Salvation Army Immersion Tour with the Year 7’s
September 6, 2018
Recently some Year 7 students went on an excursion to show them how perilous the life of a homeless person can be.
Immersion programs are unique learning experiences that encourage active citizenship via an experiential learning model. The learning is so profound that it aids students in understanding what it means to be part of the human community mindful of the journey of others, especially the most vulnerable.
The excursion started at Greenwood train station and took them to Wellington Square. There guide for the day was Darren.
Below is a short video made by the students.
Dynamic Duo
July 25, 2018Our students never cease to amaze us with their unique sporting skills!
Tahlia Papworth (Year 7) has placed second in the Open Women’s Canicross Competition, while her brother Jayden (Year 9) placed fifth in the Open Men’s Competition.
Canicross is a long-distance running sport requiring a little more skill than a typical cross country race, as each participant is harnessed to a running partner – a dog!
Congratulations to the dynamic duos.
