🌟📚 Another Great ALNF Training Block at KHS! 📚🌟
This week, we welcomed ALNF trainers Jo and Illona back to KHS to deliver the second block of face-to-face training for KHS students completing their Certificate IV in Early Language and Literacy.
ALNF students were excited to visit Kintore Street School and enjoyed meeting with Sally Lovering to discuss future placement opportunities. Experiences like these help students build confidence, make valuable connections, and gain a better understanding of the pathways available to them.
A huge shout out to Dave for supporting opportunities for KHS students to get involved by catering for our visitors and students participating in the course. They were certainly well fed throughout the week! It was fantastic to see students working together and showcasing their skills.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the week a success. We are incredibly proud of our students and the enthusiasm they continue to show throughout the program. 👏✨

Students from Katherine High School, Kintore Street School (Katherine) and Warakirri School (NSW) recently visited Vista Gold’s Mt Todd project, Australia’s largest undeveloped gold resource. Students explored open-cut mining processes, took part in a hands-on mine development simulation, and learned about the many career pathways within the mining industry. The interactive experience provided valuable insight into the journey from exploration to production and was enjoyed by all.

Creativity came to life in our RISE Design and Technology class this semester!
Students explored the world of 3D design using digital modelling software, creating everything from futuristic vehicles and personalised keychains to custom name tags and original animation characters.
Through these projects, students developed their creativity, problem-solving skills and confidence with digital technologies while turning their ideas into impressive 3D models.
Well done to all our talented designers!
