This term eleven lucky ladies participated in the Ladies Eleven program. Frisbee, tie-dying, cupcakes, yoga, automotive care, coffee shop, polar fleece blankets, boxing, crafts including glass cutting and dream catchers, Drumbeat and gardening were all on the agenda. Tractor driving unfortunately didn't get a run this term due to a very soggy oval, much to the girls' disappointment!
Lads and Ladies Eleven is a concept which has evolved over the years, but still hinges on the concept of allowing students the chance to collaborate in a small group setting with students they might not usually socialise with. It develops confidence, interpersonal skills and encourages the students to work outside of their comfort zone.
Teachers nominate students and the group is finally culled to around 11 students (hence the name!) I'm sure all past candidates would agree that they've
been lucky to have been chosen to take part in these great activities and staff enjoy watching these students excel in settings outside the regular classroom.
I would like to thank Mrs Liz LaTrobe, Mr Angel, Mr Irvine, Mrs Groth, Mr Inch, Mrs Schiller, Ms Bruce, Mrs Willoughby, Mrs Breust, Mr Hackett, Miss Kenaly, Mrs Brennan, Ms Starke and Mrs Anne Macauley for their contributions this year and also to the other staff from previous years who have graciously given their time and shared their secret talents with students! Who ever knew Mr Hudson could crochet???!!!
