From the Leader of Learning Wellbeing Year 11

On the 22nd of June Year 11 and 12 students were able to have their first assembly, on the senior campus, since coming back from online schooling. However, unlike our usual schedule, this assembly endured for 15 minutes. The assembly consisted of the usual acknowledgement of country from the school captains, opening prayer from Year 11 students, the Principal Address from Mr Kennaugh, and a video presentation from the senior YCS (Young Christian Students) group, and Mrs Cooper (Leader of Wellbeing) informing students and staff on merits and an update of sport House points. 

After assembly, the Year 11 students were fortunate enough to stay behind for a brief Wellbeing lesson in the hall whilst social distancing. Durng the Wellbeing lesson, the Year 11 Learning Group Leaders received their badges, Mrs Cooper discussed the Year 12 Leadership process, and the Year 11 SRC gave a brief recap speech addressing topics such as the Vinnies Winter Appeal and Winter Sleepout, Athletics Carnival, the Year 12 senior sport jerseys, requests regarding uniform, and the upcoming of prelim exams. The speech concluded with Leigh, a member of the SRC, informing the cohort that there is hot chocolate, lollies, and music performances live and ready outside for the grades entertainment. 

This was an opportunity for everyone to unite together after returning from online learning as well as be present in an atmosphere of relaxation with the company of friends and peers as Year 11 is currently in an assessment period. It was also beneficial to the weekly Character Strength which is Creativity. 

It was a successful day which assisted in weaning students and teachers back into the usual fortnightly Monday.
