Arnhem Land Pre-Departure Learning
This week, in preparation for our cultural immersion in Term 2, Yr 9 commenced their Arnhem Land pre-departure learning. Provided below is an overview of our Pastoral Care learning program students will work through prior to departure. This week, students tested their local indigenious knowledge and researched key indigenous Sydney locations. This video provides a sample of student discussions held in reflection to a quiz on local indigenous knowledge, along with personal expectations and excitement about our upcoming trip. Thank you to Daniel, Lucy and Sarah for sharing their thoughts.

SchoolTV: The Importance of Sleep in Teenagers
Sleep research shows that a teenager needs between nine and ten hours of sleep every night. Yet most teens are sleeping only about seven or eight hours a night on average. Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to reduced alertness and concentration, poorer academic performance and feelings of sadness and irritability. This article explores some tips for teens to promote a good night’s sleep.
