Celebrating achievements and setting goals
Recently we were able to celebrate the wonderful achievements of our students in the Semester 1 Ceremony of Excellence. It was wonderful to see so many students on stage receiving their awards in front of parents and friends. This week, I have had many conversations with students about their goals for Semester 2, as they have set themselves to work towards improving their learning outcomes. While the Ceremony allowed many students to be recognised, this is the time when students can work towards success in their learning. Setting learning goals and structures that stretch students will be incredibly beneficial. Congratulations to all students who have improved their learning during Semester 1.
Our Subject Selection Process is underway for our students to select into their subjects for next year. Individual emails have been sent to students with the Web Preferences link on it which allows students to complete this important task. It is important that students make decisions based on their likes and interests and discern the right program. While it is important to follow the deadlines, talking and reflecting on your strengths and likes will allow you to have a settled program in 2024. For support with your choices, please speak with a Head of Department or your teachers.

Action and reaction. Curiosity and discovery. Theory and practice. Our Science Week activities have been helping to answer scientific questions, test theories and shine a light on the captivating aspects of the sciences. There was elephant toothpaste making and shouting measurement in Hartzer Place and a great escape room activity in the Year 7 classrooms.

Learning and retaining information can be enhanced when we’re able to adapt content delivery to a range of learning styles and empower our students to engage in the process. Our Year 8 Chinese Language class used this approach to develop methods to learn grammar and vocabulary for their ‘Daily Activities’ unit. The students showcased their creativity to come up with learning methods, including action learning, colour-coding words, rhyming and breaking down the learning process, and then taught the methods to the class. A great example of student-initiated learning.

Congratulations to Eve, Luana, Angelica, Millie and Anika who competed in the SEGAP Teen Chef competition held at Killester College. Our budding chefs had a high-pressure day, creating and serving a two-course meal to a specified timeframe. They made Rotolo with basil oil and pine nuts and a choc-berry roulade for dessert. The judges were very impressed with the flavours, awarding them the Silver medal. Well done to all involved.

Our Year 10 PE students were very fortunate to have a presentation by Sue Smith from the Alfred Hospital’s PARTY program (Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth) recently.
Sue has worked as an Emergency Nurse at the Alfred for more than three decades, and she’s an OLSH alumna (Class of 1985), so there was a very special connection and resonance in her message. She spoke to the girls about recognising medical emergencies, how to help your friends and risk prevention. Thanks Sue for sharing your valuable and powerful knowledge with our students.
