Welcome to Semester 2! We hope that students are ready and prepared for a busy term ahead.
School for Student Leadership
As mentioned in the previous newsletter, five of our Year 9 students will depart for the School for Leadership camp next week. This is an exciting term long program where students will engage in a variety of activities and reside offside at one of the camp bases for nine weeks.
The curriculum offered at the School for Student Leadership focuses on personal development and team learning projects sourced from students’ home regions, particularly in the areas of self-awareness, social engagement, community connection and environmental stewardship. We hope our students will find this program rewarding and apply the skills learnt in both their academic and personal journeys.
Sexual Health Victoria
Our Year 9 students will be continuing their work with Sexual Health Victoria during their Personal Development sessions this term. The topics students will be focusing on healthy and unhealthy relationships and the importance of consent. These topics will be further supported through the Health and Physical Education curriculum.
