We are concerned for the total development of our students. All students have the opportunity to participate in our Social Lifeskills Program for a five lesson cycle each term.
The program covers four (4) major areas of:
· Study Skills, Thinking Skills and Personal Organisation;
· Career Education;
· Drug and Alcohol Education;
· Human Relationships Education
The school Guidance Officers, Drug and Alcohol Consultant, School Based Police Officer, School Nurse and Human Relationship consultants have assisted and in-serviced staff in the development of Year Level packages on these topics.
Year 8 Care classes each have two Year 12 students who work with them as Care Counsellors. This helps them to settle into high school and to enjoy the activities planned throughout the year.
