Message from our School Captains
On Wednesday the 19th of February, the School Captains attended the South Gippsland Shire Youth Forum in Leongatha.
Throughout the day we participated in three different activities with numerous council members involving topics such as: local sporting opportunities and events, our beautiful natural environment and the animals living in it, and other prominent topical issues within our shire such as inclusivity, accessibility, mental health awareness and connection. A highlight of these activities was being able to share our own thoughts and ideas with our peers and the council members, discussing topics we felt were important and bringing up things we wanted to see more of in our local communities as young people.
We were also able to mingle, not only with representatives from the three other schools that attended: Leongatha Secondary College, Foster Secondary College and Korumburra Secondary College – providing us a great opportunity to connect with our peers – but we also got the opportunity to speak one on one with some local council members and share our ideas and thoughts about our communities and our shire as a whole.
Overall, a fantastic experience and a great opportunity to have our voices heard by the local council.
Throughout the month we also had the chance to help VOS plan and run the Clean-Up Australia day for the school, in which every class in the school spent 30 minutes working to make the school a cleaner place. We assisted with setting up the event while helping out on the day, taking photos and picking up some rubbish ourselves. The day event ended up being a great way to unite the school while also encouraging kids to put their rubbish in the bin and take pride in their school grounds.

School Student Broadband Initiative
The School Student Broadband Initiative is working toward bridging the digital divide for students.
Through this initiative, 30,000 eligible families with school-aged children across the country will receive free NBN internet access, helping to enhance learning opportunities at home.
This program is available to all Victorian families with school-aged students, and we want to ensure as many eligible families as possible can benefit.
Please contact Gail in our school Welfare team for further information.
Super 8s Cricket Report
Well done to our Year 7 and 9 team at the super 8's cricket today. Without question they were the best behaved teams at the tournament. They were all exceptionally supportive, showed great teamwork, and were polite and respectful to officials, opponents and each other. They tried their best at all times, and the Year 9s also won the tournament and the Year 7s were runners up.
A fantastic day
Oh and a big thank you to Rory King for umpiring on the day.
