Important Dates

From the Principal's Desk

This Friday, the 30th of May, is a school development day and students do not attend school. All staff will attend a conference at the Perth Convention Centre organised by our network and the Education Support North Network. We expect 1300 delegates to participate in sessions on disability related teaching and learning. Mrs Whittington and I are on the conference committee, and it has been a lot of work getting the event organised, but we are optimistic that it will be successful. Thanks to Mrs Buchan, our MCS, who helped with sponsorship.

This week, the school supported National Reconciliation Week with the theme Bridging Now to Next. As part of our RAP plan, we have several activities for staff and students across both campuses, including tribal tucker, art project mural, dancing performances and yarning circles. Our senior students took part in the Djarlgaara yarning project on Monday. We also hope to get some signage up around the school in Noongar. Mrs Spadanuda and the RAP committee have consulted with language experts and Aboriginal designers for the signs.

Last Friday, the school raised over $350 for the Cancer Council. We held our annual Biggest Morning Tea in the recreation room at the middle school campus. Staff brought in plates of food, and the year 10s also cooked and ran the morning tea. Students enjoyed eating the delicious fare on offer. We also ran a raffle, which was very successful. Well done to everyone involved.

We are also part of the Premier's Telethon challenge, with Mrs Whelan’s class working with Mr Arrantash on our Containers for Change program. It's so important that we involve ourselves in the local community as a school. Our students have abilities and skills that deserve to be shared with others.

We provide lots of opportunities for our students here at Cannington. We often have incursions, including visits from artists, storytellers and sporting stars. At the recent West Coast Eagles visit, one of our senior students even got the captain of the Eagles, Oscar Allen, to sign his footy cap—the amazing thing was that the cap was from the Fremantle Dockers! Well done, Cameil!

P&C Day WA was started by WACSSO in 2019 as a day for school communities to give thanks to their P&C for all their hard work and contributions. The day was celebrated by schools, parliament members, and other education stakeholders throughout Western Australia, with a range of different events being held to show appreciation for P&C members. I would like to thank our small but dedicated P&C we share with CCC and in particular Mrs Turner the president.

WA Student Assistance Payment provides all the information you need to make a claim. Parents and caregivers have until July 4th to make a claim. Please contact the middle or senior school front offices if you need further assistance.

The weather changes as we enter Makuru, the southwest's coldest and wettest time of the year. Traditionally, this was a good time of the year to move back inland from the coast as the winds turned to the west and south, bringing the cold weather, rains and occasionally snow on the peaks of the Stirling and Porongurup Ranges. Our students look great in their uniforms, and it's essential that they continue to wear them and not come to school in windcheaters and hoodies that are a different colour.

Happy WA Day – enjoy the holiday!

Class Updates

7RW

Our class has been surprised at how fast term 2 has rushed on by. We spent some time thinking about what we have done and accomplished over the first part of the term. These are the highlights that each student has recalled when thinking about our term so far:

Ethan – I have enjoyed learning how to use Book Creator on the iPad. I made an iBook about Transperth buses and trains.

Yahya – I enjoyed playing Basketball with the Wildcats Player that came out to our school.

Dylan – I have enjoyed going to D & T with Mr Arrantash – we are making robots this term.

Perry – I enjoyed meeting the Eagles players when they came out to do a workshop with us.

Iman – I love hanging out with Syifa. We were able to talk to new parents of year 6 students from Cloverdale for Mrs Houden.

Michael – I enjoy being the Climate Control Monitor for our classroom – I get to turn the fans and air conditioners on and off depending on whether we need them or not.

Cooper – I love making cheese scrolls in cooking and meeting the player that came from the Wildcats.

Rocco – I have enjoyed learning about my Community in ASDAN.

Syifa – I really like cooking with Mrs Harris.

Ryan – I enjoy the new air hockey game – I like playing with Cooper on it.

Jahmeel – I really like borrowing books about cars when I go to the library.

Each week, as part of our weekend recount in literacy, we create a word cloud that reflects our weekend. This word cloud reflects our Mother’s Day weekend.

