Well done, Leo!

Congratulations to Madison in Year 11, who competed in the WA All Schools State Championships in early November. She won a gold medal for the Triple Jump and a silver medal for the 400m Hurdles. This now qualifies her for the All Schools Nationals taking place in Perth in early December.

But that's not all, Madison also competed in the WA Combined Events State Championships over the weekend and took home the gold medal in the U20 Women鈥檚 Heptathlon; which qualifies her for the National Championships taking place in Adelaide in April 2024.

Well done, Madi!

IN THE DOG HOUSE

Year 3 student, Bodhi and his dad Jarrad are spending a "Day in the Doghouse" at the Shenton Park Dogs Refuge on Sunday 3 December to help raise much-needed funds.

If you would like to contribute to a worthy cause here is the ; or come and visit him in the kennels.

Mr Andy Wahid from Perth Children's Hospital (PCH) had the pleasure of visiting our Junior School on Monday to accept a particularly noteworthy donation.

成人短片's Primary School generously contributed $1200 worth of books to PCH, funds that were raised during the highly successful Book Fair held in Term 3.

These 125 books will serve a meaningful purpose, being utilised for outpatients in the hospital's Diabetes ward and for children who find themselves staying overnight at the hospital.

After winning the Joondalup local competition in Term 3, our Year 6 Girls' Basketball Team were invited to the WA Champions Cup at Bendat Basketball Stadium. This competition included 16 of the best school teams from the Perth metropolitan area plus regional areas.

Our 成人短片s girls started in Pool D with two close wins and a draw. This qualified them for the quarter-finals, which, after a slow start, finished strongly to win. This then progressed them to the semi-finals, which meant a tough game against Sorrento Primary. In a see-sawing battle, unfortunately, the girls lost only by five points.

This was an outstanding result, which meant that our Girls' team finished as the third-best Year 6 team in the State. An incredible accomplishment, considering they were one of 100 Schools that entered this competition in 2023.

A big thanks to all the parents who came along and supported us and Mr Van Winsen, who was a calming influence during some stressful close games.

In the heart of the Boranup Forest Region, from Monday 6th to Friday 10th November 2023, 成人短片's Anglican Community School's Year 10 students embarked on an unforgettable Outdoor Adventure Studies Expedition. The expedition was not just an exploration of nature but a profound journey of self-discovery, resilience, and group cohesion.

This immersive expedition was characterised by its unique "journey-based" approach, requiring students to carry their essential equipment throughout the week, moving from one activity to another and camping at different sites. The Boranup Forest provided the perfect backdrop for this adventure, offering diverse landscapes and challenging terrains that tested the students' physical and mental capacity.

The itinerary was carefully crafted to provide a well-rounded outdoor experience. Each group of students participated in two thrilling abseiling sessions (WI16, Wilyabrup Seacliffs, Calgardup Cave), conquering the heights with courage and determination. The expedition also featured two captivating caving experiences (Giants Cave, Lake Cave, and Calgardup Cave), allowing students to explore the subterranean world.

The adventure continued with a bushtucker canoeing tour, a unique blend of outdoor exploration and cultural discovery. Paddling through the serene waters of Margaret River, students learned about the rich flora and fauna of the region while gaining insights into the traditional uses of native plants and local history. The megafauna tour added an extra layer of excitement as students encountered the remnants of ancient giants that once roamed the Australian landscape.

Hiking, an integral part of the expedition, challenged students to traverse varying terrains, fostering a sense of endurance and teamwork. Each step became a testament to their growing resilience and grit as they navigated the forest. The expedition aimed to provide thrilling outdoor experiences and push students beyond their comfort zones, fostering personal growth and self-discovery.

What stood out during the expedition was each student's remarkable display of resilience and grit. Challenges were met with determination, and obstacles were transformed into opportunities for growth. The immersive nature of the expedition facilitated individual development and strengthened the bonds within the groups, creating a sense of unity and cohesion that will undoubtedly last a lifetime.

The Outdoor Adventure Studies Expedition of 2023 will be remembered not just as a week in the forest but as a transformative journey that left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all who participated.

Next year, we are introducing a series of before-school career-focused sessions for our Senior School students and are looking for Old Scholars (former students) or parents who can assist.

If you are comfortable speaking to groups of students and willing to share your experiences of studying, working and life after high school, we'd love to hear from you. Please note that at this stage, we are looking to create a register of potential speakers with the aim of rolling these events out in Semester 1, 2024.

Please contact Amanda Kemp via email for further information or if you'd like to join the register to share your experiences.

It is vital that all instruments are taken home from the Music Department by Friday 1 December at the latest. The only instruments at school in Week 9 should be those of students who are playing for Presentation Ceremonies, and they must be taken home at the conclusion of the event. If you are finishing up lessons this year and need to return an instrument, please return it to your tutor at the conclusion of your last lesson or hand it to your ensemble director if you are performing at a Presentation Ceremony.

Please note that all students should be taking their instruments home the same day after lessons or rehearsals and should not be leaving their instruments at school all week or over the weekend. Regular practice is so important for musicians, and if a student is not practising in between lessons, they are not getting the full value out of their lessons! Regular practice equals consistent improvement, which leads to greater student satisfaction and higher levels of engagement 鈥� positive reinforcement all around! We have sadly noticed an increase in instruments left forlornly in the storeroom and would love to see our storeroom empty at the end of each day, especially on Friday afternoons.
