What's on at our College
Year 7 Manjedal Excursion
Our Year 7 students and the Year 7 team recently enjoyed an exciting excursion to Manjedal, filled with adventure and teamwork. Throughout the day, students challenged themselves with activities such as high climbing and group problem-solving tasks that encouraged collaboration and resilience. It was fantastic to see everyone stepping out of their comfort zones and supporting one another. A big thank you to the staff who made the day such a success - what a brilliant start to the year!
2025 AFL Season
With the 2025 AFL season having just started, the Year 1 – Year 6 students were lucky enough this week to have Olivia and Mitch come out from WA Football to run a skills session for each class.
It was awesome to see the active participation by all students, even if it isn’t their chosen sport, they all gave it a go. The students all came away with some ‘hot’ tips on how to handball and kick a footy and the best part was seeing all the smiles on their faces!
A huge thank you to Olivia for giving the students this opportunity.
Year 8 Excursion to the Perth Hills Discovery Centre
Under the scorching summer sun, our Year 8 students embarked on an exciting field excursion to the Perth Hills Discovery Centre, where they had the opportunity to step into the shoes of field geologists for the day. Surrounded by the towering Jarrah trees, students were immersed in a series of hands-on activities designed to deepen their understanding of the local environment and its vital role in Perth’s water catchment system.
One of the key discussions of the day focused on the catchment model leading into Mundaring Weir. Students explored how groundwater percolates from the surrounding Perth region into the aquifer, ensuring a sustainable water source for the city. This real-world connection between geology and water management highlighted the importance of conservation and careful resource management.
Beyond the science of water, students also investigated the health of the bushland and its significance for native fauna. They examined key indicators of environmental well-being, identifying factors that contribute to a thriving ecosystem. Through these investigations, they gained a deeper appreciation of the delicate balance required to support our unique biodiversity.
Despite the heat, the day was filled with enthusiasm and curiosity, as students engaged in practical, hands-on learning that reinforced their classroom studies. The excursion provided an invaluable opportunity to connect theory with the natural world, leaving our young geologists with a greater awareness of the importance of environmental stewardship.
Thank you to the supporting educators who made the experience a memorable one; Mrs Sarah Hastie, Miss Fiona Slater, Miss Charlotte Gates, Mrs Geeta Batra, Mrs Christy Thomas and Mrs Krithika Sundarajan.
