WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WEEK 2

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

It's been a busy Week 2 here at Calwell High with students engaging in some deep learning in their final units for the year.

On Tuesday, our Year 9 students participated in the yLead wellbeing based leadership program. External presenters worked with our Year 9 students, focussing on the transition into their senior year, and how they can support and be role models for our younger students. Students spent the day participating in group activities, working as a team and developing their creativity and decision making skills. It was fantastic to see our emerging leaders engaging throughout the day!

Today I had the pleasure of attending our Year 8 RAISE Mentoring Graduation with all of our mentees and their volunteer mentors. Congratulations to the students who successfully completed the program and a massive thank you to the mentors for their time and dedication to our students.

Lastly, a reminder to families that next Friday 28 October is a pupil free day across the ACT Education Directorate.

Have a great weekend.

Steve

FACULTY NEWS

YEAR 8 HaSS
This week in year 8 HaSS students investigated geographical processes such as erosion. Students were able to replicate coastal erosion, and think critically in order to manage erosion, and prevent it from damaging the landscape - and save the lighthouse in the process.
TEXTILES
The students in textiles have been busy making Christmas stockings!
