Yo-ho-ho, and a barrel of fun had by all!
This year, during our Bushranger Busy Bee session, our whole school was involved in planting, reviving, and caring for our plants and local produce!
In preparation for the day, our students and staff collected food scraps that were safe for our worm farms too feed so that our soils were nutrient dense and ready for our plants. The students, with the guidance of our staff, dug up the garden beds to make way for new soil, then planted produce such as tomato, broccoli, snow pea and more. Not too long before the new harvest comes along!
We held our School Ball on the 24th of April, where our students came down and had a wonderful time.
They polished up in their dresses and suits, had delicious food, and even got to the dancefloor for a dance with their friends.
Congratulations to Savanah, who showed her moves and grooves and won the dance award, as well as Kyle and Isabella, who won best dressed during the night.
This Kooyar Carnival, our school was filled with competitive spirit as they had their game face on. Amidst the balls that were thrown, buckets that were filled, and ropes that were tugged, everyone did amazingly in all the activities while exhibiting sportsmanship.
Congratulations to everyone for the effort they have put in!
On the 15th of March, the Dianella Education Support Centre held its annual swimming carnival,
radiating with enthusiasm and excitement. Students from all grades showcased their swimming
skills and teamwork with great enthusiasm, making it a vibrant event. The atmosphere was filled
with cheers and encouragement as students cheered on their peers, fostering a sense of
camaraderie and sportsmanship. Overall, it was a day filled with joy, achievement, and
memorable moments for everyone involved in the Dianella Education Support Centre
community.
Congratulations to Darado who were the winning house, taking home the trophy in 2024!
Each year Reconciliation Week runs from 27 May to 3 June, it is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
On Friday, June 2 we held a Reconciliation Curriculum Day. Rooms 4, 5 and 8, along with staff, attended the Walk for Reconciliation at Kaarta Koomba (Kings Park), whilst the rest of the school participated in cultural activities such as damper making. It was a wonderful time for all students to learn more about Aboriginal culture, history and achievements and discuss ways in which we could contribute to achieving reconciliation.
On May 25th , we were proud to take part in the National Reconciliation Week Virtual Breakfast hosted by Reconciliation WA. The event, hosted by Dianella Secondary College, showcased the culinary talents of the Dookerniny Garbala Cooking Class from the Secondary College who used native ingredients such as lemon myrtle, wattle seed and finger limes to create a fantastic menu. A performance from students at the Secondary College was a wonderful opening before guests turned to the screens to watch the virtual presentations from Reconciliation WA.
National Reconciliation Week (NRW) provides an opportunity for Australians to discover and appreciate our shared histories, cultures, and accomplishments. It encourages individuals to contemplate their role in fostering reconciliation in Australia. NRW takes place from 27 May to 3 June, marking two crucial milestones in the reconciliation process: the significant 1967 referendum and the influential High Court Mabo decision. As we progress, reconciliation should become ingrained in the thoughts, sentiments, and deeds of all Australians, building a nation fortified by respectful connections between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
