Today, students attended a multimedia theatre presentation through the Constable Care Foundation.
The No Offence multimedia theatre presentation is a film that looks at the real experiences of Australian students, exploring how people of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds can experience racism, bullying, and microaggressions. This thought-provoking and impactful incursion, which actively engages students, encourages them to examine diverse perspectives and develop their own empathy and appreciation of cultural diversity in their communities. The program is delivered by a team of skilled and experienced Western Australian actors and facilitators.

COUNTRY WEEK 2024
It has been a massive three days for our squad, with all four teams battling it out against some fierce competition.
The Boy's Soccer team started with an inspiring comeback from 2 nil down to draw with Newton Moore Senior High School in their first game. Then, to finish Day 3, the boys pulled off a thrilling 3-0 victory against WACOA Denmark. There have been many highlights, including six goals for Chayce McKenzie so far! The team currently sits at 2nd on the ladder.
The Girls' Volleyball team has been busy, winning five out of seven games played so far! This included an impressive three-set win over Grace Christian School on Tuesday. The girls are working exceptionally well as a team and currently sit second on the ladder only by percentage.
The Boy's Basketball team have played well together for a newly formed team coming up against Merredin, WACOA Denmark and Bunbury Baptist College so far. Despite their best efforts so far, the boys have fallen short and will be searching for a win on Day 4.
The Girls' Netball team has shown its skills on the court in four games. They had strong wins against Pinjarra and Bethel Christian School and came extremely close in two matches decided by less than 10 points. The girls currently sit at 4th on the ladder in a tight division, playing 3rd and 5th in games on Thursday.

Katanning Netball Association
Reconciliation Week at Katanning Senior High School was a vibrant and engaging event that brought students together through creative activities such as face painting and a colouring competition. These activities provided a fun and interactive way for students to foster a sense of community and understanding of the importance of reconciliation. The event highlighted the school's commitment to promoting cultural awareness and unity among its students.
Students showcased their artistic talents and creativity, and the results were impressive. Karley D'Souza, Katie McGrath, and Caroline Bouffler were the winners of the competition.
This week, the Student Leaders are running Tug-of-war competitions at lunchtime. Yesterday, Condeena and Strathglen won two matches each and Barloo and Glenroy won one match each. Houses earn 50 points per winning match. The boys also beat the girls two matches out of three. The games will continue on Wednesday and Friday.
As a part of the Year 9 Career Taster Program, KSHS held a Mindflight7 incursion. Using cutting-edge virtual reality technology, students were able to immerse themselves in career exploration and try their hand at various workplace skills such as forklift driving, working in confined spaces, hairdressing, scuba diving as a marine biologist and even heart surgery! Mindflight7 encourages students to start thinking about potential careers that align with their interests and the pathways they need to take to attain their dream job. The presenters challenged the students to step out of their comfort zone and develop new skills and interests.
Awesome!
That is awesome. 🤩
How fabulous!
Year 11 & 12 Children Family & the Community students created care packages as an assessment task for Katanning Regional Emergency Accommodation Centre (KREAC) to help those in need. KREAC is a local support service that provides food and accommodation to homeless & victims of domestic violence. The care package contained two types of muffins (lemon drizzle cupcakes and cheese & onion muffins) and two types of biscuits (Choc chip cookies & ANZAC cookies) to show support to locals. Ms Ani Tai & Ms Donna Kemp were guest speakers to our students two weeks ago; they discussed the services KREAC provides for the community. The students enjoyed their speech and had lots of questions. Ms Donna Kemp and Ms Sheralee Buss visited the school on Friday, 24 May 2024, to receive the care packages produced by our thoughtful students.
Well done, CFC team!
