Variation to the School Day - Wednesday 7 AugustIn an analysis commissioned by the Department ‘collective efficacy’ was found to be one of the top predictors of student achievement.
Mr Greg Cameron from the Centre of Creative Leadership, Colorado Springs USA, will be working in our school during this term. On Wednesday, Greg will be conducting an interactive session with us that will build staff capacity and understanding of ‘collective efficacy’. It is very important that all staff have the opportunity to be involved in this event. The school day will conclude on Wednesday 7 August at the end of period 5. All students will be dismissed at 2:13pm. Regards, Jillian English Principal Parents - Update Your DetailsAs email is one of the main forms of communication through the school, it is important that we have the correct personal details on file.
To ensure you don’t miss out on any correspondence from the college, please make sure you check and update any changes to your email address as soon as possible. You can update your details by logging in to Compass, or use the Contact Form on this website. Help updating through Compass is available here. Senior Girls NetballOur Senior Girls Netball team played off in the Western Zone finals on Tuesday at Altona Netball stadium.
After winning the Moonee Valley division comfortably the next level of competition was a huge step up. We had very creditable and intense games against Melton SC and Maribyrnong SC but unfortunately lost both. Members of the team were Kardelen Corkhill, Eliza Nicholas, Milla Watson, Annie Stavrakis, Maddie Bosio and Kate Phillips our school Netball captain. All of these year 12 girls have played in the school netball program since year 7 and I thank them for their contributions and efforts in representing the school. Year 11 team members were Maeve Bousie, Niamh Whelan and Meagan Cecchini. Thank you girls for a great effort. Mrs Shaw
Year 7 and 8 Athletics CarnivalOn Thursday the 15th of August, Strathmore Secondary College will be holding our annual year seven and eight athletics carnival at the Moonee Valley Athletics centre in Moonee Ponds. The carnival will be run in the same format as last year with students signing up for the events prior to the day. Students will complete an online preference form allowing them to choose at least two track and two field events to compete in (total of four events). Students may compete in an additional four events on the day (two track and two field, equalling to a total of eight events) if they wish. All students who compete will earn points towards their team’s overall score. The online preference form will be completed in Health and PE classes.
This year, we are heavily promoting team spirit and are encouraging students to come dressed in their team colours. Each team will also organise a group of students to compete in the 100m mixed relay race at the end of the meet. At the end of the day all team points will be calculated and the winning team will be presented with the Athletics Cup. Argyll will be attempting a three-peat having won the cup in 2017 and 18. It is important to know that the carnival will be used as a qualifying round for students to be selected as part of the Strathmore Secondary College Athletics Team who will compete at the Moonee Valley Athletics meet on the Tuesday the 3rd of September. The compass event for the Athletics Carnival is open for payment and consent to be given. The compass event will close on Tuesday the 13th of August at midnight. Thank you to those who have already completed this. I’m looking forward to what will be a wonderful and rewarding day for all students! Jed Miller Interschool Sport Coordinator
