Year 10 have had a very busy first term. Not only have they embarked on the senior years of their schooling but they have taken on the challenges of their new 100 hour electives.

There are often groups of students walking around the school cameras in hand taking in what they see through a lense. The images that the Photographic and Digital Media classes are producing are amazing and the students should be proud of their work.

The Marine and Aquaculture classes have had a number of lessons where they have been snorkeling and immersing themselves in the underwater environment.

Students have also continued on from Year 9 with their main elective courses. The Agriculture classes are currently looking after the very cute, newborn baby goats which have created great interest with many of the students.

Last week saw the PASS students participate in the final assessment for their Bronze Life Saving Certificate. So many positive comments have been made about how the students behaved and participated on the day. This qualification will be a valuable asset to the students.

Harmony Day was celebrated last week and many of the Year 10 PALS classes decorated their PALS room doors. The themes highlighted the importance of Harmony in our school as well as in the wider society. It was evident that Year 10 are very passionate about the role Harmony Day plays in our school community.

Our Pastoral Focus lesson 2 weeks ago had a serious theme. Vaping has become a concerning issue within the community. We as a school felt the need to address this issue through educating our students on what Vaping is and the dangers associated with it.
