We started the year with a bang, as the Year 12’s headed off to Wallaroo for their Retreat on Thursday February 1. We were hosted by CU at Wallaroo where we were joined by other schools from the YP including Yorketown Area School, Minlaton District School and Ardrossan Area School.
This year we focused on inspiring our students to choose a pathway that is suitable to them and their own goals. Kab from Elevate Education presented two sessions involving high impact workshops to help the students improve their study techniques, increase motivation, build confidence, and lift exam performance. We look forward to having them back to visit in Term 2. Following these sessions, we headed to the Wallaroo beach for some team building games and a swim.
On Friday we had a brilliant presentation from local Personal Trainer, Stacey Keating. Stacey has a passion for young people having access to all opportunities, whether it be University, a job in the local community or even running a business as she has had experience in all of these options. We thank Stacey very much for her time and efforts. Overall it was a fantastic two days and I look forward to supporting the Year 12s to achieve the goals they were envisioning on the Retreat.
