Peer Support
Year 7and 11 students welcomed each other during peer support as part of our Waterford Program. Students caught up with each other after the holidays and discussed their goals for Term 3. This was particularly relevant for many of our Year 11 students seeking to become student leaders for 2021. Both years discussed their strengths and how these can help them achieve their goals.
SRC
Term 3 is a busy time for our SRC with involvement in the Athletics Carnival, Fathers Day Mass and the significant preparation for Rivalry Week and Dommies Day. Junior SRC members met recently making use of our Yarning Circle to begin preparations.
