There's been plenty of interesting things going on in the digital environment lately, we've heard a lot about the Musical.ly app and of course, Pokémon Go has absolutely exploded into popularity.

Brett Lee from INESS has made a video highlighting some interesting points on Musical.ly which you can view here. This may be of interest to parents.

Thanks to Angie Virdis from Uniting Care Community

Thank you Angie for talking to our Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12 students this month about Addictions and dangers of pornography.

Thank you very much Angie.
We appreciate your presentation on this topic.

We understand this is a controversial topic to present to students, however with the internet making these sites so easily accessed by students of today compared to years ago, and with some students encouraging others to look at these sites, it is important to educate our students with a trained knowledgable person doing the presentation.

I have had parents let me know that their sons are accessing these sites, so I am aware it is happening. I know some students have accessed these sites and have also made a conscious decision to stop doing it.

Angie discussed that looking at pornography has a large number of negatives for a impressionable growing student. She discussed this behaviour can soon become an addictive behaviour which can affect all parts of someones life.

Please feel free to open the lines of communication with your children because of this talk. It is not an easy topic to discuss but it is important to know the negatives of this kind of behaviour.

With the internet making these sites so easy to access, it is important we try and educate our students about the dangers of this type of behaviour.

Thanks for your support.

Thanks.

Year 11 Leadership Camp

Year 11 Leadership Camp

Year 11 students enjoyed a fantastic leadership camp at Chaverim from 15-17 June. Over the course of the three days, we participated in many activities which used our leadership and teamwork skills. These activities included climbing around a tree connected to your team mates, climbing a pamper pole and challenging yourself to jump off, canoeing, low ropes, high ropes and flying fox. These activities were not only a great way to test teamwork skills but we also learnt and got to know a lot more about ourselves and each other. At the end of very long days, after dinner, a few boys and Mr Robinson organised a campfire for everyone. This was a great opportunity for us to relax and also have conversations with people we may not normally to talk to, which was excellent. During camp, we agreed on a design for our senior jerseys for next year. We also discussed student leadership positions in year 12.  This camp was a massive success. It was great fun and the whole cohort created a stronger bond and we all became more comfortable with each other. A huge thank you to Mr Robinson who organised and lead us through the whole camp. Thanks also to our PC teachers, Mr Ryan, Mrs Romeo, Mrs Goodchap and Mrs Aplin. Thanks to all year 11 students for your efforts and teamwork on camp. We are all looking forward to our final year in 2017 and all of us working together and leading the school.

Thanks
