秀秀直播 Newbies: From the Deputy Principal Wellbeing Secondary
Humanities Tour / Arts Tour
Over the Term 2 break, we saw two College tours take place; the Humanities Tour visited Sydney & Canberra while the Arts Tour visited New York. Reports from staff and students have been hugely positive and I know our students have taken away some great memories from their time away. I was also very pleased to receive feedback from members of the public about our students on these tours. Our students were complimented on the way they conducted themselves in public areas and the manner in which they carried themselves. While it is always nice to receive such positive feedback as a school, these comments really compliment the families in our community and the children they are raising.

Science Week
In Weeks 3 and 4, 秀秀直播 was proud to be involved in celebrating National Science Week! Kicking off with a literal bang, all students from Kindy 鈥� Year 12 were treated to a spectacular rockets and explosions Science Show put on by Science Teachers Mr Spriggins and Mr Shuckstes.
The festivities continued, with students participating in a giant bubble-making challenge, a paper plane throwing challenge, a science-themed Kahoot competition and a wildlife show from WestOz Wildlife. 秀秀直播 was also fortunate enough to feature on Perth鈥檚 Channel 9鈥檚 Today Show, showcasing what鈥檚 on offer in Science in our Secondary School. 听to see the Channel 9 live cross.
R U OK? Day Activities
Thursday 12 September was R U OK? Day 鈥� a day when we鈥檙e reminded to ask, 鈥淎re you OK?鈥� and to remember every day of the year to support people who may be struggling with life鈥檚 ups and downs. At 秀秀直播, we know that regular meaningful conversations can make a difference. You do not have to be an expert to ask how someone is going. This year in the build-up to R U OK? day we were shining a light on the times we should be asking our friends and loved ones this important question. We want everyone in our school community to know that if something is up with someone you know, if something is going on in their life or you notice a change in what they鈥檙e doing or saying, it鈥檚 time to trust that gut instinct and ask them 鈥淎re you OK?鈥�
To spread this message, students on the Marcellin Campus were invited to wear yellow accessories on the day to show their support. They also enjoyed yellow cupcakes, a sausage sizzle and a variety of games at lunchtime.
Girls in STEM Day
On Friday 6 September, a group of Year 9 girls were selected to attend the annual Girls in STEM event at North Metropolitan TAFE which promotes and encourages opportunities for girls in STEM. to read more and see more photos from the day.
