Korumburra Secondary School NEWS
It has been a great start to the year at Korumburra Secondary College.
Students have engaged in a variety of learning opportunities both in and beyond the classroom.
In the Scientific field, Questacon came and ran a series of hands on activities through their road show, STEM Sisters promoted Science for Young women through a series of off campus workshops and BrainSTEM engaged many of our female learners with community scientists to work towards a real world challenge.
Sport has also been a key feature beyond the classroom with our Swimming and Athletic sports taking place. We have gone on to have great success in the pool with some dynamic efforts from a range of young people in a variety of sporting disciplines on the field and in the pool.
Inter school sport promoted Cricket and Volleyball – and to support the success of our teams, these sports were a core focus in the PE program for term one.
This year we launched our Like Minds program, a class of select 7-9 students who demonstrate a high level of learner dispositions based on our college values Respect, Resilience, Life Long Learner, Productive Member of the Community and Strive for Excellence. As part of the shared learning, this group of students has coordinated the catering for the opening of our new STEAM building at the college and is currently working with our Sport Coordinator to design ‘School Run’ an initiative to get more students engaging in physical activity on our school grounds whilst socialising with peers and taking a mental break from the hustle and bustle of the school day. This work has connected with the Maths, Science and PE learning outcomes and we look forward to its launch in Term 2.
The new STEAM building has been a great success with our Technology, Arts, Science and Year 12 students all embracing what this 21st Century learning facility has to offer. Next term, Burra Foods will be running workshops with our Year 7 and 9 students focussing on Separation and Mixtures in Industry as well as the impact of contamination in an environment.
Preparations are well underway for our Grade 5/6 Information Night that will be on Tuesday May 1st, 2018. We invite all families from the local area to come along, take a tour and discover what new and exciting about Korumburra Secondary College for 2018 and beyond.
It has been a busy and successful term for students, staff and families of Korumburra Secondary College, and we look forward to what Term 2 brings to enhance our learning even further.
