05.05.2022 UNI READY - PARTNERSHIP WITH CURTIN UNIVERSITY The UniReady Enabling Program is usually only available to students directly through Curtin University, however Southern Hills Christian College and Curtin University have entered into a partnership that allows us to deliver the UniReady In Schools Program to Year 12 students at the College. If completed successfully, it will provide students with a notional ATAR of 70 and English competency, Curtin’s minimum entry required for ...undergraduate courses. The UniReady in Schools Program has been approved as an Endorsed Program. This means it will contribute to a student’s WACE, as well as providing entry to Curtin University. The UniReady course consists of four units: Fundamentals of Academic Writing, Foundations of Communication, Introduction to Humanities and Introduction Health Sciences. At Southern Hills, the course is run by Dr van Rensburg and Dr du Plooy. For more information, contact us at (08) 9497 1751

27.04.2022 Southern Hills is your local polling booth for this Saturday’s election! You may be aware that this Saturday (21 May 2022) is the date for the Federal Election. Southern Hills Christian College gymnasium will be an official polling location for the Australian electoral Commission (AEC) and will be operational from 8:00am until 6:00pm. The College was also a polling location in 2019, with just less than 700 voters coming through during the course of the day. So, if you’re look...ing for a relaxed, local atmosphere in which to cast your vote then look no further than the College gymnasium this weekend! Located at 86 Admiral Road, Bedfordale.

You can also use these RATs if your child is a close contact to enable them to test daily and continue to attend school, as long as they receive a negative result, remai...n asymptomatic, and wear a mask if they are in Year 7 and above. Email communications have been sent with further information on the distribution of these tests. If your child becomes symptomatic they should stay home and be tested for COVID-19.

03.04.2022 CAREER EXPO Last week Thursday, our year 10 and 11 students caught the train to the city to explore some possibilities for future careers and opportunities. The Career Expo had nearly 100 vendors and it was a terrific opportunity to engage with universities, TAFE, skill development recruitment agencies, mining companies, The Defence Force and many, many more. Leading up to this excursion, students prepared some research about the vendors and identified 4 vendors they absolutely wanted to investigate. During the course of the morning, students were instructed to collect footage of vendors and interact with them in order to complete a small video/presentation for class.

They did this by making patterns with leaves and sticks, completing a treasure hunt by counting steps, cutting sticks into a meter, and building towers that could hold 3 kilograms of rocks. It was also amazing having Collective Worship out on the oval. What a great day!
