Activ8

G’day everyone and welcome to the ACTIV8 programme.  ACTIV8 is all about providing you, the students with a richer and more varied programme.  As you will already know we have ACTIV8 classes.  In our first 10 week rotation we have Ms Kirkland doing Adventure Ed-Cycling, Mr Murgatroyd with Sports Leadership, Mr Bannister with Garden Angels, Ms McDermott with Charity Begins at Home and Mr Dalla-Fontana and Mrs Murfet with Sustainability.  I couldn’t be more impressed with how my students are working and when I speak to the other teachers they also are very impressed with the positive approach their students are taking this year.

Next week we have our first major whole grade activity.  The Grade 8 camp to Fortescue Bay.  I love school camps because it is a great way to get to know students and see how they handle a range of experiences they don’t usually have at school.  From a staff point of view camps can be quite stressful.  We have responsibility for every student from the moment you arrive at school on the Wednesday to the moment you are collected on the Friday.  This level of responsibility applies day and night! I hope you take this into consideration on camp, as there is nothing worse than having to send students home for doing the wrong thing on camp.

If you’re interested in seeing what Fortescue Bay is like have a look at the Parks and Wildlife website at the link
