2022 School Leaders
On Monday, we had our potential Year 6 Leadership candidates deliver their speeches to the staff and students in Years 3 to 6. It was great to see the candidates delivery their own unique speech, articulating their strong personal qualities that would encourage the wider audience to nominate them for a Leadership position in 2022.
I thank and congratulate all of the Year 5 Leadership candidate students for their efforts and courage, not only to stand in front a large audience and speak so confidently about themselves, but also for nominating themselves to potentially take a Leadership role in the 2022 school year.
The Leadership candidates have placed their promotional posters on the windows of the Steve Dowie Hall, for all to see. The outcome of the Leadership appointment process will be shared at the Christmas Concert.
Year 6 Rottnest Camp
Last week we were truly blessed with great weather which enabled the Year 6 students to fully participate and enjoy all of the activities at the Rottnest camp. Unfortunately, for some students their Rottnest camp was cut short due to illness, but for the majority of students, they got to enjoy 4 days of participating in events and activities including the jet boat ride, the ‘Amazing Race’, touring Oliver Hill, playing mini-golf, snorkelling at ‘The Basin’, and much more.
All of the students are to be commended for their fantastic participation and behaviour on camp. It was very pleasing to see all of them enjoying what Rottnest had to offer and try new and exciting things.
A very special thank you goes to all staff who attended the Rottnest camp. Their tireless efforts and special care in ensuring all students remained safe and happy throughout the 4 days was greatly appreciated.
