25.01.2022 After a delayed start, we’re so happy to welcome our students and staff back to school! An especially warm welcome to our new Year 7 and other students joining us for the first time. Thank you to all for arriving at school today wearing your face masks. It’s a strange week to start on but we’re glad to have you all back ready for a new school year! On that note, a reminder that the end of school day has now changed to 3:10pm every day of the week. Students will no longer have a home room class and there will be no early finish on Tuesday and Thursday. Start of school time remains the same with the final warning bell sounding at 8:50am.

24.01.2022 Ask R U OK? Got a feeling that someone you know or care about isnt behaving as they normally would? Perhaps they seem out of sorts? By starting a conversation and commenting on the changes youve noticed, you could help them to open up.

23.01.2022 Listen without judgement. Start a conversation. Take what they say seriously and don't interrupt or rush the conversation. Don't judge their experiences or reactions and sit patiently with silence if they need some time to think. Remember a conversation could change a life.

22.01.2022 This Thursday is R U Ok? Day. This year, more than ever, we need to check in to make sure we are all ok. A conversation could change a life.

21.01.2022 Congratulations to our Class of 2020! You have had an exceptional year this year, and we wish you all the best for your future.

19.01.2022 From Monday 18 May, all Western Australian school students will be required to return to school. There are exceptions for students who are medically vulnerable or those who have a family member with chronic health issues.

19.01.2022 For the Science Outreach Program this week we have Excelsior Primary School conducting the elephant's toothpaste experiment, in a specialist Chemistry class. Using Hydrogen Peroxide, food colouring and dishwashing liquid and then adding some dry yeast to warm water, before adding them all together, the yeast acts as a catalyst to remove the oxygen from the hydrogen peroxide. It does this very quickly which is why there are lots of bubbles.

19.01.2022 Please support our Foodbank Appeal with any non perishable foods like canned meals, long life milk, pasta, rice, cereal, jams and spreads or tea and coffee. Collection points are in the library and the breakfast club, only until 11th September. Every contribution makes a difference!

18.01.2022 Wishing all of our teachers a Happy Teacher's Day today. We thank you for the amazing work you do and your commitment to our College and our students.

18.01.2022 Enjoy the holiday break! Please note Monday 20th July and Tuesday 21st July are CVC Staff Development Days. Students return to school on Wednesday 22nd July 2020.

16.01.2022 Dear Parents/Guardians The Perth, Peel and South-West 5-day lockdown will end as planned at 6pm tonight, Friday 5 February, pending no further local cases. Under the post-lockdown transition measures, Perth and Peel schools will start from Monday 8 February, with the mandatory mask rule applying to all school staff and secondary students, including Year 7 students under the age of 12.... The expectation is that all students are required to bring their own mask. All parents who wish to enter school grounds must also wear a mask. If your child has a medical condition that affects their ability to wear a mask please email [email protected]. We will action these emails when College staff return on Monday and follow up with parents on a case-by-case basis where required. As any new information is made available, we will be in touch. We look forward to welcoming all students on Monday. Kind regards Paul Bottcher Principal

15.01.2022 This week a team of CVC students competed in the third and final round of the mock trial competition held at the Supreme Court in Perth, where we were matched against Hale School. Our team won with a very commendable performance as the defence in a civil trial. We had two wins and one loss in the competition which was very impressive considering this is the first time competing, and as mostly year 10 students, they were the youngest team in the competition. Congratulations goes to Rhiannon Mayers, Zabby Gurpatap, Rojin Didari, Laura Loveday, Kudzai Mlambo, Keisha Patricio, Maha Zahir and Farah Al-Absawi.

14.01.2022 As part of the Year 12 General Health Studies course our Year 12 students will be running health promotion stalls for students, tomorrow at lunchtime! These stalls will be focusing on three key areas: healthy eating, mental health & physical activity. All students welcome to come along to SL3

14.01.2022 Last week our Yr 10's played basketball in the local Zone Carnival against other schools. Sam Hunt captained our boys A team to finish 2nd in their pool, with our B team also finishing 2nd in their pool. A special mention goes to Laytonmarc Powell for sinking the winning shot in a very close game! Our girls were also very competitive and put up a great fight for seven consecutive games in what was a tough competition. They all played well and thoroughly enjoyed the day.

14.01.2022 Expressing what we are grateful for is a powerful way of working on our optimism. Our Student Support team will be interviewing staff and students this week and asking them what they are grateful for. Stay tuned for the video...

11.01.2022 Year 5 Ranford Primary School students examine a dissected bone and view Euglena under a microscope with Mr Smith, during a Biology class of the Science Outreach Program. The Science Outreach Program enables local primary schools to get a taste of specialist science areas in preparation for their secondary education.

