GHD is a global professional services company operating in the global markets of water, energy and resources, environment, property and buildings, and transportation. GHD’s STEM Pathways Program was launched in 2017 and in partnership with North East Water was held in 乐播传媒视频 for the first time last year. The aim of the program is to encourage female students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Grace, Claire, Mary and Sarah were able to explore opportunities in STEM fields through workshops, seminars, and real-world challenges, introducing them to cutting-edge technologies and sustainable solutions. They visited two VR sites and evaluated the use of Artificial Intelligence in finding solutions for the issues identified. They developed practical skills in science and engineering while also gaining insight into the challenges faced by regional communities like 乐播传媒视频. They also explored how STEM innovations, particularly in environmental sustainability and infrastructure, can positively impact their local community.

On the last day of the program, Grace, Claire and Mary presented what they had learned from their experiences to an audience at the North East Water wastewater treatment plant. This final presentation allowed them to showcase their knowledge and participate in a 乐播传媒视频榪uestion-answer乐播传媒视频� session with their 乐播传媒视频榚xpert乐播传媒视频� audience. The WSSC students impressed the facilitators of this excellent experience.

As we are about to commence term 4, it is essential that we convey some important information to parents/guardians of Year 12 students.

The end of the Year 12 academic year is fast approaching and we wish to farewell the students in a way that recognises their efforts appropriately. The following is information pertaining to VCE exams, the last days of class and the Valedictory Presentation Ceremony.

Last Day of Year 12 classes 乐播传媒视频� Tuesday 22nd October

Tuesday the 22nd of October will be the last day of required attendance at 乐播传媒视频 Senior Secondary College for the Year 12 class of 2024. All classes will run and students will be required to attend classes as normal. Year 12 students will assemble at the flag poles at 3.00pm to celebrate the last bell. Students will be required to be in full, unaltered uniform and attend classes for the entire day.

Farewell breakfast and assembly 乐播传媒视频� Wednesday 23rd October

WSSC has arranged a celebration get together beginning at 9am. We will provide breakfast, music and activities. Students will have the opportunity to run an informal year 12 ceremony. This will occur at the flagpole area between the main building and the trade training centre. Year 12 students will have access to this area only.
This will conclude with a formal whole school assembly at the flag poles at 10.35am. After which Year 10 and 11 students will form a 乐播传媒视频済uard of honour乐播传媒视频� as the Year 12乐播传媒视频檚 are farewelled out of the school by Mr Hilditch and Mr Whitehead. Parents are invited to see the students out the gate for the final time.

While it is a time for celebration at the conclusion of your child乐播传媒视频檚 studies prior to their examinations, we would like to take this opportunity to reinforce the College乐播传媒视频檚 expectations regarding behaviour and conduct on these days. Students are reminded that all normal school expectations and policies need to be adhered to. These can be viewed on the College website.
Any student who does not adhere to clearly defined College behaviour policies, or fails to follow the directions of any staff member during the day, will be asked to leave the school grounds immediately and may incur further consequences, such as:

1. Being excluded from the Year 12 Valedictory Ceremony.
2. Having to sit the exams in a venue other than WSSC.

Valedictory 乐播传媒视频� Thursday 21st November

On Thursday the 21st of November at 6.00pm (for a 6.30pm start) the College will be holding its Year 12 Valedictory Ceremony at the Albury Entertainment Centre.

Ticketing arrangements will be communicated separately to this letter.

Final VCE Exams 乐播传媒视频� Tuesday 29th October to Wednesday the 20th November

All students completing VCE are expected to sit their final VCE exams.

Students will be welcome at the College to access help from their teachers, to access required school resources and to study in the Study Centre during this time.
