School sport is an integral part of a child’s development. So many great lessons can be learnt from them participating as an individual or as a team member. The Athletics Carnival involve a mixture of individual and team events. Some of the events include sprints, relay races, long jump, high jump, tug-a-wars, etc.. By trying a variety of sports, students get the opportunity to see if they are gifted in any particular area – that they may not have known about or enjoyed before.
Apart from the physical benefits of sports carnivals there is also the comradery that is formed by being part of a House – the house colours, the war cries, the house mascots – this builds a feeling of team and community and a little friendly school rivalry!
The house results are as follows:
1st Place: Timae
2nd Place: Alethea
3rd Place: Carana
Congratulations to all students and staff.
The last week of school, Alethea ran a ‘winter week’ selling soups, mac n’ cheeses, milos and brownies. Donations went towards TEAR Australia, a very worthy cause! Thanks to our community of staff and students for their generous donations.
From seniors to juniors the secondary campus was alive with debates during homeroom today.
Debating is a sociable activity that develops valuable life skills. Supported by experienced coaches, students learn how to present and counter persuasive perspectives using structured, evidence-based arguments. Debating also offers opportunities to expand students’ world views. Successful debaters are well-informed, aware of current affairs, engaged with world events and able to articulate diverse perspectives on contemporary issues.
Pictured below are some of the juniors in action.
Homeroom service learning this week for TS1.
Service learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.
They paid a visit to the Early Learning Centre and the excited Year 2’s.
On Wednesday T2 homeroom went on a trip to provide a service to the environment. Students who participate in community-based service-learning enjoy a number of benefits. One benefit of service-learning is that young people are far more likely to remain engaged when they can see that their participation is effecting change. This helps them to realize that they are able to make useful contributions to society through service and social action.
This outing to improve our environment was headed by Mr Biddle and Ms Robert.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” – Peter 4:10
The House Cross Country took place today in perfect weather.
Cross country running is one of the disciplines under the umbrella sport of athletics, and is a natural terrain version of long-distance track and road running. The course, typically 4–12 kilometres long.
Well done to the winning house, Timae, and to everyone that took part!
