Stage 4 HUBS 

Year 7 Lifestyle have been discovering if they have GRIT through a range of team building, problem solving decision making and challenge activities. Students have been competing in small teams to complete challenges each practical lesson. There skills will be put to the test when they take on The RAW Challenge course at Doyalson later in the term. A reminder that permission notes and waiver forms have gone home with students and all monies and notes need to be returned by 10th June.  

Year 8 Lifestyle have been investigated Cyber Safety through our Click, Like, Share project. Students in Blue hub have worked collaboratively to create an interactive resource which was presented to a Year 7 Hub during our Cyber Safety Exhibition. Students were able to present information to peers relating to issues such as Cyberbullying, Sexting, Digital Reputation and Respect online. In other Hubs students worked independently to create a an informative and eye catching Infographic.  

Year 10 PASS  

This elective class have been working on their Sports Coaching skills.  During theory lessons have they been completing coaching accreditation courses online and in practical lessons they have been developing their skills in providing feedback and designing skill appropriate activities. They had the opportunity to present to Yr 8 and were able to impart their knowledge on the skills and rules of Slide Hockey. We hope their love of coaching continues and we see them take on coaching junior teams in our local community.  

Year 12 SLR 

This semester Year 12 SLR participated in the Sports Administration Unit with dedication and success. As part of their assessment task each student was required to assist in the administration and organisation of an event for the Annual Athletics Carnival. Teachers from each event reported that the students were the best ever volunteers and as a result the competitors were able to perform to a high standard.