It has been a busy term, with many interesting things happening at school. It has been great to see the social connections that our students have continued to build with each other over the course of the year so far. A gentle reminder that it is quickly turning into sniffle season: if your child is unwell, please don’t hesitate to keep them at home until they are feeling better.

Hello everyone from 7VL,

The first few weeks of Term Two have been filled with many activities. We had members of the West Coast Eagles and Perth Wildcats visit and participate in a football clinic.

As part of our IGNITE program, we have made dog treat puzzle ball toys and biscuits for the Shenton Park Dog Rescue. For Literacy and Numeracy, students have been shopping at CANDO, giving directions, making Play Dough, and continuing to cook food from around the world. The favourite food so far has been Greek Loukamades (Greek donuts), with American hot dogs a close second.

During Science and HASS, they have continued learning about plant lifecycles and exploring languages around the world. They have also continued working on their 3D models for Art.

Everyone is looking forward to the extra long weekend! There will be no school on Friday, Week Five, or Monday, Week Six!

We hope everyone has had a great start to the term!

The first three weeks have flown by! Many students have been sick, and I've been off for the past two weeks with broken ribs after a fall at school, so it's been a very disjointed time. However, the students have coped marvellously and have had the support and guidance from our wonderful EAs, Mrs. Dann, Mr. Egan, Mr. Reeves, and Mrs. Reid.

During these past few weeks, the students have enjoyed making a 2-D and 3-D marble run in the maths sessions, creating some wonderful stories using story dice as prompts, and loving their Friday maths and literacy cooking sessions. The students particularly liked making and eating the British Flapjacks.

Making British Flapjacks

Thanks to all the wonderful contributions of blankets, sheets, doonas, towels, and pillowcases from staff and students, the students will visit the Armadale Community Animal Rescue Group at the end of the term to donate these items as part of their IGNITE award community service.

I hope to be back at school on Monday, May 26th, so that we can start planning and organising the upcoming Market Day. 

Annie Foyster and 8AF

We had a relaxed and enjoyable term break, and it was good to return to school and get into the routines again. Term 2 has been hectic so far, and it is hard to believe we are nearly halfway through it already.

In literacy and numeracy, we are working on our IEP goals through activities and lessons in small groups within the classroom.

We are still working on our 3D animal project in Art, which we started midway through term 1. We are currently painting our animals, making sure to get the right colour to make them look as close to the original picture as possible. They look amazing, and we are nearly at the final stage of the project.

We were fortunate to have Mr Pestell organise a few sports clinics for us this term. In week 2, we had an AFL clinic. Meeting some of the West Coast Eagles players and taking a picture with them was fun. We also got a team poster signed by the players to take home. In week 3, we had The Wild Cats visit us and had fun refreshing our basketball skills. In week 4, we had another footy clinic where we all enjoyed learning footy rules and skills.

Footy with West Coast Eagles players

Olivia Gregan, our school OT, recently visited our classroom and talked to us about brain breaks and how they help us recharge and transition smoothly to a new activity or lesson. It was an interesting presentation and a great discussion. We shared and discussed different types of activities that each of us enjoys during breaks.

We have many important events coming up in the following weeks.

Market Day on Friday, week 9.

End of term assembly hosted by the Year 7’s and 8’s on Monday, week 10.

Middle School Athletics Carnival with the college on Thursday, week 10.

We are looking forward to participating and enjoying these events.

So far this semester, students have been learning and sharing basic phrases in different languages. Our Focus language for the past few weeks has been Cebuano, a native language of the island of Cebu, Philippines. Ron has taught us how to count from 1 to 10, use basic introductions and greetings in Cebuano, and name a range of feelings. This week, we will be focusing on Arabic with the help of Fuad.

As always, we’ve been busy. Xander, Adam, Louise, and Monty have been happy to share their favourite things from Term 2.

Students returned from their breaks ready to learn with relief to cover Mrs Martlew’s long service leave.  It was great to see how the students dealt with this change to their regular routines, and how they were very helpful towards Mrs Song and Ms Smith.  Well done, 9MS students.

