From the Leader of Wellbeing Year 11

Hello St Andrews College Community,

It has been a fantastic Term 1 for Year 11. It has been wonderful to see the students’ dedication to their studies. I have received lots of positive feedback from our College staff about the commitment of the Year 11 students in their classes and I am very proud of them all.

There have already been quite a number of events so far this term that Year 11 have participated in within the College. Students did a wonderful job celebrating our Leadership Week and Harmony Day. 

The Project Compassion fundraising has been very successful and included a wonderful performance from Mr Ison’s Breakdancing Crew. Congratulations to Dante Carbone, Milton Gialamas, Ethan Tibig, Eidrian Tibig and Raine Tui on their debut performance - it was a huge success and very entertaining!

We also had the Year 11 Jazz Evening on Tuesday Evening where our students were very professional in their skill execution of Music, Drama, Vet Entertainment and promotional artwork. Well done to everyone involved and thank you to those who came along to support their peers. It was a wonderful College event that showcased many talents! Thank you to Dr Kennaugh, Mr Chiappetta and Mr Alata for providing the evening, and for all of their preparation to ensure it was a success.

I would also like to commend the students who elected to participate as competitors in the Swimming Carnival and Cross Country, and the Year 11 students who represented the College at the PDSSSC Basketball and Football Gala Day.

Throughout each of these events, all students in Year 11 have demonstrated outstanding leadership in their participation and respect, and are presenting themselves as wonderful role models for the rest of the College.

In our Wellbeing lessons so far this term we have touched on the importance of engaging with School Spirit and being involved in the life of the College, as well as Setting Goals and staying motivated throughout the year. Some of the biggest takeaways from our lessons have been to set small achievable goals, utilise teacher feedback and create a balanced study timetable.

Congratulations to the following students who have been chosen as the Learning Group Leaders for Semester One:

B16 - Luke Binny and Amber Kahlon

B21 - Jenzel Rindfleish and Melody Attard
