12.01.2022 SACE exams are currently happening across South Australia, so here are 5 study tips that might help you or someone you know. : Make audio recordings of yourself reading notes so you can listen to them later during walks (because study breaks and fresh air are important!)... Use white noise to help block out noise. There are lots of white noise videos on YouTube and plenty of free apps. Bring some colour into your study time to help you remember and associate better. Things like highlighters, sticky notes and crayons. Sing information that just won’t stick. Even better, put the information into a new or existing song. Get rest! Sleep is vital. Share your best study tips below!

09.01.2022 We currently have some wonderful National NAIDOC Week student artwork displayed in our Department for Education ground floor gallery. The art is all about celebrating culture with some terrific examples of our Aboriginal learners' work.

08.01.2022 It took 700 students and staff to create this Aboriginal flag. Back in 2017 for Reconciliation Week, Aldinga Beach B-7 School worked tirelessly to create a human Aboriginal flag on their oval. Given that it's National NAIDOC Week, we thought it was a great time to revisit their hard work. You can watch a video of the flag being created here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYECReBJv0E
