FROM THE MIDDLE SCHOOL

Valley Life

What a memorable week in the life of our Valley Campus, with the first-ever full Year 7 Education Outdoors Program.  The purpose was to pursue the College’s Learner Attributes in the real world. The Valley Campus creates wonderful connections to historic events, coastal beaches, gold mine sites, challenging high ropes and scientific investigations into the water health of nearby dams, creeks and the South Esk River.  The Valley Life program, enables personal and social connections through community living and learning, supporting peers and staff to ensure that the community survives and thrives!

Thank you to our Education Outdoors staff for the connections to our Learner Attributes, to our Year 7 staff, especially our Head of Year 7 Mrs Katie Lester, Year 7 mentors and our Middle School Counsellor, Mrs Keiran Oates-Pryor for a superb week of guidance and wellbeing support.
