Middle School Report
Bibbulmun Challenge
We are now in the middle of our Bibbulmun Challenge for another year. We have had a number of staff make their first journey and seem to have come through okay. I want to congratulate all of the students and staff who made the journey this year. It is without doubt a wonderful initiative and I know students refer to it as they move through Middle School, reminding them about how they felt on that day and how they overcame any problems and especially when they reflect upon life as Kalamunda students in Year 12. I especially want to thank our school Chaplain Desi, our amazing Year 8 Coordinator Alana Stanbrook and Teegan Smith for their hard work and countless steps they have made in helping to supervise this. Once again we gave the mentor classes the added task of compiling a photographic display of the day and they will be working with their mentor teachers to compile a presentation that represents our 5 School Values and how they related to the day. These presentations will be judged by an independent panel that no mentor teachers will be a part of (in order to maintain impartiality) as the best presentation will receive a breakfast for their mentor that will be cooked by myself and Alana Stanbrook.

E-Safety and Online news
If you are looking for some assistance with on-line and being “E-Safe” there is a new app from the Telethon Kid’s Institute that could prove to be very useful. It is called Beacon and would be worth a look.
