CHALLENGE WEEK & RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS PROGRAM

Tuesday 23 - Friday 26 August 2016

What a great success….

 

THANK YOU to all the Year 8 and 9 students for their commitment to the program and for being so involved in all aspects of the week.

 

As outlined in the previous issues of the SCORE newsletter, students were involved in a range of activities that challenged them emotionally, socially, physically and intellectually:

  • RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS Program
  • Brainstorm Production, “Sticks and Stones” for all Year 7, 8 and 9 students
  • Climbing Rock Wall
  • Bollywood Dancing
  • Comic Art workshop
  • Japanese Drumming
  • Mind Challenges
  • Youth Budgeting CAP course
  • BBQ on the last day (Years 7 – 12)

 

The surveys conducted at the end of the Respectful Relationships component and general feedback from students has been positive, with some great ideas for improvement and development of the program for 2017.

 

I would like to thank all of the staff involved in the Challenge Program which included teaching and support staff. Also great work from all of our presenters. In particular, THANKS to the staff trained in the Respectful Relationships program and for all their preparation beforehand. (Fiona Matthews, Emma Morris, Simone Hargrave and Michael Alexis)

 

 

Year 7 Comments

This year has been really good because we have done a lot of important things to help with our education, I  have made a lot more friends also I have really enjoyed meeting all the new students and this year  as year 7 leader and being on the SRC I had amazing roles which I would not get if not student leader.

What I enjoy about learning at Scoresby Secondary College is being able to have an open conversation with your teachers to let them know if you need help with the work you're given or if you feel that the works too easy for you. Teachers also try and get you to separate what we know and don't know so that we can learn the stuff that we don't know. So far I have enjoyed it here at Scoresby and I wouldn't change schools for the world.

I enjoy learning about history because it means we can learn about our ancestors and how we evolved and lots of other past civilisations.

I enjoyed food technology, cooking food and learning new recipes. The food that we made was amazing, I enjoyed trying new foods and developing my skills.

What I have enjoyed about this year is food technology, music and hanging with friends. In music, I learned how to play the bass guitar and in food technology, I enjoyed making the chocolate truffles. In year 8, I am looking forward to further developing my music skills.
