Junior AECG
Congratulations to Jahmal, Charlotte, Jasmine & Bailee who have been elected to the Junior AECG committee at the AECG meeting today.
The JAECG committee is a platform that gives students a voice and agency within their school community. Student voice is when students actively participate in the decision-making at school on things that shape their educational experiences.
Supporting Aboriginal students’ voices, having their ideas and opinions considered, establishes a student’s sense of belonging, positive relationships with teachers and peers and acknowledges their diverse and unique cultural identity. The JAECG collaborating with the school community is a consultative process which allows for stronger representation of Aboriginal Cultures throughout the school environment.
Future Anything Workshop
Selected students from Years 7-11 are attending the Future Anything workshop today in the MPU. The workshops are aimed to develop an Entreprenurial mindset, social enterprise, how to overcome challenges, failure and navigating the "future of work".
At the conclusion of the Future Anything workshop, teams of students had a final 1-minute pitch to sell their idea. Mrs Clothier was extremely impressed with proposals from each group, the winner was Road to Regions. Well done to all the participants & thankyou to Mrs Clothier for providing this opportunity to our students.
