11.01.2022 Applications are now open for 2021 youth development voyages in STS Young Endeavour, Australia’s National Sail Training Ship. Youth aged 16-23 are invited to apply for the new 2021 voyage dates, sailing from May December in New South Wales, Queensland and Victorian waters. Since 1988 over 14,000 young Australians from across Australia have sailed in Young Endeavour, taking part in the inspiring youth development experience that helps participants develop self-awareness and ...confidence, and gives them an opportunity to grow their teamwork and leadership skills through sail training and self-development activities. During each voyage the ship embarks a crew of young Australians who will learn the skills to sail a square-rigged tall ship, including how to navigate, keep watch, cook in the gallery, set and furl sails, climb the 30 metre mast, and take the helm. They will live ‘between decks’ with fellow youth crew from across Australia, and will be encouraged to pursue personal and team goals and challenges. View the voyage dates. Read about the COVID-19 safe voyaging measures that have been developed to ensure youth crew safety. Applications are now open at www.youngendeavour.gov.au. Financial assistance is available to eligible candidates. We would appreciate your assistance including this information on your website, newsletter or social media, or otherwise distributing amongst your staff, students and networks.

11.01.2022 Some of our wellbeing team checking in with our students, R u ok?

11.01.2022 It's R U OK?Day, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. Today we're calling on Australians to learn what to say af...ter R U OK? so they can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK. There's more to say after R U OK? Learn what to say when listening with an open mind Learn what to say when encouraging action Learn what to say when checking in Learn how to continue a conversation that could change a life. When we know what to say next we can help someone open up and find pathways to support long before they're in crisis. Learn what to say next and help us move closer to our vision of a world where we're all connected and are protected from suicide. Head to www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask

07.01.2022 Some great pictures of the staff v students softball game after school yesterday. Some great memories created, though some of the students may like to forget.

A shout out to Kylie Ferguson who filled in on the students team, who was surely a contender for MVP.
