This week in SWP, our students engaged in a variety of thought-provoking and practical activities across all year levels. 

Year 8, guided by Mr Pyle, Head of PDHPE tackled the complex topic of body image, exploring how societal expectations and media messages influence adolescents during this period of change. Year 9 embraced the theme of courage, reflecting on personal experiences and identifying the qualities they admire in small acts of bravery that they can practice daily. Year 10 began the first of two insightful sessions on navigating difficult conversations, delving into the ‘who, when, why, and how’ alongside conversation techniques for being assertive, progressive, and confident communicators. Year 11 were introduced to the Careers Department website by Ms Fletcher and Mr McDonnell, to aid their research and decision-making for future career paths. Please ask them to show you around the website as it is highly valuable resource. Finally, our Year 12 students focused on their respective streams: DP students dedicated time to their CAS projects with Ms Schmidtke, while HSC students benefitted from a panel of HSC markers, led by Mr Harrison, offering invaluable preparation for upcoming assessments.
