That’s a wrap from Term 2! As always, our College community has been immersed in many activities and celebrations.
We are proud to announce the first stage completion of our Aboriginal Cultural Learning Centre with the centrepiece, a Yarning Circle. Through discussions with our Elders and significant Aboriginal stakeholders, an amazing cultural learning area is now ready for our students.
NAIDOC Week was the perfect opportunity to have a first look and photo opportunity. A big thank-you to our Elders, Mr and Mrs Eades and our stakeholders who supported us; to Vice Principal Katie Edwards, Administration Officer Caroline Griffiths and Follow the Dream coordinator, Dr Jennet Hansen for getting the project to this point.
Our students have been busy exploring their futures in a range of environments including workplace learning; Wardiny Bidi with guest speakers from our partners Komatsu and Cummins; and, excursions to Curtin University – English Literature Conference, UniReady tour and the RACI Chemistry Titration Competition.
Students and staff were kept busy this term, with OLNA, ESTs and Exams on top of their individual course assessments. I appreciate everyone’s commitment to the academic progress of our student cohort.
Our classrooms are as vibrant as ever offering wonderful opportunities for students to expand their learning with many authentic tasks.
Our sporting teams continue to enjoy representing the College in soccer and volleyball and have been great ambassadors and representatives of Sevenoaks.
Our Student Services team presented a wonderful week of Wellbeing activities which students readily engaged with to make sure that we keep healthy during these winter months.
Thank you to you our parents and caregivers who continue to support our students and for those of you who were able to come to our recent parent night. I hope you enjoyed the opportunity to look at our Art, Woodwork, Metals and Textiles students’ impressive work, which was proudly displayed in the foyer. A reminder that teachers are available at any time to discuss your child’s progress. Appointments can be made at the front office.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our wonderful Sevenoaks community. Enjoy the break and I look forward to welcoming you back for Term 3 on Monday July 21st.
