Wellbeing
We know that this year with the continuation of the pandemic that people including students may need some additional support to be successful at school.
Keep in mind that children can express their feelings in many ways. We encourage you to speak openly with your children about what they are feeling.
As a parent or carer you can help your child with what they’re experiencing:
* Listen to their concerns – let them know you’re there for them and acknowledge how they’re feeling
* Make time to talk – provide an space for them to share their feelings and worries.
* Focus on strengths and hope.
There are a range of online and face-to-face services that can help you support your child. ACT Health has put together a page of information that families may find useful: Ways you can support your own mental health and wellbeing | Health (act.gov.au)

News and About Our School

The Global Classroom Partnership is an international initiative begun 20 years ago. Students from participating schools around the globe research and prepare assigned tasks on a set theme to present at the conference. The emphasis is on sharing learning between schools, with the ethos that students can ‘learn locally but think globally’. The theme for 2022 was ‘Ways of Learning’.

Check out these incredible images from our Creativity in Photography class! We’ve been learning about New Vision photography, a genre that was founded in the 1920s by László Moholy-Nagy. The goal is simple; play with camera angles to transform every day scenery. These students absolutely nailed it!

Staff Planning Days (pupil free)
07 Jun 2022Dear school community
The ACT Government is supporting all ACT public schools to hold two staff planning days during term 2.
These days will provide public school teachers with some extra space to complete student reporting, moderation and lesson planning.
Our school will hold staff planning days on:
- Tuesday 7 June 2022.
Students do not attend school on these days.
Students who need to attend school will be supervised while undertaking general learning activities.
Please confirm via phone on 02 6142022 or email lakeg@ed.act.edu.au if your child will be attending school on these days.
These days also enable students to work on assessment and consolidate the term’s learning with study at home.
If you have any further questions about our staff planning days, please contact the College.
