SENIOR SCHOOL
We have been having many conversations with Senior School students recently about celebrating
Work Experience Needed! Do you work in an organisation or run a business that would like to support this valuable learning opportunity for students? At TVCS, our Career Development Strategy recognises that our students benefit from a planned program of career development activities to: • Expand their understanding of a Biblical view of vocation; • Maximise opportunities to learn about the world of work; and • Build their personal capabilities to succeed in managing life, work and learning. This year we are reinstating our Year 10 Work Experience program after a 3 year Covid induced hiatus. Therefore in Week 9 of Term 2 , (Monday June 26th to Friday June 30th) our Year 10 students are engaging in a week of work experience. The program is intended to run for all 5 days, however a minimum of 3 days is also acceptable. The paperwork trail has been simplified from previous years offering organisations a greater ease to implement a placement. If you are in a position to offer support this important step in the learning journey of our Year 10 students, please make contact with Simon Golley (SACE, Career Pathways) on simon.golley@tvcs. sa.edu.au. This is a very valuable week in the life of our secondary students, giving them an opportunity to experience work at a business or organisation and gain skills in learning on the job in a variety of industries. Thank you for considering this and for your support of our Work Experience program.
community and the many ways we can connect with each
other. This week is Harmony Week which is a time to celebrate Australian multiculturalism, and the successful integration
of migrants into our community. It is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values. Individual classes have been participating in a variety of activities during the week and on Friday, students were allowed to wear their PE uniforms and an orange shirt or other orange additions as recognition of the day. Recently, all Year 10 students participated in “Courage to Lead”, a program which is built on the Bridge Builders concepts used in the Primary school at TVCS. It was as a strong Christian focus and covers topics such as Respecting Yourself, Facing your Fears, Connecting and Problem Solving. Following the workshop, we asked for volunteers to be involved in a mentoring program with the Year 7 students and we had 15 volunteers. Those students were involved in a mentoring session on Tuesday and will now mentor Year 7 students during lunch. We are so blessed to be in a Christian school that puts Jesus Christ at the centre of everything we do and to be able to spend significant times together in worship. This week, all Senior School students attended the second Revampt assembly for the term at Hope Valley Church. Thanks to the Revampt Band and the whole Revampt team, led by Mrs Garland, we are able to hear to God’s word, listen to important messages and worship in song together.
