Year 9/10 Camp Highlights

Last week, our Year 9 and 10 students adventured onto a camp full of fun. There were evenings around the campfire, sharing stories under the stars and enjoying the simple joy of being in nature.

Daytime brought a burst of energy with arcade games that sparked friendly competition and rock-climbing challenges that pushed students to new heights.

More than just activities, the camp was about building friendships, creating memories and stepping outside of comfort zones together. Until next time, camp legends! 🔥🎮🧗‍♂️⛺✨

Planting for the Future

Early mornings and fresh air marked the beginning of another rewarding year with the Bush Care Program, in partnership with the City of Stirling, where some of our students and staff headed to Cottonwood Reserve

Guided by Patxi and Chanel, we followed a thoughtful planting plan to ensure each new addition found its ideal place in the landscape. Some plants proved reluctant to leave their containers but with patience and care, they were safely settled into the soil.

Starting the day with hands in the earth and a focus on restoration was a meaningful way to continue our ongoing efforts, helping the local environment flourish for the future.

Mini Woolies Opening Ceremony

We had a very excited to announce the launch of the Dianella Mini Woolies on our site at Dianella Secondary College Education Support Centre! 💚
 
The Mini Woolies in Dianella is set to transform the learning journey ofyoung people with disabilities. Woolworths and Dianella Secondary College Education Support Centrehave teamed up to create an immersive simulated supermarket space to practise retail and general life skills.
Rather than a fully operational store, a converted classroom has been set up to simulate the operations of an actual Woolworths supermarket, with baskets for fresh food, shelving for groceries, ticketing,signage and Woolworths branded uniforms, as well as two registers. The site will serve as an accessible learning space for students with disabilities to learn vital
skills in literacy, numeracy, communication and register operations; and building confidence, independence and preparedness for the future.
 
We are appreciative of the initiative by the Woolworths group and Fujitsu for allowing a mix of an immersive and engaging learning space and in-store technology to produce a positive difference in our students.
 
Thank you to the local Woolworths store team at Dianella for being with us every step of the way and training our students – We cannot wait to utilise the site!
