Students recently had the opportunity to attend the Girls Emerging Leaders Day hosted by Cricket WA. This inspiring event brought together young female leaders to build confidence, develop teamwork skills, and explore leadership both on and off the field. Through engaging activities, collaboration, and mentoring, students were encouraged to step outside their comfort zones and recognise their potential as future leaders. It was a fantastic experience that empowered our students and strengthened their voice within the school and wider community.

🌈🚴♂️ Yesterday, our school welcomed Youth Focus as part of their Ride for Youth (Hawaiian Ride) visit. Youth Focus is a leading WA mental health organisation supporting the well-being of young people and their families.
🧠💛 Through this presentation, students learned about the importance of mental health, seeking help early, and supporting one another. We thank Youth Focus for sharing their important message and raising awareness about youth mental health and suicide prevention.

📏 Essential Maths in Action!
Today, our Essential Maths students explored the accuracy of measuring length and compared the metric and imperial systems. From estimating to precise measurement, students developed their skills in choosing appropriate units and tools for real-world situations. It was great to see students actively engaging, checking their accuracy, and building confidence in practical maths skills they can use every day!

📐 Hands-On Maths in Action! 📐
Our students kicked off their learning about cross-sections in prisms with an engaging and interactive lesson! They enjoyed a catchy song all about cross-sections (yes… maths with a beat! 🎵), before getting stuck into some hands-on learning using playdough. Students explored how different cuts—horizontal, vertical and diagonal—create different cross-sectional shapes within prisms. To wrap up, they transferred their understanding into their maths books by drawing and labelling different prism cross-sections, showing just how much they had learnt.
👏 What an enthusiastic bunch of learners!
💡 Hands-on learning really helps bring these concepts to life.
