That’s a wrap for another action-packed term one at the Tyabb Campus. The last few weeks have been quite eventful with plenty of opportunities to make use of the excellent weather.
Our Year 7 students took some brief time out from their classes to contribute to our ‘Alumni Garden,’ planting a small tree that will be a long lasting legacy of their time here at Tyabb.
Our Year 9s have launched into the Aspire 9 Program with enthusiasm and gusto, taking part in a walk up Arthurs Seat, first aid, swimming with the dolphins, and mock job interviews just to name a few. Thank you to the staff that volunteered to support these interviews and also to our local Rotary Club volunteers that kindly assisted in the experience.
Our Year 8 students had their eXcel day on Wednesday 28 February, engaging in sessions conducted by external providers such as:
Living Culture - where students where taught traditional bush tucker and medicine practices,
Blurred Minds - where students were informed of the dangers of substance use and strategies to protect themselves from harm.
A focus session - on personal sustainability run by Ms Hyland and the local Shire.
We had a fantastic day at the Tyabb swimming carnival. Our Sports Co-ordinator, Ms Love did a brilliant job organising the event and we were blessed with awesome weather. The carnival came at a great time for the students to take a break in their studies and all students got involved in creating the carnival atmosphere, dressing up, cheering and giving their all in the pool. Well done to the House Co-ordinators for the preparation work that went into the House chants and costumes. Please read Ruby Dean's report below.
We have also completed our NAPLAN for another year with our Year 7 and 9 students completing this assessment over three days. Well done to Mrs Kenyon for all her work facilitating this for another year.
