The Year 9 Career Taster Program (CTP) is an exciting and innovative program designed for Year 9 students to become ‘career curious’ and taste different career options, education and training pathways. Students can explore career pathways, try hands-on industry-based activities and see occupations in action.
The program is also designed to challenge the way students think about their post-school options and help them make more informed decisions on their subject selections for Years 10, 11 and 12.
The new Career Taster portal includes a database of industry experiences with information and resources for students, schools, parents, carers, and industry.

Dear Parents, we have now completed the first round of year seven vaccinations. If your child missed out at school and you would like them immunised, you can book them into the Immunisation Clinic on Tuesdays on 98922499. Or you can take your child to your family doctor.
Next term, we will be offering vaccination for meningococcal ACWY to all year ten students, so please look out for consent forms. These will be sent out soon, please return them to school ASAP, or you can register your child on VaccinateWA and give your consent online.
If you have any questions, you can ring the school nurse, Cathy Watson on 98920622 (Monday to Thursday) or SMS 0437287706.

Premier’s Reading Challenge
Ninety of our students from Years 7 to 10 have registered for the challenge to read 12 books by 9 September 2022. Four of our students – Brianna Patterson, Olivia Silver, Elaina Patterson and Zalita van Eijk have already surpassed this total!
The benefits of reading have been well-researched and widely acknowledged, and Premier Mark McGowan’s endorsement for this challenge, plus the chance to win some fantastic prizes from Tourism WA, provide additional incentives to explore all of the places and times that reading can take you to. An Exmouth primary school student won a prize last week to swim with whale sharks; what will this week’s prize be?
Students can register at school or home via the website, Home - Premier's Reading Challenge (premiersreadingchallenge.wa.edu.au), choose their own avatar and log all the books they read over the course of the challenge. Weekly prizes will be awarded to students who log a book that week, with major prizes drawn when the challenge ends.
Books don’t have to be in English – families are encouraged to read books in their first language.
There are extraordinary tourism prizes to be won each week, as well as NAV points to be won for NASHS students.
For more information and some great book ideas, please come to the library.
National Careers Week
Ms Benson, our Career Practitioner created a great game …Guess Who? Students and staff were invited to come to the library to check out our display, and guess which person matched which career profile. It was trickier than it at first seemed, but with lots of NAV points up for grabs it proved a very popular competition.
National Sorry Day & Reconciliation Week
Every 26 May marks National Sorry Day, a day to acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations Survivors and reflect on how Australians can all play a part in the healing process for the people and nation. While this date carries great significance for the Stolen Generations and other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, it is also commemorated by Australians right around the country.
This leads into National Reconciliation Week, with the 2022 theme “Be Brave. Make Change.” This is a challenge to all Australians - individuals, families, communities, organisations and government—to Be Brave and tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation so we can Make Change for the benefit of all Australians.
National Reconciliation Week—27 May to 3 June—is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. The theme features at our library entrance and continues with our book display for the Premier’s Reading Challenge.
