Black Dog Institute Teens and Screens Program

On Monday 27 October, Year 9 students took part in the Teens & Screens program, created by researchers at the Black Dog Institute. This 45–50 minute interactive presentation explored ways to build digital literacy and promote safer, healthier experiences online.

Students were encouraged to reflect on their own online habits, consider the impact of social media on wellbeing, and develop strategies for managing their digital lives more confidently and responsibly.

New leaders first student-led assembly 

On Wednesday 5 November, our newly appointed Student Leaders hosted their first student-led assembly. The beginning of a tradition that will continue once each term throughout their leadership journey.

These assemblies provide an opportunity for Student Leaders to represent the student voice, share updates from their portfolio areas, and celebrate achievements across the College. They also offer valuable experience in public speaking, collaboration, and responsibility, helping students strengthen their confidence and leadership skills while they are student leaders. 

We congratulate Emily and Rex and the entire Student Leadership team for a job well done!
