Partnerships

This was evident in ...

• the thoughtful School Assembly presentation to mark Anzac Day. The awareness of an understanding of Australia’s role in World War I and the significance of Gallipoli and Anzac Day is an important perspective for students to connect with Australians who have been affected by war. A Photostory presentation of images, backed by Eric Bogle’s And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda was prepared by Sue Patterson.

• the donation of more than $1000 to charities after very successful Small Business Activities undertaken by the students in the Unit 1 and 2 Business Management class. A variety of small businesses were undertaken and the girls were able to make connections with students outside their own classrooms by providing an interesting range of products and services. Donations to the chosen charities provided a further connection to the community. 
  

Justicecountry

One of the highlights of the year was the simulation activity, Justicecountry, which was offered to Year 11 girls who expressed a particular interest in social justice and leadership. Mr Leo Keegan who facilitated the day-long activity, pointed out to the girls in his introductory presentation that social justice is an integral part of the school’s philosophy. This connects students philosophically with society as they are encouraged during the activity to consider social justice and to 'Be the change you want to see in the world'. (Gandhi)
