The ANZAC Spirit
We were delighted to see so many of our students once again stand to pay their respects to the servicemen and women who have served Australia. Marching in our annual community ANZAC Day march is a proud tradition for Wee Waa High School staff and students and we were impressed with how many students did so this year of their own accord given the COVID 19 distancing measures meant the tradition march was not possible.
We asked students to share with us a photo of themselves paying their respects on ANZAC Day.

Another challenge we set our students for ANZAC Day was to cook, present and photograph ANZAC biscuits in a creative manner. Here are the terrific entries we received. The winner, chosen by Ms Pocock was Kirrily Johnson.

Studiosity - Free online study help for our Year 10, 11 and 12 students
Thanks to the University of New England, our senior students now have free access to
Australia’s favourite online, on-demand study help service, Studiosity.
What is it?
There are two ways students get study help:
Connect Live
Ask a question and get connected in real-time to an online Subject Specialist who helps
them figure it out on their own (available 24/7, for all core subject areas including English,
maths, science subjects, business studies and more).
Writing Feedback
Students can upload their draft written work, like essays, and in less than 24 hours they’ll
receive their document back with really useful, actionable feedback on how to improve it.
How do students log in?
Students will receive an email with a link to activate their free account. They simply follow
the prompts to set their password.
Then, they can log in anytime by finding their school at une.edu.au/homeworkhelp and
entering their email and password.
Why?
Every student gets stuck sometimes when they’re studying or doing homework. With
Studiosity, that never has to mean giving up, but can always mean persevering, figuring it
out and building confidence and resilience. Learning doesn’t have to stop when the bell
goes. With 24/7 access to support, every student has the opportunity to succeed.
