Our Year 8 HASS students have been busy investigating landforms and landscapes from around the world. Recently, students have been storytelling using maps through Google’s Tour Builder software. Nothing beats an old-fashioned globe though, displaying our world map in three dimensions. Not to mention they are fun to spin!
Using her skill with a paintbrush, Year 8 student Makayla Dunnings has brought new life to this world globe, which will be proudly displayed in Mr Udy’s classroom. Makayla has used bright and vibrant colours to help countries stand out, including some surprises hiding in the oceans!

Introducing Samantha Konomba who is joining our Science team. Samantha is a passionate teacher who has strong Biological Sciences background.
Hello everyone my name is Samantha Konomba. I am very excited to be joining the Aveley Secondary College Science and Maths team. I enjoyed my time relief teaching at Aveley last year and felt welcomed by staff and students.
I acquired my Bachelor of Science (Animal Science + Animal Health) at Murdoch University where I also completed a Graduate Diploma in Education . I would love to impart the knowledge I have to the students at Aveley and teach them to be resilient learners who give everything a fair go and don’t give up on their dreams.

Hello everyone, my name is Kelly Reynolds, and I will be joining the HaSS department from this year. My background is in Geography and Science which I studied in my 4-year Bachelor of Education degree. I recently completed my degree in the middle of the year and spent the rest of 2020 teaching at John Tonkin College in Mandurah. I am excited to join Aveley Secondary College and be a part of this supportive and enthusiastic community
2020 Yearbooks have arrived and they look great! If you would like to purchase this fantastic record of the joys of the last school year we have plenty of Yearbooks available for purchase for $20. Payment can be made via Qkr or in the front office.
Due to the shortened nature of this term we will only be offering a small sampler of academies including Year 10 Strength and Conditioning, Girls Soccer, Taiko Drumming, Board Games and Year 10 Aspirations – Chemistry.
Academies will run from Week 4-8 and permission forms can be completed on QKR. Information regarding the academies has been emailed home to Parents and Caregivers and is also available on our website.
Our new course “Catering and Café Culture” commenced for our Year 10 students last week. The first week of lessons was focused on plating and presentation to create marketable food products. The Year 10s worked exceptionally well to prepare a Pancake Stack with a Berry Compote accompaniment, where they focused on batch consistency and presentation.
Smartriders have been ordered for all new students this week. They should arrive in the next week or so and will be given to students in Homeroom. Current students that have lost their Smartrider can order replacement cards from the front office for $5. Whilst you wait for your child’s Smartrider to arrive you will need to buy tickets using cash.
