Year 12 Interview Skills Workshop 👔

Today, our Year 12 English students participated in an Interview Skills Workshop facilitated by Jake from ATC Work Smart.

As part of their Careers Units, students are preparing for an in-person interview and a video job application assessment. They learned how to prepare for interviews, structure responses using the SAO (Situation, Action, Outcome) format, and present themselves professionally. Students then put these skills into practice through role-playing activities, taking turns as interviewers and interviewees.

The workshop was a valuable opportunity to build confidence and develop skills that will support students in their assessments and future employment pathways.

Thank you to Mrs King (Careers Coordinator) and Jake for making this opportunity possible, and well done to our Year 12s for their fantastic participation and engagement throughout the session.

🏰⚔️ Year 8.1 HASS Takes on Medieval Siege Warfare! ⚔️🏰

Our collaborative learning period in Year 8.1 HASS challenged students to become medieval castle designers! Using plasticine, pipe cleaners and pom poms, each team could select two special building materials from a range including cardboard, egg cartons, pop sticks, paper bowls and bubble wrap to construct a castle capable of withstanding siege warfare.

This hands-on activity put students' knowledge of medieval history to the test, with teams incorporating key castle features we have been exploring this term, including moats, battlements, working drawbridges and arrow slits. One impressive group even created a highly detailed portcullis!

After a frantic building phase, it was time for the ultimate challenge: facing Ms Tonga's formidable siege weapons. Castles were tested against siege ladders, pelted by a trebuchet and, if they survived, subjected to the power of a pencil battering ram. One creative team surprised everyone by revealing a hidden second castle, demonstrating an excellent understanding of concentric castle design!

All teams did an outstanding job explaining and defending their fortification choices. There were some valuable lessons learned too, with one group admitting that wooden walls may not have been the wisest choice during a medieval siege! 😊

Well done to all our budding castle architects and defe🏰⚔️ Yet🏰⚔️ Year 8.1 HASS Taka🏰⚔️ Year v🏰⚔️ Year 8.1 HAve🏰⚔️ Year r#FutureThinkersreThinkers 🏰⚔️📚 ... See MoreSee Less

Careers Excursion: Cyber Security at the West Australian Science and Space Education Centre
Recently, our students travelled to Perth to participate in the Cyber Bootcamp: Think, Defend, Secure program at the West Australian Science and Space Education Centre (WASSEC).
Throughout the full-day immersive experience, students stepped into the world of cyber security within the defence industry, working collaboratively to solve a realistic, industry-based cyber security challenge. Using problem-solving, communication and teamwork skills, students worked through scenario-based activities in a dedicated cyber security learning environment.
Students were introduced to key cyber security concepts and explored real-world case studies, gaining insight into the roles of Blue Teams and Red Teams in ethical hacking and digital defence. They learned how cyber professionals work together to identify threats, protect sensitive information, and secure critical systems for clients and organisations.
The experience provided valuable exposure to the rapidly growing fields of cyber security, defence, and technology, while also highlighting the importance of collaboration, communication, and critical thinking in solving complex challenges.
A huge thank you to the team at WASSEC for delivering such an engaging and inspiring program and helping our students explore exciting future career pathways.
