Rise to the challenge with Bush Ranger Cadets
The mission of the Bush Ranger Cadet program is to support young Western Australians to take an active and lead role in the conservation of the natural environment and to understand the mechanisms for its management.
Developing creativity and critical thinking through STEM
Lower school students have one lesson a week in the STEM room where they develop their capabilities in critical and creative thinking as they learn to: generate and evaluate knowledge, clarify concepts and ideas, seek possibilities, consider alternatives, and solve problems.

Bush Ranger Cadet Camp
Last weekend the Bush Rangers competed in the Australasian Rogaining Championships, which involves working in teams to navigate through the bush and find controls, using just a map and compass. All the students showed great Perseverance over long distances and Respect for each other. Congratulations to the Cadet Division Winners: Zulfiqar, Tamim and Joe, and to Zavier and Ella who came 2nd in the Family division.

Spirit Day 2024 was a resounding success. Students and staff enjoyed a fabulous afternoon participating in a variety of fun-filled activities whilst modelling our school values of Respect, Achievement, Perseverance and Tolerance.
Awesome effort by Sarah Watson always goes above and Beyond.
A group of volunteers have been busily preparing for R U OK? Day tomorrow.
Staff and students are asked to wear yellow tomorrow, to show their support (no jeans).
This day is dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and encouraging meaningful conversations among students, staff, and the broader community. R U OK? Day serves as a reminder that a simple question can make a significant difference in someone’s life.
This week, our Year 12 UniReady students visited Curtin University as a part of their study in the UniReady course. This is a high-level academic program co-taught with Curtin University, which enables students to gain university admission.
The students viewed presentations from Curtin staff and met current students who answered all their questions about life at university. They also had the opportunity to see other students from schools across WA who also offer UniReady.
Next, they raced around the huge and vibrant campus in the "Race around campus" activity, where students had to solve a series of questions and find different landmarks.
The day ended with faculty activities where our students engaged with activities from Health Sciences, Humanities, and Science, including the design of gear for superheroes and the programming of a robot!
Well done chauffeur Mitch 👏 Davina Davies
