Special Programs for 2023 School Visits
Very soon I will be starting to attend some of our local primary schools and speak to the Year 6 students about our Special Programs. Please note that the closing date for these applications is Monday 5 May so if you know someone who may be interested in applying for one of them, then please direct them to our website for more information.
Student Planner
As a reminder, can you please ensure that your students have their Student Diary and are using it. A great way to check is to write a note in it and have them get the teachers to sign it. This is a great communication tool and also helps to develop those planning skills which are becoming more vital in an ever changing employment market.
Cybersafety
I have been fielding some questions on Cybersafety lately so I want to remind you about the Office of E-safety . This is a wonderful resource for all ages and discusses very real examples of how to keep your child safe in an Online world.
Year 8 Bibbulmun Challenge
Our tradition of taking our Year 8s out into the wonderful community and seeing what is just at our back door. We take each Year 8 mentor class about 11km (by bus) from Kalamunda and we then pick up the Bibbulmun Track and walk back to school. It is a great day that really builds resilience and a wonderful sense of accomplishment. I have attached the timetable below and notes will come out about 2 weeks prior to the day.
