Year 10 Entrepreneurs
Our year 10 entrepreneur girls travelled to Young recently to 'soft-launch' their Hygi-Eco packs.
Designed to assist people who are struggling with cost of living pressures and homelessness, the girls created hygiene packs for women, men and children.
Our entrepreneurs, Delilah Cross, Lilah Manges, Mylee Taylor and Finlay Shore travelled to the Community Hub in Young to showcase what they have created so far. With a generous grant from Andrew Britton on behalf of the Office of Regional Youth, the girls have been able to create 30 packs so far.
They strive to continue going out into the community to receive further feedback to improve their packs. With plans to have an official event launch later this year.

Students in the Exploring Early Childhood class completed their Children and Literature unit of work. Students created their own piece of literature targeted at a specific age group. The each book had a specific a theme, characters and story line in order to teach the age group an important life lesson. As part of this unit of work students visited the Boorowa Family Day Care and Kindy library lesson to read their books. Well Done, Year 12

Stage 5 PASS
Students have begun their coaching unit for this term. In practical lessons, students are working in small groups to plan and deliver short skill sessions to their peers. As the term progress's students will be working on developing sessions for primary students to deliver as part of their assessment task. In theory lessons, PASS students have been researching prominent professional sporting coaches and researching the skills needed to be an effective coach at any level.
NAIDOC Day
This year’s NAIDOC Week theme allowed infant and primary students to listen to Dreamtime Stories and yarns, learn about Indigenous legends and dance as an eagle to a didgeridoo. Students listened to Adam Brigg’s book “Our Home, Our Heartbeat”, which is a celebration of past and present Indigenous legends, as well as emerging generations. The book honours the oldest continuous culture on Earth. Students were able to identify legends in their family and community.
Secondary students engaged in activities to learn about NAIDOC Week and its purpose. They learnt about Indigenous figures who have played a role in advancing the rights and recognition of their people.
