On Friday, 11th November 2016, Year 3 to 12 students at Carramar gathered together to mark Remembrance Day. The service led by some of the Year 11 History Students, with participation by some Year 3 students and the school choir, remembered the sacrifices shown by Australian soldiers in World War One and all conflicts since that date. Poems, bible readings, prayers and a commemorative address were used to highlight the importance of Remembrance Day and the reason why we need to stop in order to think about servicemen and women who have paid the ultimate price for our rights and freedoms. The service also incorporated the traditional Last Post, Minutes Silence and Rouse. Lest We Forget.

This was again a successful and fun day for the new students starting Year 7 in 2017.
Highlights are always the fun and games on the oval and the BBQ lunch. A big thankful to both the staff and Hi-Mates who helped the day run so smooth. The school community is looking forward to working with these students next year, and pray they get a safe, restful and fun break. Remember the final orientation is January 27th – See you then Year 6’s!
Design and Technology Safety Induction Day – held 21st October.
Another successful and engaging learning experience for students studying MDT wood, metal or engineering in 2017. The Design and Technology department takes safety seriously, in doing so it is a requirement that all upper school students attend this day and refine and engage with safe workshops knowledge and skills. The day is based on industry standards and was enjoyed by all, highlights including testing P.P.E and fire safety training. It is our hope that the young men and woman in this area gain skills to make fine projects and safe attitudes towards looking after one another.

I’d like to introduce myself as a Digital Learning Mentor (DLM) for Carramar Secondary. I am located in the Library next to the IT Helpdesk.
