25.01.2022 The Year 8 students took part in an Inter-academy rugby carnival showcasing their skills they acquired over 4 weeks of training with Kailey Thompson from NRL WA. The students impressed everybody with their positive can-do attitude. As part of the camp we stayed overnight at Woodman’s Point, only steps away from the beach. Students enjoyed dining together, games, archery, ultimate sports and other fun ice breakers. A memorable trip was had and strong friendships formed

23.01.2022 On Thursday 10 September, a group of 17 Year 10 students visited the Holocaust Institute in Yokine. The purpose of the visit was to enhance student’s understanding of this dark event in history and to complement their studies of this period in English and HASS classes. While the content of the excursion was confronting at times, students responded maturely and asked some terrific questions. The excursion ended with an address from Rivka, a 91 year-old survivor of the Holocaust. Her story was extremely moving and her ability to endure her suffering, survive and live a successful life provides a tremendous example for our students.

23.01.2022 Farewell and good luck!

21.01.2022 Cupcake Challenge At the end of Term 2, our Year 9 students, were faced with a Master Chef challenge. They had to cook and decorate their cupcakes within a set time limit.

21.01.2022 Certificate I in Leadership - A success story We celebrate the success of our Year 10 Aboriginal Students who have just completed their Certificate I in Leadership. This was achieved under the professional & dedicated guidance of the WA Police & Community Youth Centres(WAPCYC) Trainer, Mr Trevor Westwood. Certificate I in Leadership is a bridging course that assists young people to progress to further education, training or employment through the development of employability... and leadership skills and increased community participation. The students decided their group project would centre around an aboriginal artwork piece symbolising place & country. They were justifiably very proud of their final product. Congratulations go to the following students: Denae Whittington Nakia Newbery Ethan Quartermaine Ryan Wright Elizabeth Narrier
