Way to go, Zachary!

Teachers and parents are invited to join the 成人短片's community "In Conversation" with Dr Mark Williams as he discusses the teen brain and modern technology.

Learning outcomes, resilience, curiosity, tolerance, and emotional intelligence are all declining, whilst stress, anxiety, depression and suicide are rising. Money and technology alone are not the answer to innovative practices in our schools. We need a significant shift in our understanding. Teachers will learn how our brains learn and adapt and why modern technology is affecting students鈥� learning and wellbeing. We will discuss the current assumptions about technology in schools and how independent research has shown that many of these ideas are actually wrong.

About Dr Mark Williams:

Mark鈥檚 new book, 鈥淭he Connected Species: How Understanding the Evolution of Our Brain Can Change the World,鈥� is a #1 Best Seller.

With an extensive academic background in brain research and teaching, Mark has worked with thousands of students, teachers, health professionals, and company directors keen to understand how their brain works and how to perform optimally and maintain a healthy brain. He runs programs on the neuroscience of learning, the neuroscience of emotions, how our brains create our reality, and the impact of modern technologies on our brains.

Dr Williams is a professor of cognitive neuroscience with over 25 years of experience conducting behavioural and brain imaging research focusing on our social skills. He has received numerous awards for both his teaching and research. He has taught the fundamentals of neuroscience to a wide range of students, as well as published more than 70 scientific articles and worked at MIT in the USA and multiple universities in Australia.

He draws on his extensive scientific background to work with schools, companies and the public to develop evidence-based practices using neuroscience to enhance our education, work and personal lives. His work has been highlighted in the media both locally [e.g., Mirror Mirror (Channel Ten), Our Brain, Magic and the Brain, Music and the Brain, Making Australia Happy (ABC), Sunrise (Channel 7), Screen Time is Affecting Learning (SkyNews)] and internationally [e.g., The Guardian (UK), New York Times (USA), Economist, New Scientist, Leading Edge, (BBC: UK), Science in Action (BBC; International)].

Well done to Moyes, who came second, Carnley in third and Challen in fourth.

Well done to everyone for a fabulous day full of team spirit and awesome camaraderie.

We will have a spotlight on the day in next week's newsletter.

Thank you to all the families who supported the Ping Pongathon last week.

Thanks so much again for your overwhelming generosity!

The results are in, and oh boy, was it worth the wait!

Challen House emerged as the triumphant victors of this year's Secondary Interhouse Athletics Carnival. They managed to secure their victory by just pipping Carnley House at the post, proving that every step truly counts! Not far behind, we have Moyes House and Watkins House securing the third and fourth spots, respectively.

It was an intense competition all around, with each House giving their absolute best and pushing their limits to the max. The dedication and enthusiasm on display were awesome, and it's clear that everyone poured their heart and soul into the event, making it a day to remember.

Not only were PBs beaten, but our School records were shattered left and right - well done to all the students who achieved these impressive feats.

From sprints to long jumps, from throws to relays, all our athletes showcased their exceptional talent and hard work.

A huge round of applause to everyone who participated, supported, and cheered on the sidelines! Your energy and sportsmanship made this Carnival an unforgettable experience.

New Athletics Records for 成人短片's

You can have a look at the snapshot of the day .

On Friday 8 成人短片, Watkins House will be holding its annual fundraiser, Sock it to Sarcoma!!

FEW people have ever heard of sarcomas 鈥� but that number is growing thanks to the work of Sock it to Sarcoma! Sarcomas are a group of rare bone and soft tissue cancers that are aggressive and often strike children and young people for no apparent reason. Sock it to Sarcoma! raises funds to support medical research in Western Australia, promotes awareness and educates the community about sarcomas, and provides support and care for patients and their families throughout their sarcoma journey.

So, how can you help ... Year 6 - 12 students are encouraged to wear your Funky Socks with your House Uniform for a gold coin donation. There will also be a bake sale at recess in the floreat for Middle School and Cafeteria for Senior School Students.

A group of Year 11s swapped their school bag for a sleeping bag and took part in the annual School Sleep Out at Optus Stadium. They joined over 500 students from 21 schools and braved the cold to experience a side of homelessness that they had never considered before.

In the lead-up to the event, the Anglicare Ambassadors organised a range of fundraising events to go towards Street Connect, a service that works with young people on the streets of Perth to help them get their lives back on track. Through the school fundraisers (成人短片鈥檚 Day sausage sizzle, Hoodies for Homeless Day and a bake sale) and the generosity of the 成人短片鈥檚 community, we were able to raise $8,395!

Here is a rundown of the night from Anglicare Ambassador Demi Van Rensburg.

On the 11th of August, 20 of us students made our way to Optus Stadium for the Anglicare Sleepout. As we entered Optus, we were given lanyards with different names on them representing homeless youth. Our first activity included these lanyards. I had to meet up with other students from different schools who had the same lanyard as mine, and together, we took on the identity of a homeless person. As a group, we got to experience the everyday struggles and hardships a homeless person experiences, such as being turned away from Centrelink multiple times because of inadequate information, visiting the post office for identification purposes, trying to find somewhere to sleep and visiting food stalls for a meal. This activity made me realise how easily homeless people and their needs are overlooked. After a small cup of soup, I headed to bed, which was my sleeping bag on a piece of cardboard, and even though I had multiple layers of warm clothes on, I was still cold. Lying there made me realise how lucky I am and all the things I have to be grateful for. The sleepout was such an amazing and thought-provoking experience, and I am really proud to have been part of it. I cannot recommend the Sleepout enough, and hopefully, next year, the Year 11鈥檚 can fundraise as much as we did or even do better!

Thank you to everyone who has supported our students and contributed to such a worthy cause.

We are excited to announce that tickets are now on sale for the 成人短片鈥檚 Primary Production of Honk! Jr for 2023.

Fostering a nurturing environment of respectful relationships within your family holds the key to not only harmonious living but also improved academic outcomes for your children. As parents and caregivers, embracing the art of teaching children about respect at a young age sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy interactions and empathetic understanding. It will help cultivate a positive environment where communication flourishes, conflicts are resolved constructively, and bonds are fortified.

Teaching children to respect themselves and others will open up avenues for both personal growth and academic achievement. Fostering an environment where respect is not just a word but a practised behaviour will empower young people with essential life skills. Effective communication, active listening, and the art of compromise will provide your child with a solid foundation that will transcend family interactions and help them collaborate effectively with peers, teachers and the broader community.

Equipping children with an understanding of healthy versus unhealthy relationships is an important aspect of their development. It will guide them to make informed choices, foster positive connections, and set boundaries that contribute to their emotional wellbeing. Understanding the nuances between healthy and unhealthy relationships provides children with the essential tools to navigate their social world, build self-esteem, and cultivate meaningful relationships.

In this edition of SchoolTV, learn how to empower young people in healthy interactions to embrace differences and forge connections that honour their self-worth. We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered in this month鈥檚 edition, and we always welcome your feedback.

If you do have any concerns about the wellbeing of your child, please contact the school for further information or seek medical or professional help.
