Wow! What a fantastic year 2015 was for the staff and students in the Southern Campus and 2016 is promising to be even more exciting. We now have a third class which will bring with it two new, highly experienced staff members. Jenna is trained in Outdoor Education – a program that promotes team building and social interaction. Rene comes from a horticultural background and also enjoys outdoor activities. Both will bring new skills, ideas, enthusiasm and talents to our team. By following our ethos of respect, responsibility and fairness a calm, happy and productive learning environment will continue to pervade the campus. When we see the student's arrive with smiles on their faces we know they feel a sense of belonging, pride and inclusion.
Many projects and events were included into our program including, dry wall construction, kitchen assembly, development of cricket skills, swimming program, an overnight camp, establishment of an orchard, a Read and Ride initiative and an association with the Welby Garden Centre for future work experience. Another fishing camp will be deployed in Term 1 for some of the students. The knowledge, skills and fun that the students glean from these activities will take them from the classroom into successful futures.