11.01.2022 A small group of our Year 8 students decided to present their solar passive house model by using the video game Minecraft! These students combined their science knowledge and technology skills in a cross-curricular sense, to showcase their assignement. As a Minecraft: Education lead school its about more than just playing video games! This is a small snapshot of the virtual tour presented.

11.01.2022 Check in. Remember to call them in a couple of weeks. If theyre really struggling, follow up with them sooner. Stay in touch and be there for them. Genuine care and concern can make a real difference.

11.01.2022 Tomorrow marks the beginning of National Reconciliation Week, which runs 27 May to 3 June each year.These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the Reconciliation journey - the 1967 Referendum, and the High Court decision in Mabo. The week is also preceded by National Sorry Day which is today (Tuesday, 26 May). Reconciliation Week is a time for us to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to reconci...liation in our workplaces, schools and communities. Significantly, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Bridge Walk for Reconciliation, when people came together to walk across the nation to show support for a more reconciled Australia. This years theme, In This Together, is now resonating in ways which could not have been foreseen when it was announced last year. It reminds us whether we are in crisis or in reconciliation, we are all in this together.

10.01.2022 Today our Yr 12 ATAR Earth and Environmental Science students conducted an experiment on the ocean's circulation. A blue ice block was placed in a trough of water to simulate the current of cold water from the poles to when it meets land and bringing with it nutrients for sea life.

10.01.2022 Our Student Council supports local charities as part of their leadership roles within the college, and they have just finished their Foodbank drive. Foodbank in WA provides food relief to just under 44,000 people each month, and they require an additional 30% of food donations in order to meet current demand. For the past two weeks our Student Councillors have been promoting these facts in order to generate as many donations as possible to support this charity. Thank you to all those who donated. #PublicEducationWA #foodbank

10.01.2022 Encourage action. Ask questions like: What have you done in the past to manage similar situations? How would you like me to support you? Whats something you can do for yourself right now? Something thats fun, relaxing or enjoyable?... Maybe seeking advice from a health professional is required. See more

09.01.2022 Over the last week Ms Hirschberg's Year 11 and 12 Certificate II Community Services students have been busy making cardboard flower arrangement for residents of the Meath Care aged care facility in Como. With COVID-19 affecting visiting hours, many of the ladies in the care facility were unable to celebrate Mother's Day with their children this year. Thank you to our Community Services students who assisted in creating enough of these beautiful arrangements for all the women at the home. A lovely gesture and act of community service for our students to be involved in.

08.01.2022 Over the past week we have been celebrating Languages Week at Canning Vale College. This week raises awareness of the benefits of language and highlights the linguistic diversity within our community. Did you know there are more than 240 languages and dialects spoken in Western Australia today?

08.01.2022 To provide a further update on my earlier communication, Canning Vale College has now been supplied with some masks, however, we are asking that if your child/ren have their own please ensure that they wear it upon leaving home/travelling to, or arrival at the College, as is required under Government directions for the Perth Metropolitan and Peel Regions. Where required we will complete a controlled distribution to those who have been unable to secure their own supplies. Par...ents are reminded, that if you need to come to the College you are required to report to Administration, wearing a mask, where you will be welcomed and assisted by our staff. To start the morning, students should arrive by 8:45am and head to their year group assemblies, meet their Year Level Managers, Coordinators and teachers to have their timetables issued. All students will be in classes as of Session 1 and a normal timetable will operate immediately. The College Café will be fully operational as will all other facilities within the College. As was the case last year all students are to be reminded to practice good hand hygiene and students are encouraged to bring water bottles to fill rather than drinking directly from the water fountains. We look forward to welcoming back our continuing students and those starting at Canning Vale College for the first time. Kind regards Paul Bottcher Principal

With equal parts of Sebacoyl Chloride and 1,6-Hexanediamine Solutions the polymer starts to form at the interface between the liquids. As you can see Mr Naidu swirls the solution so the polymer wraps around the utensil, just like making Candy Floss! #PublicEducationWA #scienceweek

01.01.2022 Congratulations to Yr 12 ATAR Visual Arts student Juan Diego Arellano Rivas, after his work "Fistful of Dollars, Duck You Sucker!, Navajo Joe" took out the top place at the 2020 META exhibition through Central Galleries in Perth. META has become an important marker in the Visual Arts schedule across Western Australia for Showcasing innovative and exciting creative works completed by Yr 11 and 12 students enrolled in Visual Art and Design courses. META complements North Metr...o TAFEs prestigious art and design programs and acknowledges the excellence and originality of budding artist/designers in senior secondary schools across Western Australia. Of the 87 selected entries from the statewide call-out, Juans work was described as, "A sophisticated reference to global politics through the use of pop-cultureboth film and comic. An excellent display of skills and competence with digital illustration, Juan demonstrates a great understanding of line and colour. Juans statement was also very articulate and the energy and perspective of the work caught the eye of lecturing staff across several disciplines. Compelling and accomplished."
