π Career Roadshow Inspires Future Pathways! π
Earlier this Term, students from Years 7β12 had the opportunity to attend the Career Roadshow, where they explored a wide range of exciting career pathways and future opportunities.
The event provided students with valuable insights into different industries, training options, apprenticeships, tertiary education pathways, and career possibilities available to them after school. Students were able to speak directly with industry representatives, ask questions, and learn about the skills and qualifications needed for a variety of professions.
Experiences like these help our students make informed decisions about their future, broaden their understanding of the many pathways available, and inspire them to start thinking about their career goals.
A big thank you to all the exhibitors and organisations who attended and shared their knowledge with our students. We hope the day sparked new ideas and ambitions for the future! π
π A Message for Our Spencer Gulf Families
Unfortunately, due to the forecast weather conditions, today`s Spencer Gulf Cuttlefish Excursion has been cancelled.
We know this is disappointing for our students, who were looking forward to this unique experience, but the safety of our students and staff is always our priority.
Thank you to our families for your understanding and ongoing support. We appreciate your flexibility and will share any updates if they become available.
Recently Andy Packer from Slingsby Theatre visited to run a shadow workshop with Performing Arts students from year 9 to year 12. Here students explored how to create an effective story structure, utilise narration, design and create shadow puppets, and explore the use of light and darkness within performance. Each group created a 30 second piece of theatre and performed to their peers, in a supportive and encouraging environment. We look forward to seeing how students use these techniques in their own work going forward.

β€οΈππ€ Looking Back on Reconciliation Week π€πβ€οΈ
As we begin celebrating NAIDOC Week at Whyalla Secondary College, we`re taking a moment to look back on the wonderful activities that brought our school community together during Reconciliation Week.
Under this year`s theme, `All In`, our students embraced opportunities to learn, create and connect. Throughout the week, students painted rocks for reconciliation, created meaningful artwork during break times, and enjoyed a spirited staff vs student dodgeball match to finish the week.
One of the highlights was our CHAT students hosting a fantastic afternoon tea, proudly showcasing their skills while welcoming and connecting with members of our school community.
Every activity reflected our shared commitment to reconciliation and the message that together, we are `All In` when it comes to creating positive change.
Thank you to all of our students and staff for your enthusiasm, participation and support. Stay tuned as we share more from our NAIDOC Week celebrations throughout the week!
πββοΈπ©Ή Fitness & Lifestyle in Action! π©ΉπββοΈ
This term, our Year 9 Fitness & Lifestyle classes have been researching different sporting injuries and learning about a range of injury prevention methods.
Recently, Mr King ran a practical ankle strapping session where students worked together to learn and apply effective ankle strapping techniques.
It was great to see students putting their knowledge into practice, working collaboratively, and showing excellent effort throughout the session. Well done to everyone involved! π
