A Visit from the Fremantle Dockers

On 12 July, Dianella Secondary College Education Support Centre had a very exciting group of visitors around.

The Fremantle Dockers dropped by the school to spend some time with our students. Our sport enthusiasts were extremely excited to meet the 7 players, Minairo ‘Michael’ Frederick, Patrick Voss, Liam Reidy, Brendon Walker, Heath Chapman, Conrad William, and Jack Delean.

During a short assembly, they were able to ask the players a couple of questions. the players shared their favourite foods, morning routines, and disclosed to us their favourite games they have played up to date! A group of students who put their names forward were also able to play a few footy games with them. The day ended with an autograph session, filled with signed posters and caps.

We would like to express our appreciation to the Fremantle Dockers for coming to spend time that afternoon. Our students could not contain their excitement and have been reminiscing their time with the players. Our appreciation also extends towards the staff who have made this visit possible 💜🏈

Coral Bay Camp

As part of the Bushrangers Program at Dianella Secondary College ESC, 12 selected students had the opportunity to attend a camp in Coral Bay, Western Australia!
The students were fortunate to learn about marine life and conservation through an insightful talk by a marine biologist. As part of learning about the marine ecosystems, each day was filled with snorkelling at Ningaloo Reef
The days of snorkelling lead to many exciting sightings of various marine animals, such as clams, fishes, sea turtles, and manta rays. The students also enjoyed a friendly competition of building sea creatures out of sand!
We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to the Minister for Health and Mental Health and MLA for Morley, Honourable Amber-Jade Sanderson for providing a $15,000 Lotterywest grant that made the camp possible for our Bushranger Program and provided immersive and memorable experiences for our students. Our appreciation also extends to the staff and teachers who were a vital part of organising the camp and ensuring the safety of our students

music, laughter, and applause as they hosted the annual Educaton Support North Network (ESNN)

schools including Mount Hawthorn ESC, Merriwa ESC, Creaney ESC, Roseworth ESC, Beldon ESC, Balcatta
Senior High School, Joondalup ESC, Belridge Secondary ESC, and Dianella Secondary College ESC. It was a

communication skills, enhances self-esteem, and nurtures a profound sense of community across the

City of Stirling Bush Care Program

Our school is taking part in the Bush Care Program held by the City of Stirling!
The Bushranger Cadet Leaders met with Conservation Field Technician, Imogen, and Environmental Education Officer, Chanel, to scout the area for our upcoming planting day and observed the variations of bushland density within Cottonwood Reserve! 🌳
They also removed the stakes from a previous year’s planting as the trees had grown to a height where they could support themselves.
After the observation, our students went back to Cottonwood Reserve to plant for the area’s rehabilitation.
They geared up with their boots, hats, and green thumbs as they worked together to manage and preserve our local bushlands and planted plenty of trees that will grow sturdy in due time! A very well done to all the students involved that morning, and a big thank you to the City of Stirling for organising the program, and to the staff involved.

Reconciliation Week 2024

Kaya everyone, here’s what we got up to in celebration of Reconciliation Week.
Our Dianella Education Precinct hosted the 2024 National Reconciliation Virtual Online Breakfast to start of National Reconciliation week. The event brought together students, staff, and community members to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture in Australia and foster reconciliation.
Our appreciation and gratitude extend towards:
Councillor Andrea Creado, representing the City of Stirling, who shared her insights on acknowledging our heritage, honouring our traditional elders, and highlighting the city’s initiative for reconciliation.
The Warangka Dandjoo choir from Dianella Secondary College, along with performers from our school and virtual choir from Dianella Primary College, for their wonderful performance.
The staff and students from Dianella Secondary College for the full breakfast featuring native Australian ingredients.
The staff and students who have made this successful event possible.
Our esteemed guests for attending.
We also held morning assembly, where our Aboriginal and Islander Education Officer, Ms Voss, presented a speech to emphasise the importance of teaching the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and building and positive relationships between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians to move towards the goal of reconciliation in Australia. She set an interactive scene, where our students closed their eyes and visualised what it was like for our elders.
As the weather cleared up and the sun came out, our school was able to continue the tradition, and held our Reconciliation Walk around our school grounds. We had our Student Councillors and Bushranger Representatives hold our Reconciliation Flag, made by our students and staff, and lead the walk.
After the walk, we held a sausage sizzle. The students enjoyed a hotdog and juice as we concluded the event.
