National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence

In recognition of the National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence, students and staff at Wheelers Hill Secondary College ran a number of activities centred on student safety and positivity. Students completed a survey on safety and Home Group Captains organised and ran activities during their home group sessions, such as making role plays on bullying and coming up with random acts of kindness they could do for others. During lunchtime throughout the week, students used chalk to write positive messages such as 'Care for Others', 'Say Only Nice Things' and 'Be Mindful' on the library courtyard, and students from years 7-10 met on the oval at lunchtime on the Day of Action itself to spell 'Bullying No Way'. We thank all the students who participated actively in these activities, as well as the staff who facilitated and supported them - special thanks to Mrs Anderson, Mrs Robinson, Ms Ford and the year level coordinators for their organisation and support of activities, and to Mr Bragg, who used the school drone to take photos of the courtyard and the oval demonstration. 

World's Greatest Shave

Wheelers Hill Secondary College will once again be holding an event for the World's Greatest Shave on the last day of term 1 (April 5th). We have already had many students sign up to colour their hair, have their legs waxed or have their heads shaved for this wonderful cause. Our participants are starting to make their online accounts - we've already raised just over a thousand dollars thanks to the efforts of just three of our student shavers! To donate to our ever-growing online team of students and staff, please use the following link:

We will be having a free dress day for students to raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation, and the Student Voice group will be running fun activities at lunchtime, in addition to the shaving, colouring and waxing, where students can donate more money to participate - stay tuned for more information via our school social media accounts! Last year we raised over $6000 for this wonderful charity - hopefully we can do even better this year!
