The celebration continued on Tuesday with Year 9 and 10 students, who indulged in an array of mouthwatering homemade pizzas crafted by the talented Mrs. Gibson. Each pizza was made with fresh ingredients, showcasing an assortment of flavors to please every palate.

YEAR 12 UniReady.
This term saw our Year 12 UniReady students embark upon an excursion to Perth as part of their study within the UniReady in Schools program. Our adventure to the Curtin Bentley campus gave Zac, Roxane, and Leila the chance to view the university, meet other students engaged in the UniReady program, and experience the world of Curtin students.
After an early morning start, we arrived at the lush gardens of Curtin ready to explore the beautiful campus. We were welcomed into a lecture theatre to meet other schools and prepare for a race around the campus. Our students completed a quick quiz with the help of their course manual, then set off on a mission to track down key spots on campus. We quickly were sidetracked by the seven-story library with a Makerspace complete with 3D printer and film studio, treetop view, and sleeping pods!
Our afternoon was spent immersing ourselves in directed activities from the disciplines of Humanities and Science & Engineering. Our students grappled with ethical questions and engaged in the design process to develop technology to support superheroes and then tested their skills with mathematical code-breaking. Venturing into these buildings gave our students a valuable opportunity to see the daily work within different classes and consider what major they may wish to pursue.
Hearing from student ambassadors was another highlight of the day, which gave the three KSHS students a clearer picture of different university paths. Once again, it was reinforced to our Year 12s that the opportunities available at Curtin are both exciting and accessible. Zac, Roxane, and Leila were excellent representatives of our school as they engaged maturely and thoughtfully with all university staff and students.
Thank you to our Careers Practitioner Xylina King for assisting in supervision on this excursion and making the drive to Perth and back in a day!

From the arts and sporting pathways to traditional schooling, apprenticeships, and hands-on learning, YAL Connect champions the idea that education is not one-size-fits-all. Every student’s path is different, and YAL is here to help make those paths possible.
