Blue Edge Begins!       

We are excited to welcome the facilitators of Blue Edge back to Woodmans Hill for another year. Blue Edge is a fantastic program for students in Years 7-9. 

The Blue EDGE (Educate, Develop, Grow, Empower) Program is a holistic program run by Blue Light in partnership with Victoria Police and Woodmans Hill Secondary College which combines physical training, mentoring and life skills education. Delivered twice weekly during school hours, Blue EDGE includes: 45 minutes of physical training and team building sessions, a shared meal and a workshop/discussion about relevant and current issues facing young people. Teachers, students, Police Members and Blue EDGE staff all work together to achieve in a space where we are all equals.

 

We are excited to see the growth and development of the students involved. 

 

 

School-Wide Positive Behaviour (SWPB)

Our new SWPB Jocelyn Gepp is looking for student volunteers for our SWPB team for 2024. All students are encouraged to apply and contribute to this exciting initiative. The focus for this year is on improving our merit system and utilizing IROAR more across the school. See Ms Gepp if this is something that may interest you.
