SENIOR SCHOOL
It was great to catch up with some of the students from the Class of 2022 late February. This was a new initiative which allowed staff and past students to catch-up and see what they had planned for 2023. We thank all the students who attended and the staff who came along to support it.
Year 12 students had their first dress-up day, with the theme “What I want to be when I’m older”. All students got into the spirit of the theme. We saw lots of medical scrubs, teachers and mums!
The Year 11 students were treated to an incursion from the Pat Cronin Foundation. The speaker spoke about physical assaults and the importance of looking out for each other. This was a very powerful and thought-provoking session and I commend the students for their respect they showed throughout the presentation.
The VCE-VM classes are working well. They are implementing a garden project at year 11, which will help to visually improve some of the spaces around the school. The Year 12 class has been out on excursions for Work Related Skills and looking at hazards in different environments.
Year 11 and 12 VCE students will be finding that SACs are occurring frequently. This can be a stressful time for them. I continue to remind them that being consistent is key! If you find your child’s stress levels are rising, here is some advice from Beyond Blue www.beyondblu.org.au
- Tell someone you are stressed
- Exercise regularly
- Take control of your workload
- Incorporate breathing and relaxation techniques into every day
- Eat healthy foods
