Welcome to Term 3!

By Tahli

Welcome to Term 3! Our staff and students have been really busy preparing all sorts of fun activities for this term. I can't give too much away but I may as well give you a sneak peek! First thing's first - Production. Production is in week 8. Next up we have Celebration Day on the 1st of August. Our student leaders have also  been to Yarra Hills to learn about ways they can improve their leadership abilities. So that's my little sneak peek of term 3 for you!  

Yarra Hills Leadership Forum

By Ruby

Last Thursday our Student Leaders went to a leadership forum at Yarra Hills Secondary College in Mooroolbark. We learnt about resilient leaders in the world such as Michael Jordan and Martin Luther King Jnr. 

Later in the day we learnt about out KTFD, which is our Know, Think, Feel, and Decide. Then Adam Voigt, a public speaker, told us a story about a lady named Marilyn, who was killed in the Bali bombings. She was a heroine at Adam's school due to her help and time spent with the community. She had a big positive impact and continues to be remembered by those whose lives she touched, Adam's included. 

In the next session, we learnt about a fish bone structure which is a plan you use to work towards something. Our 'something' is better waste management. 

Celebration Day

By Madi

On Thursday 1st August, students can bring anything with wheels to school. This includes bikes, scooters, toy cars, prams, toy trains, and more! Each class will have a timetabled session to use their wheels item. We are celebrating with a wheels day because our students have reached 3000 positive acknowledgements.  

Please note that if your child brings something they can ride on, that they ,just bring a helmet to wear.

Make sure to check out our social media pages on facebook and Instagram for photos of this day. 

Your kids 'wheel' have fun! 

Production Practise

By Tierone and Darcy 

On Tuesday in the first week of term we started our first production dance practise and the kids loved it. Our special guest is...drumroll please....Mrs Bertrand! We would love to tell you what the songs are but we don't want to spoil it! We are all getting the hang of it, and are pretty sure we will be professionals by the night of the performance. Some of us might even have moves like Michael Jackson (not that that's a clue at all..!). Prepare to have your mind blown by our amazing skills.
