On Friday 28 October over 150 Year 7s attended their Lightning Carnival for netball, AFL, soccer and basketball. Our netball team came away with two champion places, one runner-up place and one third place. The soccer teams placed second and third in their division. Our basketball teams finished the day on two wins and enjoyed learning how to work as a team. Our AFL team gave their very best, with many students showing promising leadership qualities. We look forward to participating in this event again next year.
Student Voice – Mr Mitchell
As part of our student voice initiative students are offered the chance to acknowledge the exceptional efforts and commitment of our staff. We had so many wonderful nominations this Semester that it was very difficult to pick just three staff appreciation nominations to highlight. The first staff member we would like to recognise is Mr Mitchell. He is an amazing English teacher who is committed to supporting his students.
“I would like to thank you for being a bright and funny teacher that teaches well and makes class more enjoyable. You have helped me improve on my writing and a lot of things that I found hard last year. I feel as if I’ve improved a lot in English and I’m happy with how much you’ve helped me. Thanks for being an awesome teacher.”
Interschool Athletics
On Monday 24 October, 60 students represented the College at the Interschool Athletics Carnival. We finished second overall with Lachlan in Year 11 winning Champion Boy, Perez placing Runner Up in Year 10 and Michael winning Runner Up Boy in Year 7. A great day all around. We can’t wait to attend again next year when we enter a higher division.
World Teacher’s Day
Last Friday 28 October was World Teachers’ Day. The theme this year was ‘Hats off to teachers’. The theme represents teachers’ great resilience over the past few years while continuing to focus on teaching and learning. Our goal has always been to select the best quality staff who deliver exemplary teaching and learning so it is an honour to show them our appreciation.
We recognised our amazing teaching staff through a morning tea, with cupcakes, where they were given the kind messages from the Student Voice nominations.
Career Tasters
Year 9 students have been seizing the opportunities provided by the Career Taster Program. So far, 23 students have taken part in hands on informative career experiences designed to help them explore the wide variety of career pathways available.
Students have engaged with North Metro TAFE’s “Song Factory”, Stanley College’s “Experience ICT” and North Metro TAFE’s “Art and Photography” Tasters.
Coming up over the next few weeks another 90 students will have the opportunity to take part in Tasters for dentistry, engineering, forensics, marine biology, wildlife conservation and drones.
Staff Vs Students Netball
Congratulations to our staff on another win over the students at the end of term Staff Vs Students netball competition. It was well received by the students and they are already asking for a rematch.
Academies
Last term’s Sewing Academy had students spending their afternoons working on any sewing project that interested them. Popular creations included “DIY Oodies” as well as smaller projects such as bucket hats and tie dye samples. We look forward to seeing what our students create this term as Academies return this week. Don’t forget to sign up on Qkr as places are limited!
One of the schools getting it right.
All Things SPOOKY
A Year 7 & 8 inclusive student disco will be held Friday 4 November, 6pm to 8pm in the Performing Arts Theatre. The theme this year is “All Things SPOOKY”. Students are encouraged to dress up in fancy dress and prizes will be awarded for the most creative costumes. The cost of the disco is $10 and can be paid via the school Qkr App or through the front office.
An email outlining the details of the disco has been sent out to all Year 7 & 8 parents.
FIRST Robotics Regional Playoffs
Our students recently competed in the FIRST Robotics Competition’s West Australian Regional Playoffs. Congratulations are due as they finished third in the qualification stage and then third overall, narrowly missing the final by literal centimetres. The students started designing and building their robot in March and have spent many hours refining and testing their creation. The robot will be on show at this year’s ASPIRE showcase where you can have a go at driving and shooting basket-ball hoops with it.
