In Week 9, selected Aveley students in their Physical Education lessons were given the opportunity to participate in a Touch rugby clinic hosted by RugbyWA. Students learnt how to work together as a team while building their game skills.
Our Year 9 and 10 Foods classes have gotten into the spirit of Christmas by creating a range of gingerbread treats. Year 9s learned the basics, making families of gingerbread men with designs they had worked on in class. Year 10s built on these skills by constructing A Frame gingerbread houses, putting their construction and team building skills to the test!
The inaugural ASC Inter-house Performing Arts Competition showcased the impressive talent of our students, who worked tirelessly in their house teams to rehearse and perform numbers from some of the most beloved musicals. Each team gave their all, bringing energy and creativity to the stage!
After a fierce competition, Quenda House emerged victorious, taking home first place in what was an incredibly close contest. Congratulations to all the performers for their hard work and dedication!
Year 7 AEP students had the opportunity to meet Cr Aaron Bowman, a council member for the Pearce Ward in the City of Swan.
During a Q&A session, Mr Bowman discussed his role, upcoming and ongoing projects, and provided insights into the challenges faced by the council.
Students gained a deeper understanding of local government, his work in politics, and the impact of council decisions on our community!
After a slight delay, the Aveley SC Music Showcase and Awards Night came back with more power to deliver an outstanding performance that highlighted the development of the ASC Music department!
Highlights of the evening included an outstanding opening set by our rock band, The Rogue Traders; a wonderful performance of Alone in the Universe from Seussical the Musical by the ASC Choir and 7/8 IMSS classes; amazing solos by Alicia Mills (Year 10), Addison Scott (Year 8 ) and Liliana Tubbs (Year 7); and an outstanding performance by our concert bands to close out the evening.
The evening finished with our inaugural Music awards, highlighting excellence in music performance and ensemble work. Congratulations to our winners!
Year 9 students were offered the opportunity to take part in an ‘Early Career Discovery’ program at Northbridge TAFE.
This course provided students with early exposure to career options and pathways, enabling students to make informed and realistic decisions about future pathways.
By taking part in a combination of activities, workbooks and brand-new Virtual Reality headsets, students were able to do a deep dive into career exploration, which will support their focus and understanding of the need for education going into Year 10 next year.
A select group of Year 9 and 10 students from the netball specialist class competed in the Hills Cup Carnival! Students were tasked with umpiring, coaching and managing their own teams and given the skills to tactically create scoring opportunities to help them succeed.
With the weather on our side, the two teams were handed some difficult challenges, but held their own as they placed in the top 4 positions for both their divisions, both securing a place in the final’s rounds. Our Year 9 team placed 2nd, and our Year 10 team placed 4th! We are so looking forward to taking another group with us next year.
The Sports Elite Program awards night was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the success of our students over the past year. The theme of the night was ‘More than Gold’ – highlighting that it is more than winning and what is just as important is the values and character that is displayed.
Principal Stephen Pestana encouraged the students in displaying our college mutual agreements of respect, appreciation, perseverance and responsibility in sport.
Following this our guest speaker Stacey Francis-Bayman (England international netball player and West Coast Fever) talked about the importance of staying true to what your values even in adversity. Congratulations to all award winners!
Students from Room 4 in the Ed Support Hub visited Woolworths to purchase non-perishable items for donation to Seeds of Hope Services Inc. Seeds of Hope, a wonderful Perth-based non-profit charity. Seeds of Hope provides meals, food parcels, clothing, and blankets to support the homeless community in our city. This initiative is part of our school’s annual effort to give back.
Additionally, the students in the Ed Support Hub have been collecting donations from home over the past few weeks to assist those in need. As a class, we are committed to making a difference this Christmas, and we will continue our collection efforts over the next two weeks.
Students in the Year 10 Business Entrepreneurship class have been working hard this term to plan the 2024 ASC donut sale! In groups, students were tasked with writing a business plan to document their ideas around donut design, marketing and finances.
The donut stall was a huge success, where a huge crowd gathered to enjoy the event! Thanks to the hard work of the students, $500.00 was raised for the Movember Australia Foundation, which was the charity chosen by the class to receive all proceeds. We are looking forward to next year’s event!