Before we discuss this term, let’s take some time to reflect on Week 10 of last term. The school hosted a beautiful ceremony for ANZAC Day with special guests including Justin Martin from Djurandi Dreaming. 9MS students prepared for this event by learning about what, who, when, where, how and why of ANZAC Day. It was great to see the students participate in the assembly in a mature manner and reflect on how we are fortunate to be living in these times.

This term, students prepared for National Reconciliation Week (NRW) from Week 1 by learning about some significant events in Australia’s history and looking at the school’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). The students recognised that we can all play a part in making things better in our spheres, starting with our school environments. They listened to Solid Rock by Goanna, this year’s NRW theme song, and researched other songs/artists linked to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The songs were shared and played during recess and lunch. Students accessed Wingaru, an excellent online resource that allows differentiated learning opportunities specific to NRW.

The AFL Clinics supported students’ access and engagement with ball skills and good teamwork attitudes. Students had a talented guide from AFL WA to support their skills, and all had fun spending time with 9CL. These opportunities to try different sports give our students the confidence to consider hobbies / extracurricular activities outside of school. 

Our students had the opportunity to participate as consumers in CCC’s primary school’s Mother’s Day stall. These inclusive activities provide our students with the chance to engage with their mainstream peers and to use their shopping skills. We hope the special mums/women in our students’ lives were spoiled on Mother’s Day.

The Biggest Morning Tea on Friday, 23rd May, was an excellent opportunity for our students to support the Cancer Council’s fundraising efforts and our Year 10 students, who used the hours for their community service program. Students had so many options to choose from, and it was an absolute food festival! Thank you to all for contributing to this worthwhile initiative.

It has been a great start to the term. Seeing the students happy and consistently attending school every day is pleasing.

During literacy, students researched the different types of work industries in Australia. They also researched some facts about cancer in preparation for the upcoming biggest morning tea event.

In numeracy, our students completed their 2nd assessment task by surveying their peers and then completing a column graph to determine which month students were born.

Students visited SERCUL as part of their community service program. They used a rake to clear the footpath, pruned some trees, collected some rubbish and did some weeding.

In Duke of Ed, students learnt about satellite communication and its pivotal role in the community.

It’s been a busy and exciting start to Term 2! Our students have been involved in various activities inside and outside the classroom.

We started the term with recreational pursuits, including fun and engaging bowling sessions. Students also gave back to the community by participating in a community service project at SERCUL, where they helped plant native plants to support the environment. As part of their ongoing contribution, students also washed the school bus—a great team effort that helped keep our vehicles clean and ready for use!

Having fun bowling 

To celebrate Mother’s Day, students prepared and took home potted plants as gifts for their mums. It was a lovely gesture, and everyone enjoyed getting their hands dirty while showing appreciation.

A highlight of the term was a special visit from West Coast Eagles players, which brought great excitement to the school. Mitchell especially enjoyed meeting the players and chatting with them.

We also had a visit from the Perth Wildcats and a basketball clinic that got everyone moving! Our students participated enthusiastically and showed great team spirit and energy on the court.

In English, students completed a play all about community rules. Beau took a leadership role and did an excellent job organising and directing the performance.

Our high-ability students have been exploring the topic of vaping, conducting research into why people vape and the associated health effects.

In Maths, students have been learning about money and budgeting. They were given a scenario where they had to plan a budget for a movie outing with a friend, including snacks – a great real-life learning task that everyone enjoyed.

We are now preparing for the Biggest Morning Tea to support the Cancer Council. Students have been involved in planning, creating decorations, and preparing some delicious treats to share. It’s an excellent opportunity to build community spirit while supporting an important cause.

We’re proud of the enthusiasm and effort our students have shown so far this term. Stay tuned for more updates!

This term, we have been extra busy already! 

We have been busy making our enterprise product, enjoying HPE options, going on excursions and participating in incursions at school.

In Week 3, we had some Eagles players and visitors from the Perth Wildcats visit the school.

HPE has been very busy, with everyone enjoying different activities each Monday afternoon. On Tuesdays, our friends from 7RW have been visiting us, and we enjoy social games with them.

