Assistant Principal's Report

As the last week of term is nearly upon us, it never ceases to amaze me just how much happens within the Warrnambool College community. In the last seven days we have had;

  • Our Tall Poppies ceremony that recognises former Warrnambool College, Warrnambool High School and North Technical School graduates who have gone on to achieve great things in their working lives.
  • Year 7 Art-Design Exhibition – a marvellous event showcasing the amazing talents of our Year 7 students.
  • Hopkins Out of Uniform Day – all funds raised are to support a local charity – The Francis Foundation.
  • Arts Cup – inspiring to see the bravery of our students willing to perform in front of a capacity crowd.
  • SPP Basketball session with special guests such as Bobby Cunningham, Jay Rantall (Australian junior basketball squad member and Dan Lee (Assistant Principal) who captained their teams in an SPP shoot out tournament
  • SPP Netball – Sarah Wall conducting the final session of the term for our SPP Netball Squad
  • Numerous other class based excursions and activities that engage our students in the curriculum delivered at school

Positive Psychology in the Workplace.

This year we have been working on Positive Psychology at our school. There is a direct link between the way people feel and the way people perform in the workplace. People in a High Performing Workplace feel proud, optimistic, cheerful and valued. Through initiatives like Benefit Mindset, Mutual Respect and the 5:1 ratio we are aiming to increase wellbeing and happiness to ensure that everyone in the Warrnambool College community thrives.

 

LAST DAY OF TERM

Just a reminder that the final day of term, 21st September will finish at the earlier time of 2.30pm. We will still have a normal four period per day but the periods will be shorter to accommodate the earlier finish.

Have a great holiday break and as the weather is starting to ‘turn’ can we please ask families to ensure all students are coming to school in correct full summer uniform at the beginning of next term.
