School Events
Maggie Dent Event
On Thursday 14 March, famous author and educator Maggie Dent visited our school to present a seminar for parents.
During the seminar, Maggie shared her insights, tips and common-sense wisdom from her book From Boys to Men: Guiding our teen boys to grow into happy healthy men.
Over 300 people attended this event which was held in the school gymnasium.
Athletics Carnival
On Tuesday 19 March, the school held its annual Athletics Carnival at Hay Park Athletics Track.
The sun was shining for a great day of events, House spirit and a strong school culture.
Although the day was slightly delayed, students participated with pride and represented their Houses.
This year the school introduced the new House mascots. Our school community worked in collaboration with our Aboriginal Advisory Council to create suggestions of noongar animal names to represent the school Houses. Our students then voted on which animal they would like to see represent their House. The winners were:
- Forrest Kalari (Lizards)
- Clifton Kwila (Sharks)
- Mitchell Maali (Swans)
- Wollaston Mamang (Whales)
These animals are native and local to the South West region.
Students and staff will be able to see the new House mascots displayed in our gym changeroom area on the wall.
Parent/Teacher Night
On Tuesday this week we hosted our Parent/teacher afternoon.
We had a great turnout with over 1690 bookings made.
The education of our students is a three way partnership between the student teacher and parents.
We really appreciate the engagement shown by parents to talk with staff about the education successes and needs for their children. Our staff are highly competent professionals who know their students well and know how students learn. They are regularly acknowledged for their outstanding results from NAPLAN, OLNA through to ATAR and VET certificate achievement.
