The theme of the day focused on managing stress and anxiety while encouraging participants to have fun and build positive connections. We also incorporated a volunteer activity in partnership with the Les Twentyman Foundation, supporting underprivileged young people by helping provide essential school supplies to those in need.

A special thank you to our Wellbeing Team for organising and running these events!

As we move further into Semester 2, every day at school matters – particularly for our students in Years 10–12.

Regular attendance is about much more than simply being marked present. Every lesson provides an opportunity to build knowledge, practise skills, receive feedback, ask questions and connect with teachers and classmates. Missing lessons can quickly create gaps that become increasingly difficult to catch up on, particularly as assessment and exam periods approach.

For our senior students, developing strong attendance habits also builds the responsibility and independence needed beyond school.

Families can help by encouraging students to:
- attend every day they are well enough to do so
- arrive on time and ready to learn
- communicate with teachers when learning has been missed
- seek support early if something is making attendance difficult.

There is still plenty of learning ahead this year. 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭.

In our recent production of 𝘞𝘦 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘙𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘠𝘰𝘶 our student performers stole the spotlight on stage, whilst one unassuming student was quietly proving their talent behind the camera.

Thank you to Henry P. for his outstanding photography skills. His contribution to the production and the production program has not gone unnoticed. From taking all of the cast headshots in the studio, to managing cast photos under stage lights, we are extremely proud of our young Year 8 photographer.

We are excited to welcome Madison, our newest Inclusion Learning Aide, to our College community.

Madison joins our fantastic team of seven Inclusion Learning Aides, which includes Rama, Cathryn, Paola, Sarah, Jackson & Jenny. They play an important role in ensuring students requiring additional support can fully participate in their learning and school life.

Every day, our Aides work alongside students and teachers across the College, providing individualised support that builds confidence, engagement and independence. Whether helping students access classroom learning, develop organisational skills, navigate social situations or feel more confident in their abilities, their contribution makes a significant difference.

Much of their work happens quietly behind the scenes and within our classrooms, but its impact can be seen in the growth and success of the students they support.

We are incredibly fortunate to have such a caring, patient and committed team who continually encourage our students to achieve their personal best.

Please join us in welcoming Madison to Cheltenham and celebrate the wonderful contribution all our Inclusion Learning Aides make to our College community each day.

As Cheltenham gathered at the lower oval for the Big Freeze, we took a moment to wish Ms Voullaire, a cherished English/Lit teacher at CSC, a very special day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS VOULLAIRE!!! 🎉🥰🥳

HUGE kudos to our CSC staff, who took to the slide to raise money for the Big Freeze at lunchtime today!
