21.01.2022 Year 8 Japanese students have been learning about food recently, so Ms Kampes set up a fun practical task for her students today. Students were provided with sushi rice seasoned with furikake and seaweed to create onigiri (rice balls) filled with their choice of fillings. The students creatively shaped their onigiri into anything from puppies to pokemon with various emojis using their (clean!) hands, moulds and seaweed cutters sourced from a local Japanese store

19.01.2022 The Save A Life Australia Program, held last Thursday 13th August, provided an eye-opening opportunity for Year 10 students to not only learn about keeping themselves safe while driving, but also as a passenger in a car. In each session a student had the opportunity to sit behind the wheel and experience a driving simulation exercise, emphasising about driving positively being aware of what is potentially occurring on the road side or ahead and anticipating how to deal with the situation. Students appreciated the information and insights.

18.01.2022 Our School Services Officers play such an important role in supporting our students with their learning and making sure everything runs smoothly at our school. Whether they are welcoming visitors in the office with a cheerful smile, tending to our gardens, helping students with their work, managing the finances, preparing for practicals, or any of the other important jobs that happen throughout the school each day, we want them to know that we appreciate all that they do. Thank you! Happy SSO Week!

17.01.2022 Last Wednesday, our Year 8/9 Boys Knockout Basketball team competed in the State Knockout Pool A Finals. They beat Glenunga International High School in a thrilling one-point win and then defeated Tenison Woods College (Mt Gambier) to qualify for a Semi Final matchup against Sacred Heart College Middle School. After winning a close and challenging Semi Final, they faced Trinity College in the best matchup of the day. Coached by Mr Jarrad and assisted by Mr Trueman, the boys finished runners up in the Grand Final and recorded our best 8/9 Boys Pool A Knockout Basketball result, coming 2nd overall in the state. Congratulations boys

17.01.2022 Tomorrow is R U OK Day which is about more than one question. Its about checking in with someone more than once a year. Its about being prepared when some...one says no, Im not okay.

Lets normalise these conversations 365 days of the year, not just 1. Learn what to say at www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask #TheresMoreToSay #RUOKDay #RUOK

03.01.2022 Gentle reminder to return the consent form to school by the end of this week if you would like to arrange a free dental check for your student

01.01.2022 . A lot of warnings have been issued for children to stay off social media, specifically Tik Tok, d...ue to a graphic self harm video thats circulating. While we do recommend that parents monitor their children or keep them off the platform, it's a band-aid solution for a long-term issue due to the fact that distressing videos constantly circulate online. Instead we would like to encourage all parents and guardians to -: 1 . Understand that they will most likely use it, whether you understand the appeal or not. Ask them what apps they use, find out why they like those apps. Start a dialogue so you can start understanding why its important to them. The more you understand about it, the more you can stay across it. 2 . If you know what apps theyre using, help them make their profile as secure as possible, whether its TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitch or Reddit (the list is endless). You can do this with the help of this eSafety Commissioner guide: www.esafety.gov.au/key-issues/esafety-guide 3 . Be open and willing to listen. Make them aware of Kids Helpline Official (1800 55 1800), Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636), headspace (headspace.org.au) and Lifeline (13 11 14) so they know they have a place to contact if they dont feel comfortable approaching you. 4 . Kids often create a social media profile that they make visible to you, but keep their actual profile under a fake name hidden from you. Again, this is why we encourage you to talk to your child openly and honestly. 5 . If your child watches YouTube videos, please be aware there's no guarantee that this content will be safe for kids. People can easily edit distressing videos for kids that slip through the filters. If you can't monitor your child on YouTube then let them watch Netflix kids instead as it has stronger filters. SBS and ABC iview are both free alternatives for childrens online content. The Office of the eSafety Commissioner is a great resource for parents, guardians and kids: www.esafety.gov.au
