🎓 Whyalla Secondary College Joins Children’s University 🎓
We’re excited to announce that Whyalla Secondary College has officially joined the Children’s University program! 🎉
Earlier today, our year 7 and 8 students heard from Richard Parker, Regional Engagement Officer (Spencer Gulf), who introduced the program during assembly and explained how students can get involved.
We know many of our partnership primary schools already participate in Children’s University, and we’re proud to extend this opportunity to our college community—starting with our year 7 and 8 students!
Children’s University is a global program that encourages children and young people to engage in exciting, educational activities outside of the classroom, and rewards them for taking ownership of their learning.
🌍 The program connects students with cultural institutions, community organisations, and school-based clubs, and is already making a difference in places like the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and Africa.
📅 Sign-ups open Monday, 5 August and close Thursday, 15 August
📲 Parents, caregivers, and families—we’ve emailed you the QR code to register your child. Please check your inbox, or contact the school if you need support.
✅ Open to students aged 5 to 14
✅ Celebrates learning beyond school hours
✅ Builds strong school–community–family connections
Let’s support our young people as they grow into lifelong learners. We can’t wait to see our students working toward their Children’s University graduation! 🎓
