STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY

In too many parts of the world, girls are so lowly regarded their births are not even registered. Most aren’t sent to school, too many receive little, if any, health or hygiene advice. They are virtually slaves to their religion, their family or their husbands. In contrast to the developed world, in many countries life expectancy of women is significantly less than that of men.

It is suspected that, each year, about 15 million girls are married before the age of 18. That is 28 girls every minute. More than 700 million women alive today were married before their 18th birthday. That’s about 10% of the world’s population.

STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE YEAR 10 PASS CAMP

On Monday, 14 March Year 10 PASS classes embarked on a journey to Kincumber’s Great Aussie Bush Camp. We jumped off the bus and sat on the campfire logs, very eager for our instructor Darielle to inform us which activities we would begin with.

Our 3rd day began with a 6am wake up call, gathering our things to get ready to head home. We all placed our luggage and bags into the rec hall and marched off to breakfast, wide-awake and ready for the day.

Group 1 started with Canoeing and then completed the survivor challenge and Group 2 went to the high ropes course and the Giant Swing. Canoeing was done in the dam where we played games on the water and the survivor challenge was a difficult obstacle course across mud. The day was finished off with a campfire and games played on the oval where not only students but also our teachers got very competitive.

Again, there was torrential rain, which made the day even better. Both groups joined together and conquered the leap of faith and pioneering. Lunch was served as a sausage sizzle and we jumped back on the bus for the trip home. We loved the camp and

special thank you to Mrs Gowan and Miss Smith for organising an amazing couple of days we won’t soon forget. Day 2 started off with breakfast in the dining hall, then Darielle’s group completed the high ropes LUCY course, giant swing, initiatives and power fan, STUDENT while Mel’s group went to smash out the survivor challenge, canoeing, initiatives and the power fan.

While Darielle’s group had no one fall in the mud in the survivor challenge, Mel’s group had numerous falls. Day 2 had torrential rain - making it that much more fun. To finish off the day we had trivia night, a battle of the sexes, making it perfectly clear that the girls are obviously smarter and quicker than boys! We finished with supper then everyone went off to bed to prepare for another day of activities. 4/04/2016 Woolooware High School p.5

STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SCHOOL ENTRANCE

The school has improved the entrance area along the inner fence line on Woolooware road.

The work involved creating raised garden beds with wooden sleeper edging. It was filled with soil, landscaped including rock features and a variety of new plants as well as some laying of new turf.

The project was funded through the assistance of the Sutherland Shire Council who received funding to help schools with environmental projects. This was the Kurnell 20/20 Project administered by the NSW Government Department Greater Local Land Services. It was designed to support schools on the Kurnell peninsula in undertaking environmental projects. Geoff Doret who is the Greenweb officer at the council must also be thanked for his assistance with the project.

The work was carried out by a local landscaping business called Tranquillity Landscapes. The finished work certainly looks good and it is an improvement to the entrance to the school, especially when the plants mature.

As part of Woolooware High School’s strategic direction 3 – Striving For Excellence in school culture, we are focussing on developing strong and resilient students. To support this endeavour, in Week 4 of Term 1, Years 7 through to Year 10 participated in Wellbeing Sessions, specifically designed to cater for the wellbeing needs of their grade.

Year 7 attended a grade presentation on the Anti-Bullying policy at Woolooware High School and were introduced to the concept of “Step in, step up” - highlighting the critical role of the bystander in stepping in to make a stand against bullying.

Year 8 participated in “Mind Up – Getting Focussed” workshops facilitated by staff members of the Wellbeing Team and Year Advisors. These workshops have been designed to introduce the concept of Mindfulness to students and give student’s an opportunity to understand the educational, emotional and physical benefits of being present and focussed.

Year 9 participated in “Mindmatters – Understand- ing Friends and Peers” workshops facilitated by staff members of the Wellbeing Team and Year Advisors. These workshops have been designed to encourage students to look out for their mates, recognising the signs and symptoms of when a friend is struggling, and being able to support them in seeking help.

Year 10 attended a grade presentation on Leadership, led by our school chaplain Alex Johnson. Within this session they were encouraged to brainstorm qualities and traits that make great leaders and consider ways in which they can take on leadership roles within the school and wider community.

Once a term, each grade will come together to participate in Wellbeing Sessions which will endeavour to build a school community of strong and resilient students. Stay tuned for more from the Wellbeing Team!
