Love Bites
In Term 1, our Year 10 cohort participated in the Love Bites program which aims to provide young people with a safe environment to examine, discuss and explore respectful relationships. The program aims to encourage student reflection and growth by examining and transforming attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to foster non-violence. The full day workshop concluded with creative sessions, where students produced engaging posters with high impact messages about respect and independent decision making. Student feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
RoadWhyz
On 31st May, Year 11 will be participating in the ROADWHYZ program which is a joint initiative of NSW Police, NSW Ambulance Service and parents within the community. The program has been developed to assist drivers, in particular those young drivers from the age of 16 – 25, with the aim to provide all involved with the tools, skills and knowledge needed to stay safe on our roads.
2024-2025 Leap Frog
This year, 22 Year 6 students participated in the Leapfrog Program for students requiring additional transition support while entering high school. The program delivered activities to build student familiarity, confidence, and resilience, making the transition into Year 7 in 2025 a positive experience. During the program, students engaged in a range of typical high school activities, including moving around the school to locate rooms and facilities, reading timetables, visiting practical Visual Art, Science and Technology classrooms and participating in
a Science and Maths lesson with their Year Advisers. Throughout the 4 week program, students met key personnel who will support them throughout their high school journey including the Head Teacher Wellbeing, Student Support Officer, School Counsellor and Deputy Principal and other relevant personnel. A highlight of the Leapfrog Program was the development of new friendships made by all students involved. Another positive experience for our incoming Year 7 students!
School Service Group
Throughout the year selected students, mostly from Year 10 but ranging from across the junior school have been working with Mr Greive on different projects to improve the environment that we all live and work in.
The latest and most impressive has been the refurbished old painted wooden table which has been painstakingly stripped back, sanded, filed, oiled and re-sanded. The finished product resides in the D-block courtyard and is a testimony to benefits of teamwork and persistence.
The students involved should be extremely proud of their efforts and be encouraged by what they can do.
Year 10 Wellbeing Focus Day
Year 10 visited Luna Park to participate in fun rides to celebrate the end of year 10. This was a day filled with celebrating the bonds formed in junior school and looking forward to senior studies. Despite the rain, a good day was had by all.
