🎉 What a Big Day at Whyalla Secondary College! 🎉
Friday 20 March, our college came together to celebrate and recognise World Down Syndrome Day, Harmony Day, World Neurodiversity Day, and the completion of NAPLAN 🙌
It was a vibrant and meaningful day, with students and staff embracing diversity, inclusion, and the unique strengths that make our community so special. From colourful displays to shared conversations, there was a real sense of connection and pride across the school 💛
A fantastic way to celebrate who we are—together! 🌈
The WASSAC event in Port Lincoln was a fantastic showcase of athletic talent and team spirit. Our male captain, Peter, achieved an outstanding result, winning the Open Boys Champion, which is a significant accomplishment. Our female captain, Mia, produced an incredible effort to win both the 1500m and 800m races by nearly 100 metres. The Open Boys relay team also delivered a dominant performance, winning by a comfortable margin. It was a superb day overall, with many athletes securing 1st and 2nd place finishes and representing the school with pride.
Our Year 7 Advancing Technologies students have been stepping into the world of filmmaking, bringing their ideas to life through short films. From planning their story and developing characters to filming and editing, students have explored the full creative process while building valuable digital skills.
It’s been fantastic to see their creativity, teamwork, and confidence grow as they experiment with different techniques and storytelling styles. We’re so proud of the effort they’ve put in and can’t wait to see their final productions!