A few students have visited the local community as part of their ITP goals.  CD and Zak have enjoyed visiting different shops and buying a healthy lunch.

With semester 1 almost finished, we have been super busy in class finishing our semester 1 work and getting ready for semester 2.

11CG’s workplace learning placements are nearly complete for this semester, and many students are looking forward to a new workplace next semester.

Since our last newsletter article, we've been busy with many exciting activities! Our students are preparing for life after school, and most have already secured employment in a work placement. Huge thanks to Mrs Pears and her team for making this happen.

We've had incredible visits from the West Coast Eagles, the Wildcats, and a special guest speaker who shared his inspiring journey and novel. Thank you, Brendan, for your time and wisdom! 

In addition to academics, sport, Keys4Life, and cooking, our students have been developing their life skills through travel training. They have learned how to navigate public transport and successfully catch buses to Victoria Park Shopping Centre. Let's hope our teacher trainer doesn’t miss the bus stop next time!

Overall, it’s been an amazing and productive time for everyone.

School Based Traineeships

Congratulations to Robbie Burton and Jayden Keymer on receiving a School-based Traineeship at Jason Windows. This is a very exciting achievement for both Robbie and Jayden, who attend their workplace every Monday.

Essential Personnel

Congratulations to Devyn Smith, Oliver Blake, and Edmund Dann, who have been chosen to undertake a 6 week course at Essential Personnel in Victoria Park. These students will be taught skills that will benefit them in gaining future workplace opportunities. We look forward to hearing about all their experiences.

West Coast Eagles Visit

On Monday, May 5, we were so lucky to have the West Coast Eagles visit CCESC. We were very surprised when Captain Oscar Allen, Dom Sheed, Tom Cole, and other younger players ran a football clinic with our students. One highlight was having the players sign a poster for each student and hand out some football merchandise.

HPE Activities

Each Monday in Period 4, our class participates in the HPE program, which allows students to engage in many activities, including bike riding, swimming, basketball, music, and social games. Jack and Hannah are always keen to go to the Leisureplex for swimming. Our activities will change in two weeks, and students will have the opportunity to try 10-pin bowling, pool, swimming, basketball, and dance. Further information to follow!

Workplace Learning and Friday Electives

It is wonderful to see our students having opportunities to gain many skills and experience for the future. Currently, our students are taking part in the following work placements and electives each Friday:

Our students have had a fantastic start to the term, demonstrating maturity, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude in all areas of school life. Their dedication has been evident across workplace learning placements, elective classes, academic work, and HPE sports activities.

Employers have praised students for their eagerness to learn, and many students have discovered just how capable they are in real-world settings. Several students are also enrolled in TAFE courses, participating in hands-on, practical learning experiences that enhance their skills and confidence.

A special highlight this term was the AFL incursion, where students could meet and learn from local football players. It was a fantastic experience that brought energy and excitement to our learning program!

Ryan, Hugh and Cameil meeting West Coast Eagles players

Every student has contributed something unique to our school community, and we couldn’t be prouder of their progress. Well done to all our students for their hard work and commitment!

Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated class staff team—you make a difference every day, and your support is genuinely appreciated.

We look forward to an exciting and successful year ahead!

Design and Technology

Year 7 Woodwork

Year 7 woodwork students have completed their finger cars and started making the wooden robot. This model requires students to use the drill press to drill holes so that all body parts can be tied together.

Year 8 Woodwork

Year 8 woodwork students have just completed their pot holder project, which called for lots of accurate measuring and cutting. The next project is a wooden jewellery box, which is the main model for year eight. This project involves students fitting hinges and a hasp and staple set. The jewellery box is a popular project with students as it can also be adapted for many other purposes. Often, our students like a space to store their special things!

Working hard, making jewellery boxes

Year 9 Woodwork

Year 9 Woodwork students have started making money box trucks. There are many separate parts to make before this model can be assembled. This project is where working drawings are introduced to students for the first time. Students and the teacher work together to interpret the plans and use them to mark out the timber needed to make the project. Many students can see the 2D working drawing turning into a 3D model.

