Our Living Well program for Semester 2 is well and truly up and running. Each Friday, the Dean of Year organises a specific learning experience tailored towards achieving the outcomes of their year group theme.
Year 7 have begun Peer Support with the Year 10s, our Year 11s are continuing on with community and leadership development. Year 8s will develop communication techniques, whilst the Year 9s progress with their Story and Challenge program. Our Year 12s will finalise their Living Well journey with the continuation of their gratitude and legacy program.
Furthermore, numerous Living Well activities and opportunities take place in our weekly timetable available to all students in Year 7 to 12.

Please keep an eye out for upcoming parent events this semester.
With travel restrictions in WA continuing, a number of planned parent nights with interstate guest speakers have been put on hold for 2020. We are currently in discussion with Paul Dillon regarding offering an online Zoom interactive parent night. Planning is in the final stages and will be communicated shortly.
In the meantime, School TV will continue to offer up to date articles and tips. Please continue to view our College School TV for parenting support and advice.
