Term 2 is a very important one and includes a variety of activities, seminars and events across years 7- 12. Year 7 have just returned from their year 7 camp, Year 9 and Year 11 have had Incursions on Respectful Relationships and online choices, Year 10 are about to go off on Work Experience and Year 12 have had their last School Carnival, Year 8 and Year 9 will have the opportunity to hear from Derek Rabelo about resilience, faith and stepping outside of their comfort zone, and Year 11 have had several workshops around the importance of sleep to name a few.
Towards the end of this term we also have UNITE week and X-THACtor. One of the main aims of this week is to celebrate the diverse cultures and backgrounds at Thomas Hassall Anglican College. Celebrating diversity is a key part of building community and the Student Voice have been working hard in the background planning the various activities, decorations and events.
It provides an opportunity for students to be proud of their heritage and to know that the College values who they are and where they come from. Ultimately by holding this event every year we get to know each other more and more, creating a greater connection between us. UNITE week includes small activities and opportunities that enable students and staff to share something more of themselves and is finished with a great celebration of food, dance and ethnic costumes. Whilst the College is a mixture of cultures, we are all integrated under the principles of learning, wisdom and service in order to move forward not only by ourselves as we progress through the years, but as a College towards unity and excellence. If you have ideas on how you would like to see your culture represented and celebrated, encourage your child to attend the Student Voice meetings Week B Thursdays or speak with their Student Voice representatives.
During the UNITE week, we are also looking at relaunching some of the clubs students are passionate about.
