It was wonderful to speak with so many families at the recent Subject Selection evening. The new format and an opportunity to speak with staff in the John Flynn building was very well received. Students and families spoke very positively about the Morrisby reports which provided some additional guidance and information to help with the process. The Careers Expo the following day was an absolute hit. With informative sessions about several careers paths and with major universities, the police and defence forces represented, along with aviation industry companies and alumni who were able to answer questions about Physiotherapy, Nursing, Nida, Law and other pathways that had experienced, there was a wealth of information of our senior students to utilise. Many thanks must go to Mrs Ghabrial, Mr Corbett Jones and Ms Munro for all the effort and expertise in putting these elements together to aid students and families with the subject selection process.
I have had the pleasure of regularly touring classes with Mrs Long recently and we have seen some wonderfully creative and informative learning experiences going on in classrooms across the College. We stumbled into a cocktail party with Year 11 Music who were listening and providing important feedback to their peers on their most recent composition. We have seen Senior VET students completing competencies as they march towards certification, Senior Chemistry students in the midst of practical lessons involving siphoning off gases to perform tests on Lime water, Junior scientists learning the important classifications of rare species, language classes perfecting pronunciations, Commerce classes learning the art of political campaigning…and the list goes on. So many excellent opportunities in which to further their learning in state of the art classrooms. I hope that they come home and tell you about some of the new facts or techniques they have learned.
Stay dry and safe!
