🌧️🌿 Rain Didn’t Stop the Learning! 🌿🌧️
Our permaculture class had an incredible day out at the Kings Park Education Centre, fully engaged and embracing every moment—even in the wet weather! 👏
Students actively participated in a range of hands-on learning experiences, including:
🌱 Identifying a Banksia Tuart Woodland ecosystem
🕸️ Exploring the relationships between plants and animals through food chains and webs
🌏 Investigating environmental changes and the threats facing natural habitats
🔬 Contributing to a national citizen science project
📊 Collecting and collating abiotic data
Despite the rain pouring down all day, our students showed amazing focus, resilience, and enthusiasm—truly making the most of this fantastic opportunity. 💪🌦️
A huge thank you to the wonderful team at the Kings Park Education Centre for delivering such an engaging and enriching experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better day of learning in the field! 🌳✨

🌟 FG09 in Action! 🏓🚌
Our FG09 class has been busy building both their physical skills and independence!
Recently, students have been learning how to play pickleball at the MARC 🏓—developing coordination, teamwork, and confidence while having a great time staying active.
But the learning didn’t stop there… 👏
Students also practised their transport training skills by catching Transperth buses to and from the venue. This real-world experience helps them build independence, plan journeys, and develop confidence in using public transport safely.

🍪💛 Retail Students Supporting Telethon! 💛🍪
Our Retail students have been busy putting their marketing and customer service skills into action—creating and selling delicious cookie mix jars to raise funds for Telethon!
To boost their sales, they even prepared tasty samples to entice staff—and it worked! Students confidently promoted their products, engaged with customers, and showed fantastic initiative throughout the process.
👏 Thanks to their teamwork and dedication, they have raised an impressive $300 for this very worthwhile cause!
Well done to all involved—we’re so proud of your efforts and community spirit! 💫
