Subject selections are well under-way and I know that all students are thinking really deeply about what the next couple of years will look like! I know the selection process has invigorated a more positive approach to learning for many of you and it has been noted by your teachers! It is great to see students taking an active interest in their future and considering their options carefully. It’s important to choose subjects you are passionate about and that align with your goals. We are so lucky at Kalamunda SHS to get such a variety of choices!

Quick reminder to keep your phones “off and away all day”. Your phones are designed to get your attention (have you seen that movie “The Social Network”? you should if you haven’t), so the safest way to keep them from attracting your attention is to have them turned off and put in your school bag. Also, as a teacher, I find it really hard to be as interesting as the entire internet – it is too hard to compete! So please, don’t make me.

Don’t forget to start training for the Cross Country that is coming up this term. I’ve spoken to Mr Watson about a Year 10 Coordinator Division – he said if I really want to join, I will have to race against the Year 10s. I’m thinking about it.

Enjoy Term 3!
