Leadership 2 has had a busy term! Students have been developing their independence, leadership and community participation skills through the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, working towards their Physical Recreation, Volunteering and Skill goals. Some students have also taken on the challenge of completing the Silver Virtual Journey, demonstrating commitment, perseverance and the ability to work towards long-term goals.
Our class has also been building their communication and social skills to prepare for their Social Connection Excursion. Through engaging activities and role-play, students have been practising how to start and maintain conversations, confidently communicate with new people and develop their interview skills. These skills were put to the test during our visit to the Billy Dower Youth Centre where students participated in activities and practised their positive communication skills with students from another school. Experiences like these help our students build the confidence and skills they need to participate successfully in their community, future workplaces and everyday life.
It has been fantastic to see students challenge themselves, work collaboratively and develop greater confidence and independence throughout the term!

BOOK WEEK DISCO FUN!

Yesterday, our Year 7, 8 and 9 students had a fantastic time attending the Book Week Disco at Malibu School, celebrating the magic of books, characters and imagination! Our students embraced the occasion with some fabulous costumes, with plenty of Harry Potters, Where’s Wallys and Yodas hitting the dance floor! A very special congratulations goes to our Year 9 student, TJ, who took out the Best Costume prize in his incredible inflatable Hulk costume!

Beyond the costumes and dancing, the afternoon was a wonderful opportunity for our students to connect with students from another school, make new connections and enjoy a shared celebration together. Everyone had a wonderful time and our students proudly represented our school throughout the event. A huge thank you to Malibu School for inviting us and for creating such a fun and welcoming Book Week celebration, a wonderful afternoon celebrating books, friendship, connection and a little bit of Book Week magic!

Pathway Planning Term 3 Week 4 – Workplace Learning Highlights

In Week 4, many of our students stepped into our local community for Workplace Learning opportunities. Workplace Learning provides valuable hands-on learning in the workplace, helping to develop work readiness skills for future employment.

We are always so very proud of the professionalism, enthusiasm, compassion, initiative and maturity our students demonstrate through their involvement in our Pathway Planning program and we consistently receive fantastic positive feedback from the employers who welcome them.

Our students engaged in Workplace Learning across a range of industries, gaining valuable experience and insight into different career pathways.

At Woolworths, students developed retail and bakery skills, while others gained retail experience at Red Dot Home, including pricing and shelving stock and supporting daily store processes.

Students pursuing automotive pathways gained hands-on industry experience at Mad Mechanical, Custom Mechanics, NAPA Auto Parts, Gemini Accident Repair and Challenger Ford, developing practical skills and learning more about vehicle servicing, panel beating, parts and the automotive industry.

At Sherwood Kennels, students supported the care and daily needs of the dogs while contributing to general maintenance and cleaning.

At Workpower, students further developed their employability skills through experiences in the Timber and Packaging Rooms.

We sincerely thank all of our local employers for welcoming and supporting our students. Their ongoing commitment provides our students with valuable opportunities to build confidence, develop practical skills, explore future pathways, and make a positive contribution to the wider community.

Volunteering allows students to contribute positively to our local community whilst further developing their soft skills towards employability and life skills.

Planning is well underway for our Try a Sports Day!
The year 11 students have been busy writing and following up on professional emails, making phone calls, and preparing information package including posters, social stories and maps for the event. Students from other local Education Support schools will also be participating, giving our senior school students the opportunity to be positive role models and student leaders. An event like this not only promotes community spirit and inclusion, but also creates valuable opportunities to build partnerships with local schools, sporting groups and community organisations.

This term, our students have been exploring what it means to build a sustainable community, guided by the big idea:

“Sustainability means meeting our needs today without harming the future.”

Through rich, real-world learning across Science, Humanities, Maths and English, students have investigated how our communities and environments are interconnected. They have explored ecosystems, food production and security, environmental challenges, and the ways our choices can impact people and places both now and into the future. Importantly, students are also discovering that young people can be active contributors to their communities. They are learning to identify real community needs, investigate evidence, consider different perspectives and develop practical, sustainable ideas for positive change.

As the term progresses, students will bring this learning together by developing their own ideas to improve their local community and using their research, creativity and persuasive skills to show how young people can help shape a more sustainable future.

What an incredible opportunity we had last week! Our school, alongside many others, hit the court for a series of games, and while we might say our school put on the strongest performance, the real winner was the spirit of basketball itself.

But the excitement didn’t stop there. A handful of students were then selected to take the court against the actual Perth Wildcats.

Ritchie delivered an absolute standout performance, showing skill, confidence, and serious composure. And in a moment, none of us will forget, our very own Year 7 Tyler drained a buzzer be**er to finish the game in style. The whole stadium erupted.

What a day. What a memory. What a team.
