What's on

TERM 3

School commences back on July 13th for Term 3. Students have already been working on their new timetable so will be well into the swing of things at the start of the new term. Term 3 is a busy one with the eisteddfod, deb ball and annual music concert and art/technology showcase as some of the main events. We look forward to a fruitful Semester 2. Scholl reports will be sent home at the end of this week, with a Pelican's Progress and a students information sheet which we require parents to checjk to see that we have current up to date info on contact phone numbers, emergency contacts, panadol approval and more. This is a yellow sheet in the report folder.

Finally we hope all students have a fun and restful break.

BUSY TERM

Term 3 will be extremely busy with the local speech, vocal and instrumental eisteddfod in August, the Deb Ball on August 15th and the Annual Music concert and Art/Tech Showcase in early Septemeber. This year the concert will be a celebration of 20 years of the music program at Yarram Secondary College, and we are looking for former students and teachers of the program to attend on the night. If you were one of these people, or you know where to find them, please conatct Robyn Knight at the school. or 5182 5522. The music students will also be attending a performance at Hamer Hall at the Arts Centre on July 27th as part of the celebrations.

YEAR 7 INFORMATION EVENING

A very successful Information Evening for all prospective Yarram Secondary College students and their parents  was held in June and  resulted in very positive vibes around the community.

Students from Grades 3-6 at local primary schools were invited to attend the informative evening. The evening  commenced with a tour of the school facilities  followed by a short presentation in the Hot House. The school Stage Band provided entertainment, and parents and prospective students were able to talk to staff.  

If you could not make the evening and would to see around the school facilities please contact the school to make arrangements for a tour.

 BEAUTIFICATION

Students and staff are constantly working around the school to beautify the place. We have had a new bike shed errected with students making and fitting the bike racks, the old room 16 was painted and new garden beds have been planted with more work being done each week. Well done to those students involved.

 

Year 9 Camps

All Year 9s have now completed their Prom Hikes. The students spend 3 days hiking around the prom and back, pitching tents and cooking for themselves. Students in 9C struck bad weather, but they came through with flying colours. The hikes are part of the Community Program undertaken by the Year 9's throughout the year. In 2nd semester, students will partake in other activities including community, fishing, sailing and the  Great Victorian Bike Ride.
