🏛️ A Journey Through Whyalla`s History! 🏛️
Whyalla Secondary College was honoured to recently host Paul Mazourek, who delivered an engaging and insightful presentation on the rich history of Whyalla to our Year 7 students as part of their Learning Expedition.
Paul`s wealth of knowledge and passion for our local community captivated the attention of students as they explored the stories, people, and events that have shaped Whyalla into the city it is today. The presentation provided a valuable opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of the region`s heritage and develop a greater appreciation for the history that surrounds them.
A big thank you to Paul for sharing his time and expertise with our students. Experiences like these help bring learning to life and inspire young minds to connect with their community and its past.
📅 Reminder to families that the college will be closed for the King’s Birthday public holiday on Monday 8 June. The school will reopen on Tuesday 9 June at 8:00am. 👑
Our Year 8 students recently had an exciting opportunity to engage with Adelaide University Whyalla Campus, exploring a range of study options and future pathways to support their career aspirations.
Through interactive activities, students reflected on their personalities, strengths and interests, gaining valuable insight into how these qualities can shape future success in employment and a variety of career fields.
It was a fantastic experience that encouraged students to start thinking about their future possibilities and the many pathways available to help them achieve their goals.
