JHS embrace learning opportunity

As the academic year progresses, students at Jindabyne High School eagerly anticipate the annual Year 10 Transition Week˗a program that goes beyond simply preparing them for their senior years of high school. Organised by the dedicated Careers Department, this week-long initiative aims to equip students not only with academic tools but also essential life skills as they approach the threshold of adulthood.

The week kicked off on Monday with students rotating through a series of workshops designed to cover a diverse range of skills and knowledge. The welcoming activities set the tone for an engaging and informative week. The highlight of the day was the inspiring talk by guest speaker Andy, offering valuable insights and motivation to the students.

Skink art aims to save species

NEW art installations in the Kosciuszko National Park (KNP) are raising awareness for the Guthega skink as hikers walk along the Illawong Track.

Carved into granite boulders, a common feature of the Guthega skink’s habitat, these creative depictions are a reminder of the unique and vulnerable native animals hiding along the tracks, a spokesperson for National Parks and Wildlife Services (NPWS) said.

A day of exploration, learning for students

By Cooma North Public School

In an exciting and educational adventure, Stage 3 students from Cooma North Public School recently embarked on a field trip to Snowy Hydro to celebrate the company’s 74th anniversary. This remarkable day was filled with engaging activities, providing the students with a unique opportunity to learn and have fun simultaneously.

The day began with the students donning professional Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), immersing themselves in the world of the workforce. This experience not only allowed them to understand the importance of safety in industrial environments but also gave them a glimpse into the daily lives of the dedicated professionals at Snowy Hydro.

Delegate students busy

By Delegate Public School

Our five representatives at the South Coast PSSA Athletics Championship achieved a great deal of success on the day. 

Our combined Small School Relay Team of Lily, Amelia, Lola, and Georgina finished third and thus qualified for the NSW PSSA State All School’s Athletics Championship at Sydney Olympic Park in October. Lily blew the opposition away in her heat of the 9 Year’s Girls 100m and then backed up to finish 9th  overall in the final. 

Fred just missed a placing in his two events; however, it is worth noting that in the Senior Boys MC Shot Put, Fred threw a personal best, improving on his previous best by over 1.5m. 

This team of three Year 5 students and one Year four student competed against all other teams made up of Year 6 students. To qualify for state given these challenges is another outstanding result for our school.
