Our Year 9 students have travelled to camp under the stars at our Nanga site this Term. Through activities like hiking, a tree top high ropes course, river rafting, mountain bike riding and more, students were encouraged to challenge themselves as they become self-aware, responsible and resilient young adults.
We are delighted to announce that Harman Heer (Carramar Year 11) has taken out the top prize – the Golden Mesh Award – at the 2018 Mesh at Murdoch Awards for his stunning photography! As Harman is currently overseas, he pre-recorded his acceptance speech while Mrs Lesley Nation proudly accepted the award on his behalf.
Last night we reflected on a wonderful year for our Carramar Secondary students at their Presentation Evening. While celebrating student achievements across many learning areas, we farewelled our Class of 2018 together as they embark on their next chapter.
Last Thursday’s Hospitality Group Training WA Awards Evening saw success for Carramar student Naomi Velterop, who took out the award for the Most Outstanding School Based Apprentice of the Year! Naomi’s employer praised her work ethic, saying she has a natural ability in the kitchen and potential to go far in the industry. Congratulations!
The Collinson Library deck is looking even brighter than usual thanks to our creative Certificate II Visual Arts students! This collaborative project saw students measure, design and paint these scenic artworks over the course of this year.
Main Roads has released an update on the Wanneroo Road and Joondalup Drive Interchange project, which includes information relevant to pedestrian and cyclist access in the Carramar area. For more information please go to: https://project.mainroads.wa.gov.au/home/
Our teams continue to excel at each FIRST LEGO League competition – this time our two Carramar Teams have progressed to the Nationals! The Raging Comets, Galaxy Goats and Robotic Operating Buddies all performed well at yesterday’s State Finals. The Raging Comets and Galaxy Goats will now be heading to Macquarie University in New South Wales for December’s National Competition!
Tuesday morning saw the annual VET Induction morning, this year held at Duncraig campus, for all of the students embarking on External VET studies in 2019.
Students listened to Lewis Schofield (2017 graduate) and Megan Wright (2015 graduate) tell them all about where their qualifications have taken them since they left SSS.
Lewis is now working FIFO for BHP as an apprentice electrical mechanic and Megan has returned briefly from Scotland where she has been working in a stately home (using her Certificate II in Hospitality). While she is home, she is using her Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care as she does relief work in a childcare centre so that she can save some money before returning to the UK.
The value of a qualification earned at school was clear for all to see!
There’s just over a week to go until we celebrate our first Presentation Evening for 2018. Have you reserved your tickets yet?