Duke of Edinburgh Award

Year 10s have been busy learning about reading topographical maps showing the ground's shape. Students demonstrated their learning by creating mountains and valleys with sand. Wool was then used as contour lines spaced to reflect steep and gentle slopes. Students have also used handheld GPS units to find pre-set waypoints as part of a treasure hunt on a nearby council oval. Students are also learning to tie knots, which is an important life skill. Lily was very proud of herself after tying a clove hitch.

Tradestart

Tradestart students have completed their sheet metal toolboxes. All of the students have become masters at using pop rivet guns and drills to fit rivets. The class has just started to make a folding camping shovel. The first step is to practice marking out the complicated shape of the blade on paper. The shape is then cut out and folded into shape. This gives students a good understanding before marking a steel version, which is more difficult on a shiny, hard surface. In the workshop, students used a friction cutter to cut the other components for the shovel and hand tools to begin shaping them.

Mark Arrantash

Physical Education

It’s already been an action-packed Term in Physical Education. AFL is our current focus sport, with years 7, 8 and 9 enthusiastically working on their skills during P.E. lessons. We have a KALABILITY AFL carnival in week 6 (4^TH June), with many students competing for a limited number of places. Middle school students have benefited from AFL coaching incursions, including a visit from some Eagles players. We were also lucky enough to be visited by a representative from the Wildcats, who helped work on our basketball skills.

The mainstream Athletics carnival is in week 10, and two weeks before this, we are having coaches visit our school to upskill our students. All our incursions into the various sports are made possible due to grants from Sporting Schools (thanks, Mr Hussein, for your help organising everything)! Also, classes have had to complete physical skill tests for their semester 1 reports.

Our year 10s have begun ten-pin Bowling during Recreational Pursuits. All students behaved well, applying themselves and having fun as they improved their bowling skills.

In years 11 and 12, students have been working well during HPE theory lessons and participating in sports such as swimming, water polo, bike riding, basketball, dodgeball, indoor soccer, and social games.

Workplace Learning

Students returned after the Term 1 school holidays rested and were ready to get back to Workplace Learning. We have had a really good attendance record, and the students are to be congratulated on the energy and commitment they show to the program. We are very pleased with the impressive feedback we continue to receive from employers and support workers!

Our three students who were successful in attaining a School-Based Traineeship with Good Samaritan Industries—Oliver Gallen, Ryan Grant, and Patrick Kargbo—have now completed the long process of sign-up and induction and have commenced their traineeships! All three students are doing exceptionally well, and we look forward to them being independent in the workplace so that we can ‘surprise’ them when we visit without warning!

We are also happy to report that another two students have successfully attained a School Based Traineeship with Jason Windows. Congratulations to Robbie Burton and Jayden Keymer! Both Robbie and Jayden have been working at Jason Windows since the beginning of the year, and the employer was so impressed with their work that they were more than happy to take them on as trainees—well done!

Jayden and Robbie at Jason Windows

In addition, we have six students attending an ‘Employment Buddy Program’ run by Essential Personnel. The 10-week program will start in Week 5 & continue into Term 3. Congratulations to Devyn Smith, Edmund Dann, Jack Casey, Oliver Blake, Selam Weldearagay & Yusuf Senkaya for being selected to participate in the program. We are confident you will get a lot out of the course, designed to improve workplace readiness skills & set students up for work after the end of school.

Mrs Pears will be taking long service leave from the beginning of Week 5 to holiday in Europe & will return in Week 9. Ms Watkins will also be on leave from Week 5, returning in Term 3. While we are both away, Mrs Egan will return to Workplace Learning from Middle School, Mrs Anton will join her 3 days a week & Mrs Niblock will also be in the office to help. We appreciate everyone stepping in to cover our leave & we look forward to getting back to school to hear about the students’ achievements while we were away!

