  • 1 Year 9 NAPLAN Awards
    An IndependentAn Independent Public Public School School ge Colle TERM 4 ISSUE 1 2019 The Newsletter of Gilmore Year 9 NAPLAN Awards Congratulations to everyone for their fantastic achievement. The success they accomplished is a reflection of the hard work and dedication exhibited in their three years at Gilmore College. Turn to page 22 for more information. 1 1 Needless to say, it was less a message about rugby and sport and more a message about how everyone, no matter their walk of life or calling/responsibility, has the chance to show leadership and shape the culture of their surrounds. If you have time over the summer period to read a book, I would thoroughly recommend this one, whether you’re a rugby fan or not. A full list of award winners among our Year 12 students will be published in the final Newsletter for 2019 in December. For now, congratulations to our ATAR Dux Tanatswa Chafa, our General Studies Dux Frency Carino and our VET dux Marcus Davies of the KIC School Based Engineering and Metals Traineeship program. Finally, I am sure that the rest of our staff, students and parents will be acutely aware of just how much of 2019 is left to run. I would like to urge everyone to think about what can be done over the next five weeks to positively impact on your results that comprise your final school report for the year. My recent Assembly speech centred around goal setting and the link between two of our SOAR values Organised and Aspirational. I reminded all of our students that there is still time to set short and medium term goals that will assist in raising that C Grade to a B, that B to an A and even that D or E up to a C grade.

  • Student Health Professional Program an Accessible Path to the Future
    MEDIA RELEASE: 13 January 2021 Susan Hoerlein, Public Affairs & Communications Specialist P (08) 9215 0733 l M 0422 553 343 l E [email protected] Student Health Professional Program an Accessible Path to the Future Fees will be waived for 4 students participating in the 2021 Future Health Professionals Program, doubling the accessibility for all Western Australian students to get a taste of life in the health sciences. Thirty Western Australian students from years 11 and 12 will take part in the week-long intensive program from 18 – 22 January, with practical workshops at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and lectures and workshops at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research (Nedlands). The Future Health Professionals Program gives students exposure to a range of career options within the medical science sector, to expand their view of what a career in this field involves. Over a 45-hour week, students will learn from clinical mental health practitioners, genetic counsellors, epidemic response professionals, nurses, paramedics, sanitation and hygiene specialists, and surgeons, among others. Kalien Selby, Chief Executive Officer Scitech, claims the remarkable program demonstrates how practical and credible exposure to career opportunities can have long-lasting impact on student’s enthusiasm and confidence. “We have seen time and again how students are empowered when they can make informed choices for their learning and career pathways, often identifying new opportunities they may not have previously considered.” Ms Selby said. “Scitech’s unique position as Western Australia’s leading science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) engagement organisation enables us to create an authentic link between school and industry, and we are proud to partner with Sir Charles Gairdner hospital, one of Australia's leading teaching tertiary hospitals, to provide this rich experience.” Ms Selby continued.

This Cqvrupey Sherherd year it was Wagin‟s turn to host the event which was well organised by Wagin Art teacher Shaun Vandenberg. The entrants from our school were year 10s and 12s who looked like professional fashion models as their strutted their stuff to the delight of the big audience. Teachers, parents, grandparents, siblings and friends joined to encourage the students in what is quite a daunting task of modelling their own garment. Descriptions of their garments and their hopes and dreams were read to the audience to give us some insight as to who these girls really are. All the things the girls had been worried about such as „what if I fall off the stage‟ or „what if I forget what to do‟ or „what if I trip over the hem of my dress‟ etc, etc didn‟t happen and afterwards even the most nervous girls said „it was fun can I do it again‟. The Apex Awards are an Australia wide competition with heats in all city and regional areas. The girls had worked hard since the beginning of term 2 and all looked gorgeous. They all deserved to win but of course there can only be a few finalists to go on to the State Finals in Perth. Day Wear finalists are Sam Dawes, Tahlia Milentis, Eveoiog Wear Fioalist Lauren Rayner, Shae-Lee Thompson and Brianna Watt The Evening Wear finalist is Courtney Shepherd.
