25.01.2022 Last week our Humanities department welcomed special guests from the Kawana Waters RSL sub-branch to share their experiences of the Vietnam War with our Year 12 Modern History students. Maureen Javes served at Vung Tau as a nursing sister with the New Zealand Army and cared for casualties from the Tet Offensive and battles of Coral and Balmoral. Tony Creswick-Jackson was a national service infantryman and served with 6RAR and 9RAR in Vietnam. President of the Kawana Waters RSL sub-branch, Gary Penney also shared his valuable insights into life at the time and the experiences of veterans in Australia. These guests had some incredible stories to tell and helped the history we have read about in the text books become real. We look forward to welcoming them back again in the future!

17.01.2022 This term, students across Year 7 and 8 have been taking part in ‘Wellness Wednesdays’ at The Sports Hub Sunshine Coast. This program aims to engage, educate and inspire students to become active participants in their mental and physical wellbeing by sampling a range of activities on offer at the Sports Hub. Students rode bikes in a disco, practiced mindfulness through yoga, worked out in an F45 class, and learnt about the importance of sleep (they may have also had to practice what they had learnt with a little nap!). To top it all off, in their final session next week, students are off to the floating spa! A fun time had by all!

15.01.2022 Yesterday Year 4 participated in a Leadership Development Program, focussing on confidence, respect and self esteem. We learnt how to think of others needs with a focus on building trust, rapport and teamwork. We practised using positive communication and encouragement through the Amazing Race activities. This involved stepping outside of our comfort zones, problem solving and fostering new friendships. This deepened our conversational skills necessary to be an effective leader whilst respecting the differences in others. The conclusion of the day was a powerful session of positive affirmation and recognition. An outstanding day was had by all.

07.01.2022 Hamlet is considered among the most powerful and influential works of world literature, with a story capable of "seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others". The Senior Drama class have reimagined the story of Hamlet by setting it in a modern context and keeping true to the traditional language of Shakespeare. It was one of Shakespeare's most popular works during his lifetime and still ranks among his most performed.
06.01.2022 Preppy Ted had another group of new enrolments visit earlier in the week. He was so excited to see them all come in.

He is counting down now until Term 4 when the transition visits will start.

Due to Covid 19, students were not permitted to perform live to an audience, so we decided to make our own film instead. Lots of laughs were shared.
03.01.2022 What a fantastic term it has been in Primary Arts! The primary students have been learning about different types of dance and working towards their dance in-class performances over Term 3. Primary students have collaborated in teams to create dance choreography, based on stimulus music, which tells a story or expresses a mood. These photos show our budding choreographers in the planning and rehearsing stages of their work. Kawana’s Got Talent Heats are now completed and we look forward to the Semi Final and Final performances in Term 4.
