Year 7-9 Students - Embrace Activities and Challenges

Week 9

In celebrating the end of the school year, our Year 7-9 students will participate in a range of ‘Embrace’ activities and challenges. Embrace Kids is an uplifting film by Taryn Brumfitt that brings together a vibrant collection of stories from young people and famous friends alike, who share their experiences of body image, bullying, representation and more. The film aims to improve the body image of young people. After watching the film on Monday morning, students have selected their activities for our ‘Embrace Choice’ sessions ranging from macrame, print and paint to jeopardy and junkyard arcade games. Following on from Monday’s ‘Embrace Choice’, students have selected their ‘Embrace Challenge’ activity for Tuesday afternoon aiming to push themselves to try something new including escape rooms and boot camp. Students are permitted to wear their sports uniform for both days. School and break times remain the same.

Vocational Pathways in 2025

In 2025, students who have indicated a Trade pathway may attend TAFE in week blocks throughout Semesters 1 and 2 (equivalent to 10 week blocks). A week block means that students attend TAFE during these weeks, or 1 day per week for 40 weeks throughout semester 1 and 2. 

Students who enter a trade pathway (e.g. Electrical / Construction / Mechanical / Engineering) are required to wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at TAFE and during their work placements. Please refer to the attached document for further information.

Years 3-6 Primary Choir End of Year Events

We are excited to inform you that your child has been an active member of our Caritas choir this year, and the time has come for them to shine at the following live events.

  1. Christmas Carols at Edenfield Family Care - Nerrilda on Wednesday 27 November. Time: 9:15am - 11:30am Transport: students will walk to and from the venue
  2. Our traditional school Carols night on Monday 2 December.
  3. The Caritas choir have also been invited to perform at the Port Augusta Community Carols, which is a community event to showcase musical talent from Port Augusta. This event will be on Sunday 8 December at All Saints Church. As this is a community, out of school hours event, we would like to gauge the interest of students to ensure we can represent Caritas College properly. Your children will need to be supervised for the duration of the event, as school staff will be assisting with the community event.
