On Wednesday, 2nd September our Year 11 Student Councillors attended the Swan Young Changemakers Conference at the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre.
The conference brought together 4 students from each High School across the Federal electorate of Swan for a day of collaboration, innovation, and leadership. Students heard from inspiring speakers, engaged in interactive workshops, and discussed topics including climate change; environmental issues; housing costs; AI and job security to assist them in developing practical skills to help them create positive change within their school and community.

🍭Radio Lollipop🍭

During our Faction Carnival last Friday, the Student Council once again held their Radio Lollipop Sausage Sizzle Fundraiser and raffle, which proved to be hugely popular and a great success.

We are thrilled to share that an incredible $740 was raised, exceeding our expectations! All funds raised will be donated to Radio Lollipop, an international children’s charity that provides care, comfort, play and entertainment to young patients in hospitals.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Belmont Forum Centre Management, Coles Belmont Forum and Woolworths Belmont Forum for their generous donations and support, which helped make this event possible.

A special thank you also goes to our Student Council and the wider school community for their enthusiasm and generosity in supporting this wonderful cause. 👏

Yesterday, our students took part in Write a Book in a Day, working together to create an original book from start to finish. 📚
We’re very proud to say that all three groups completed their books within the day! The finished stories will now be compiled and added to the Write a Book in a Day Online Library, as well as being shared in physical form with children undergoing treatment in hospitals across Australia.

A big congratulations to all of our students for their creativity, teamwork and commitment throughout the day. ✍️📖

Last week saw Belmont City College students celebrate Science Week.

🌱This year’s theme was “Seeds of Science: Nurturing knowledge for all”. Students engaged in a range of themed activities in classes, including designing, building and testing a flotation device for seed dispersal, growing crystals from a seed crystal, and making and planting seed bombs. 🔬

The Science Department also ran a “Guess the number of seeds in the jar” competition. Several hundred entries were submitted by students, who won a range of fun, science-themed prizes. 🏆

⭐A group of our Year 8 and 9 students were selected to attend the ABCN Emerging Leaders Program, hosted at Macquarie Bank in the Perth C*D.

Throughout the day, students explored the idea that an “everyday leader” is someone who leads through their actions. 👑

Working in small groups alongside industry mentors, students participated in a range of activities designed to build their communication, teamwork, problem-solving and decision-making skills. They were encouraged to reflect on their own strengths, consider the qualities of effective leaders, and develop confidence in expressing their ideas and working collaboratively with others. 👩‍🏫👨‍🏫

The program also gave students the valuable opportunity to connect with professionals in a corporate workplace, hear about their experiences and gain insight into how leadership skills can be applied at school, in the workplace and in everyday life. 👏
