It was an unusual start to the term, with a long weekend straight away. As expected, we had fewer students in boarding over the weekend, but they were certainly kept busy over the few days.

 

On Saturday, students represented the College in Harvey at the ANZAC Day march. They looked spectacular in their uniforms and did both themselves and the College proud in the way they conducted themselves.

 

On Saturday evening, we had a visit from Narrogin Ag College, who brought around 10 students and a couple of staff members over for the Harvey Show. Dinner was a shared barbecue before everyone headed into the show to watch the fireworks display.

 

Sunday was spent at the show, followed by a trip to Eaton for a bit of shopping. Monday was a lazy day, just chilling before all the other students returned.

 

What's Happened this Week

Once again, we were very busy with town sports and training for all the different country week sports across several days.

 

Heidi and Pauline kicked off the yearly pool competition this week, with a total of 60 competitors ready to battle it out: 32 boys and 26 girls.  It should be a great competition and plenty of friendly rivalry.

Dorms

We often receive questions about why students are only permitted to be in their own dormitories. When we moved into the College, a number of structures and expectations were put in place, and this is one of them. The reasons behind these decisions are outlined below.

 

Why are students only permitted in their own Dorms?

For the safety and well-being of all boarders, students are only permitted in their own dormitory areas. This approach helps to:

  • Keep students safe and appropriately supervised.

  • Protect students from situations that could lead to misunderstandings, allegations, or harm.

  • Maintain privacy and personal boundaries within sleeping and living areas.

  • Support staff in meeting duty of care and child‑safety obligations.

     

These boundaries are an important part of creating a secure, respectful boarding environment where students are protected and supported.
