Service Learning in Alethea

March 3, 2017

This week students from Alethea’s Griffin’s Homeroom spent a pleasurable afternoon at Bethany Aged care in Kingsway.

The residents were delighted with our students.

 

Richard Brider Year 10 played the piano for them.

 

Joel Bullard  (Year 8), Kiara Dowdeswell and Billie Robson (Year 11 ) were beaten hands down at scrabble.

 

From the smiling faces a great afternoon was had by all.

Year 7 Ern Halliday Camp

February 27, 2017

The school camps are places where staff and students can step out of their usual environment and try some new learning activities.

Ern Halliday is a sanctuary in the suburbs.

It is a special place where Western Australians of all ages can participate in unique and exciting outdoor recreation activities within the Perth metropolitan area.

This exciting camping complex is located on the beach in the northern suburb of Hillarys. The complex has three large dormitory camps, a picnic and tent campsite and one of the largest range of adventure programs in WA.

Set in 28 hectares of natural bush, this camp really is your sanctuary in the suburbs.

Pictured below are some of the activities that students participated in.

 

“There is something very special about being away from your parents, sleeping under the stars, doing a vertical challenge and kayaking.”
