Albany Innovate Project

The Year 10 HASS and Year 12 Career and Enterprise students have been given the opportunity to take part in the Albany Innovate Project, facilitated by Worklink WA. The purpose of the program is to inspire students and develop a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. It underpins developing the region’s economy, exports and local jobs. Particularly for students, it’s to inspire them to be entrepreneurial and see and understand business career pathways in the region. 

Students have attended information workshop sessions where they have been practising entrepreneurship and critical and designing thinking. The College will host the pitch event on Friday 25 June where students will be showcasing their innovative concept in the presence of a panel of local business owners. Successful students will be provided an opportunity to further develop their concept through mentorship and seed funding of 

$1,000, plus the opportunity to pitch for another 2 x $5,000 and then another 1 x 

$10,000 in seed funding to further develop their business concept. 

Year 12 Hospitality Students

Our Year 12 Hospitality Studies students attended South Regional TAFE (Albany) on Friday 28 May to enhance their barista and customer service skills. To further develop these skills, students will be making speciality coffees during morning tea, which staff can purchase. The students are also selling a selection of home cooked meals to staff at the end of their hospitality lessons. 

Last week Term 2

All Year 11 and 12 College students must be involved in either Country Week or Work Experience in the last week of Term 2.  Year 10 students will have a choice of attending Country Week or participating in a modified learning program at the College.  It is important parents/guardians realise that if students are not involved in any of these activities they will be marked absent from school for the week with an unacceptable reason. 

Year 10 students remaining at the College in Week 10 will have the opportunity to be involved in training and assessment for a number of competencies from the agricultural training package. They will be participating in optional courses including Equine, Metals and Engineering and Automotive. Teaching staff are also organising some excursions that will relate to and complement what students have learned in class. 

Semester 1 Reports

This is a busy time for teachers and instructional staff, finalising assessments and student reports. Semester 1 Reports will be uploaded to Connect and emailed home. The first round of OLNA results will be included in the report. Students who have not passed the OLNA in Literacy and/or Numeracy will have another chance in September. For our Year 12 students this is the last school-based report they will receive and may be highly influential in gaining employment or further training next year.
