🍳🥢Due to popular demand, Chinese Fried Rice made a return. Students actively participated in preparing the scrambled eggs. We saw an increase number of willingness to crack eggs and whip them into a fluffy consistency. Stay tuned for Week 9 when WSS Breakfast Club will see students preparing an Indian, Chinese fusion fried rice dish.👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

🏕️ Stage 2 Outdoor Education – Self-Reliant Camp 🌿

Our Stage 2 Outdoor Education students headed to Mount Crawford Forest and Parra Wirra Conservation Park for their Self-Reliant Camp this week.

The camp provided students with the opportunity to develop their outdoor skills, build confidence and demonstrate self-reliance while experiencing the natural environment.

Working together and taking responsibility for their camp experience, students embraced the challenges and made the most of this valuable learning opportunity. 🌲🥾🔥

Well done to our Stage 2 students for showing resilience, teamwork and independence throughout the camp.

🛠️ Carpentry Try-a-Trade 🪚

Wirreanda students recently had the opportunity to get hands-on with the building and construction industry through a Carpentry Try-a-Trade Immersion Day, delivered onsite by the Adelaide Training and Employment Centre (ATEC).

Students stepped into the Trade Training Centre and put their skills to work, gaining practical experience using carpentry tools and equipment and constructing wall frames under the guidance of industry professionals.

The day provided students with valuable insight into what a career in carpentry and the wider construction industry could look like, while developing practical skills and learning more about the training and career pathways available during and beyond school.

Immersion experiences such as this can also be used as VETRO evidence as part of students’ applications for VET courses in year 11 and 12, including the Certificate II in Construction based at Wirreanda.
A huge thank you to ATEC for providing our students with such a valuable hands-on learning experience and supporting them to explore where a career in construction could take them! 👷‍♀️👷‍♂️🌟

🎓 Wirreanda Careers Expo 2026 🎓

Wirreanda recently welcomed a range of organisations and exhibitors to our 2026 Careers Expo, giving our students the opportunity to explore future pathways and connect directly with industry experts and professionals.

Students engaged with exhibitors representing universities, Registered Training Organisations, apprenticeship and employment providers, and government and public services, providing exposure to the many different pathways available beyond school.

With Year 12 SATAC applications, Learning Conversations and Subject Selections taking place this term, the Expo provided an important opportunity for students to ask questions, explore their options and gather information to support informed decisions about their next steps.

We were incredibly pleased to receive such positive feedback from exhibitors about the engagement, enthusiasm and quality of conversations they had with our students.

A huge thank you to all of the organisations and representatives who gave their time to attend and support our young people.

Your involvement helps our students build valuable connections and better understand the opportunities available to them. 🌟
