Aveley SC was proud to enter our very first Rugby 7s Tournament at Wanneroo Rugby Club. The Year 9 & 10 students proved just how strong a Rugby community we have at the College with some very strong performances.
In the final two games both the girls and the boys put in a fantastic effort and went on to win convincingly. A big thanks to Mr Imrie and Ms Bailey for organizing the day.
The Arts and Technology Departments are in full swing preparing for ASPIRE!! Only two days until our amazing students showcase their talents across the Arts and Technologies.
The Welcome Ceremony starts at 4 pm. We recommend you bring a picnic dinner to enjoy on our beautiful grassed Arts Courtyard, there will even be an ice cream truck!
We are very proud of Year 8 student Ashlee Martin who received third place (Year 7-10 category, focus on: sustainability) in the Chevron Focus Environment competition.
Almost 1700 photographs were submitted to the Chevron Focus Environment competition, focusing on celebrating WA’s unique biodiversity through the camera lens and the need to safeguard ecosystems for future generations.
Students in our Education Support Hub have very individualised programmes that develop their educational, physical and social skills. Some of our senior students have been learning customer service and money handling skills through an enterprise program where they create and sell gifts for special occasions. Other students enjoyed listening to stories in the library or experiencing the aroma of different spices in cooking.
We are excited to introduce the new staff members that will be joining our school next year, please keep an eye out for more introductions over the next few weeks. First up is Michelle Roberts, a fantastic Home Economics teacher.

The second student voice nomination we would like to share for this round is for Ms Watson. She is an amazing HaSS teacher and doing great work inspiring our students.

Our annual Arts and Technologies Showcase will be held at ASC on Thursday 9 December. The showcase will commence with the welcome ceremony at 4pm and conclude at 7.15pm.
This year we are taking over the whole school to celebrate all things Art and Technology. There will be dance and taiko performances, live music and art displays. We will also have exciting demonstrations including Lego, robotics, C02 dragsters, brick laying, soccer bots, laser cutters and PC construction.
We recommend making a night out of it and bringing a picnic blanket or camping chairs to sit and enjoy the live music. Bookings are not required but we ask that you sign in using the SafeWA app when you arrive.
Every year Aveley SC supports local families in need with a food drive. This year we are continuing our partnership with OzHarvest with the collection of non-perishable in-date food items such as pasta, long life milk and canned foods. Donated items should be take to First Aid before school and can earn our students one house point per item.
Donations will be accepted between Monday 22 November to Monday 6 December.
Extension Maths and Science students in Year 9 visited ECU to investigate engineering as a career. They did activities with robotics and structural materials as well as visiting several specialist engineering areas like the environmental laboratory, structural testing facility and motorsports workshop. Students were also spoken to about the different disciplines within engineering to guide them towards these careers. A very interesting and successful trip!
The students from Mr Hopkins ESH class have enjoyed making furniture this semester. They have used two different types of timber (Meranti and Pine) to make a table. They have learnt several techniques including trenching, joining, shaping and lots of sanding to complete their projects to a very fine standard.
