Year 10 2020 Snorkelling/Aspiration Camp & Work Experience

21 Oct 2019

Thank you for replying to the survey of interest in Work Experience for our Year 10’s in Perth and locally for next year.  Most parents are in favour of having this experience for their son or daughter.  I was keen to do this in Term 1 2020 however we also run the Snorkelling/Aspirational Camp at this time and we will be going to Perth for this as well.  This will mean quite a high cost for parents, Snorkelling/Aspirational Camp last year was $300 and a week in Perth on Work Experience is going to be at least $450.  I will be approaching the P&C for support for Work Experience and fund raising may also help bring the cost down if we were to go ahead.  There would be an option for students to do Work Experience in Boyup if the cost was prohibitive for families.   I need you to get back to me urgently by Friday 25 October to say which of the options you would prefer.  The Snorkelling/Aspirational Camp will include University visits and other career visits in Perth and was a positive experience for our students last year.  

One other option is to have parents drop the Year 10’s in Perth on Sunday 29th March most likely at the City Stay Apartments in Wellington St.  They will complete Work Experience in their area of choice on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  On Thursday morning Year 10’s will travel to Fremantle to catch the Rottnest ferry joining the Year 8 and 9’s who will be visiting Murdoch University on Wednesday afternoon, staing in Fremantle overnight. Thursday to Friday lunch time will be the Snorkelling Camp in Rottnest. Returning to school Friday evening. This proposal will mean the Year 10’s will miss going to Murdoch University.

Country Week 2019/2020

17 Oct 2019

We have again had a very successful Countryweek with three of the teams taking out the Sportsmanship award and some very good results from our teams, all being very competitive throughout the week.  Student behaviour was excellent throughout the week and the staff were proud of our students and the way they performed.

We have at our Wednesday meeting held a debrief on Countryweek on what worked well and areas that could be improved upon.  The following recommendations will be put in place for 2020:

• Mobile phone use will be limited.  Students will not be able to take their phones to the playing venues and there will be restricted use on returning to Karrinyup Waters Resort. 
• We will look at changing up the night time activities so each year there will be different activities.
• On the two nights that students are given the $15 to buy a meal we will put in place strategies to ensure that the money is spent on a nutritional meal.
• We will be asking parents not to allow students to bring sugar based products to Countryweek and will be limiting as much as possible students buying these products while on Countryweek.

While none of the above recommendations were in any way a major issue for us we believe that by putting them in place it will make for an even better week for our students.
