This term, some students in our Education Support Hub held their first Garden Day. Students in Room 6 supported every student in the hub to plant a vegetable by sharing their knowledge of the gardening process. They then gave each student an information card explaining the 5 needs of caring for their plant to ensure healthy growth.
This week ASC students and staff are celebrating ‘Wellness Week’. The student leaders together with our amazing Student Services staff have put together fun and informative activities based on positive wellbeing. So far students have carried out wellness activities in Homeroom classes and lesson time. Students will take part in R U OK Day and the first ASC Wellness Expo on Thursday 10 September: Many external wellbeing agencies and community groups will be holding an informative and interactive booth where all students will be able to ask questions relating to wellbeing. The Boost Juice- Boost Mobeel will be selling fruit crushes (only) and we are very lucky to have DJ Chocolate entertaining us. Students are permitted to wear their PE uniform for the day tomorrow as some of the activities are based on physical activity. This Expo will finish on Friday with a visit from the Perth Wildcats and a staff vs students basketball match.
Today’s carnival was wonderful to see so many students participating and such a great atmosphere. There were spectacular individual performances as well as awesome displays of team work and participation. Ultimately there had to be a winner…. and the 2020 Carnival Champions are Quenda.

This week is the last week of Home Economics for our second group of Year 7 students. Our students have worked hard to develop their skills over the trimester and were able to demonstrate all their learning in the final lesson while making Macaroni and Cheese. Students created their own roux sauce from scratch using butter, flour, milk and cheese, which is quite complex! We are proud of their achievements and hope to see them return to Food Technology and Textiles as elective subjects in Year 9.

Some of our students have been involved in the Minecraft Teacher Trainers academy. In this academy, the students have been developing their leadership and collaboration skills to construct fantastic lessons for their teachers. A lot of work and preparation has been put into creating lessons on various aspects of using Minecraft For Education as a teacher. The students have been teaching staff how to use Minecraft to create more engaging and creative lesson plans in their classrooms. Our teachers have really enjoyed having the tables turned and receiving high quality instruction from their students.