RAP

Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) / National Sorry Day & National Reconciliation Week (NRW)

CCESC’s RAP ties in with National Sorry Day & NRW, significant national events our school observed this year and in previous years. This year’s NRW theme of Bridging Now to Next was used to help students think/learn about the past, present and future, and to consider all the fantastic possibilities of an equal and fair Australia. Students at the middle school campus had four days of recess/lunch time based activities to engage in hands (or feet) on learning such as painted footprints on the bridge and bush tucker. Did you see the pics on our social media? 

Our school is committed to helping students develop their ethical and intercultural understandings and recognising that respect, which forms part of our positive behaviour support A.I.R model, is the primary foundation of our RAP. 

Please consider joining the RAP’s Working Group (committee). Make contact with pat.spadanuda@education.wa.edu.au

Student Services Update

Last term, the middle school held an Anzac Day assembly on Friday, 11 April, as Anzac Day fell during the school holidays. Our school and CCC councillors spoke with poise and respect at the assembly. Ali Saad, Edmund, Patrick, and Ken were flag bearers, and they looked extremely smart, diligent, and respectful as they performed their duties. Ava Moore, although feeling under the weather, gave an amazing performance of the Australian Anthem. 

Special guests included Justin from Djurandi Dreaming, who performed a Welcome to Country Ceremony to acknowledge and consent to the assembly taking place on their traditional lands. He shared the story of the Black Swan- Maali and honoured our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Anzac Soldiers.

Peter Dempsey from the Cannington RSL spoke about his experiences and gave a heartfelt journey of what ANZAC Day meant to him and his generation.

Our Year 8SS class fundraised $450 by making and selling handmade clay poppies, and Sofia presented a cheque for this amount to the Cannington RSL.

This term, we acknowledge National Sorry Day, officially the National Day of Healing. This event is held annually in Australia on 26th May, commemorating the Stolen Generations. It is part of the ongoing efforts towards reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

Then, we start National Reconciliation Week—a time for all Australians to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. Today, thousands of people celebrate the week in workplaces, schools, early learning services, and communities around the country.

We will use the Our Narragunnawali: Reconciliation in Education platform, which connects educators with the tools they need to engage students in reconciliation learning and action.

We will have attendance rewards in week 6 for students whose attendance was 100% in term one this year. This will be ongoing per term to engage and encourage our students and their families to attend school. You will be notified if your child is in the reward group.

Relationships, Sexuality and Sexual Health :

Talking to your child, Parents and Caregivers can often feel uncomfortable raising this topic with young people, but young people need accurate information about sex and sexuality to be able to negotiate sexual relationships safely and responsibly, and to become sexually healthy adults.

Young people will hear information from many sources, but as the most influential role model in a young person's life, parents and caregivers have an essential role to play in ensuring that the young person receives information that allows them to make safe and healthy choices.

Below is some information about support available to young people and their families in the areas of Relationships, Sexuality and Sexual Health:

Talk soon. Talk often. A guide for parents talking to their kids about sex is an excellent book that will help you with tricky conversations. Home | Talk soon. Talk often.

Try the ‘Get the Facts’ website and discuss with your child -www.getthefacts.health.wa.gov.au. ·

Sexuality Education Counselling and Consultancy Agency (SECCA) is an organisation that supports people with disability to learn about relationships, sexuality and sexual health. SECCA offers education, counselling, consultancy, workshops and resources. SECCA also have a free App resource available, more information about the app and the organisation is available via their website at: Home - SECCA

If you have a concern about your child’s development, please get in touch with the Community Health Nurses at the school on 9351 2480

Breakfast club:

The breakfast club has been fantastic this year, meeting all our new Year 7 cohort who have settled in beautifully. Our excellent early morning staff and I like to greet our students at the start of the day, make them smile, chat, or offer a listening, caring ear. Most of our students arrive vibrant, excited to share their stories and keen for the food. Wednesday is a hit because all our students love pancakes, and that is our pancake day. So, let’s start our students’ morning at our Breakfast Club, which is open every school day in the BER and the Business Centre. Whether you're after a bite to eat, a place to relax, or a chance to chat with friends, Breakfast Club is the perfect way to begin your day. We offer various healthy breakfast options in a friendly, supportive environment—it's free, fun, and open to all students.

Come along, fuel up, and feel ready for the day.
