Staff vs Students Soccer Game

In the final week of Term 1, the annual Year 12 vs Teacher soccer game occurred and once again, it produced a classic. The students started favourites, but the staff were relying on heart and experience to get them over the line. The students started well, and their skills proved too much for the staff as they took a 5-1 lead into half time. Yet, the aforementioned heart and determination of the staff came to the fore and they scored five goals in five minutes to take an unexpected 6-5 lead. The students were able to score one more goal just as the bell for the end of lunch resulting in a highly entertaining 6-6 draw.

Thank you to all staff and students involved with the game that was played with respect and enjoyment from both sides.

Celebrating Harmony Week: Embracing Diversity and Student Wellbeing

Harmony Week is a special time for us to come together and celebrate Australia’s rich cultural diversity. It is about fostering a sense of inclusiveness, respect, and belonging for everyone. As a school community, we are committed to creating an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and accepted.

Australia is home to people from over 300 different cultural backgrounds, making it one of the most diverse countries in the world. Harmony Week reminds us that this diversity is a strength - it shapes our communities and enriches our school. When we take the time to learn about and appreciate different cultures, we build a more inclusive and supportive environment where all students can feel safe and thrive.

When students feel included and respected, their confidence grows, their engagement in learning improves, and they build stronger social connections. Research shows that schools that embrace diversity and inclusivity see lower rates of bullying and discrimination, creating a more positive and supportive learning environment for everyone.

How Parents Can Get Involved

Parents play a vital role in helping children develop an appreciation for diversity. Here are some ways to support Harmony Week at home:

· Have conversations about different cultures and traditions.

· Encourage your child to share their own cultural background and learn about others.

· Model respect and inclusivity in everyday interactions.

A Message to Our Families

At our school, we believe that every student should feel a strong sense of belonging. Harmony Week is an opportunity for us to reaffirm our commitment to respect, inclusion, and student wellbeing. Thank you for supporting this initiative and for helping us create a school community where everyone is valued.

We look forward to celebrating Harmony Week together!
