Year 12 Valedictory

From Deputy Principal

Block, report and support to prevent cyberbullying

It is important young people know they are not alone if they experience cyberbullying.

The Department has launched animations to encourage young people to block content, report it, and support each other if they see or experience bullying online.

Primary students can find out how bullying in gaming and sharing mean content can impact others and what actions they can take.

Secondary students can explore the impact of sharing intimate photos and negative anonymous accounts.

Students are not alone and there are ways to prevent cyberbullying. Share the videos with your students and start the conversation today.

Year 10 Camp Emu Gully

Sixteen Year 10 students attended the Emu Gully Camp this week with many returning tired but with fantastic memories that will stay with them for a lifetime. Mr Basile and Miss Embrey have had only positive stories about the behaviour and effort of our students while away. They were impressed with the student’s growth over the week as they learnt to care for each other, listen to each other and work as a team. This camp teaches students through ANZAC stories and activities where the instructor not only tells them what to do but also debriefs with what they all learnt from the activities. The camp focuses on mateship, courage, resilience and respect.

Year 6 Transition

On Wednesday Year 6 students from St Patricks School, St George State Primary School and Thallon State School attended a full day at High School. The students participated in a normal high school day experiencing different subjects, getting used to bells, lunch breaks and different teachers and staff.
