Kindergarten Assistance Program

This program involves Secondary students assisting Kindergarten students in their rooms to help make their transition into school life easier. The tasks that the Secondary students are involved in include; providing individual attention to students that may be experiencing difficulties with their fine motor skills, assisting with literacy activities such as reading to students or listening to students read, partnering with a less confident child while they undertake an activity to help build confidence and assisting students in the playground. All of this helps to create a happy and secure environment for starting school by assisting the Kindergarten students to settle into class and school routines quickly and confidently. Thank you to all of the students involved in this valuable program.

Later this term, Year 10 students will be participating in Work Experience. Not only does this provide the students with an opportunity to practically apply what they have learnt in the classroom, but also experience the demands and expectations of a workplace. The school appreciates that these opportunities are made possible by the community that choose to host students and provide them with this rich experience.

Charles Sturt University visited and presented to our year 12 students, topics covered included courses offered by CSU, scholarships, and accommodation options as well as helping build aspiration towards their post school plans.
