In the past fortnight we have celebrated those who received an award at the Academic Awards Ceremony. It was delightful to see those on stage enjoy the experience and have family there to support them. While the journey stories were so varied, there was a moment where a Year 12 student shared that it was the first time they had received an award. They had worked so hard at crafting goals over the past months, and they were so energized that they had been recognised.
Our second session of Semester Two Parent Teacher Interviews will occur next week. Again, this is an opportunity to formally check in with teachers about the progress of your daughters. As the students will be at home on Tuesday, they should use the time to catch up on their assessment, notes and work. For senior students, the push towards the exams should be front of mind so this day will afford them the opportunity to get ahead with their studies.
Well done to the many students who are involving themselves in academic co-curricular opportunities this term. The fullness of the programs allows those to continue to augment their programs to allow for exciting opportunities.

Congratulations to the three teams that recently competed in three divisions of the Tournament of Minds. This competition is an Australian wide competition where participants respond to a creative question presenting their interpretation as a team. This competition demonstrates teamwork and collaboration working to solve a literature, social science, arts or STEM problem.
We congratulate the three teams, especially Team 2 Social Science who were awarded Honors and Team 1 Arts who were awarded Honors but were also given a wild card entry to the State Finals in upcoming weeks. Congratulations to all participants in this program and we wish the Year 10 students all the best in the upcoming state final.
Four year 7 students were selected to participate in the Marvellous Miraculous Minds program at St Bedes College, as part of our enrichment offering. Students were able to connect with other likeminded talented students working to improve creativity and produce sustainable ideas. Well done on the students chosen to participate, Ellie, Katya, Anjanique and Rachel.
Congratulations to OLSH students Millie, Anabelle, Angelina and Mary who won a silver medal in the SEGAP Teen Chef competition. They prepared a Silverbeet and Ricotta Malfatti with burnt butter sauce and walnut crumb as a main course and a Raspberry and Rhubarb Tart for dessert. The dishes had to be prepared and plated to time with the judges observing preparation and presentation. Thank you to our staff who have been preparing the students in after-school training sessions.

Yr 10 Health students were fortunate to hear from a Trauma Nurse from The Alfred speak about making good choices and that your life can change in a split second. They also heard from a guest whose choice to save her mobile phone lead her to live with lifelong repercussions.

We're fortunate to have two of our students, Ivory and Imogen, participating in the University of Melbourne's Girl Power program, supporting students who are seeking a pathway in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). The program is offered to 40 students statewide each year and it provides experience and mentoring opportunities over four years.
Imogen has just completed the four-day camp, which is the feature of the first year of the program, where she completed coding tutorials and a drone workshop, and worked with mentors who shared their experiences as young women in STEM. Ivory has just completed the work experience component, which is offered in Year 10, which included a workshop in the Tesla Creator space, discussions with university mentors and a visit to Boeing. During Year 11 and 12 the program offers STEM mentoring for the program participants.
Well done to Imogen and Ivory for being selected for this program. Below is Imogen's reflection on the four-day camp.
In the holidays, I had the opportunity to attend the Girl Power in Engineering and IT Camp at Melbourne University. It was an incredible experience, which really opened my eyes to the future opportunities of engineering. Over 4 days, with 40 like-minded girls, I took part in many engineering and technology based workshops, including a coding tutorial, a drones workshop, and the opportunity to construct and code a boat.
In order to partake in this camp, I submitted an application and was shortlisted for an interview in May. In this interview, we were asked to pick a UN Sustainable Development Goal and find a way to solve it. This was similar to an assignment that we did on the camp, in which we were asked to research an SDG, find a solution for it and find a significant woman who has contributed to it. By the end of May, I was super excited to have been chosen for the program, and started packing my bags for July!
At the camp, not only did we participate in hands-on, extended experiences, but we were also able to speak with many knowledgeable women on the subjects of science and IT. We had five amazing mentors, who are all currently studying IT or Engineering at Melbourne, travelling with us across the campus, who were more than happy to answer any questions we had and give us their top tips on their success.
My favourite event was definitely the Career Panel night we attended on the last night of the camp. We got to meet and speak to five amazing Australian female contributors to STEM, and the experience they shared with us was completely invaluable. It was incredible to be able to ask them questions and learn from them about leadership, being a woman in STEM, their careers and how they got to where they are today.
Over the camp, I met amazing people, took part in super fun workshops and got to experience Melbourne University in a way that I hadn’t considered before. I had the best time, and I would definitely recommend it to those in Year 7 and 8 who enjoy or take an interest in STEM!

Our Year 10 PE students participated in a wheelchair basketball incursion as part of their disability in sport unit. Students were challenged outside their comfort zone and had a great time. Perfect timing as we get ready to watch the paralympics in just over a week’s time.

Last week the year 12 PE class visited Triple Five fitness in Bentleigh to design their own resistance training program and participate in a HIIT training session. This enabled the students to put the theory they've been studying about training methods and principles into practice.

Year 10 students Annaliese, Maeve, Nia and Angelina represented OLSH College at the Online Secondary Schools’ Parliamentary Convention. The topic for this year's convention was "Should technological advancements, such as AI, be incorporated into the classroom?".
The students had the opportunity to hear from members of parliament, industry experts and then engage in discussion and debates with students from other schools. The students demonstrated an impressive level of intellect and curiosity for this complex topic. Well done!
