Term 4 has already been a busy and exciting time for Mabo students, with plenty of opportunities to get involved, celebrate achievements and make some great memories together.
Year 7 Big Day Out
Our Year 7 students had the opportunity to take part in the Year 7 Big Day Out, heading to Le Mans Go Karting for a day of racing, fun and friendly competition. Students also enjoyed arcade games, making it a fantastic day to celebrate their first year at HPSC and spend time with their classmates outside the classroom.
Celebrating Our Year 12s
Term 4 is always a significant time for our Year 12 students. To celebrate the end of their official classes, our Year 12s headed off on their Mystery Excursion. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to relax, celebrate and reflect on their time at HPSC.
We also held our Year 12 Final Assembly, providing the school community with an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our graduating students and wish them all the very best as they head into their final exams and their next steps beyond HPSC. We are incredibly proud of everything our Year 12 students have achieved and look forward to seeing where their future takes them!
Preparing for the Future
Our Year 10 students have also been busy gaining valuable experience through Work Experience. This is an important opportunity for students to explore different careers, develop workplace skills and begin thinking about their pathways beyond secondary school.
Our Year 9 students have enjoyed their second City Experience for the year. This time, students had the choice of visiting the Eureka Skydeck or Melbourne Aquarium, giving them another opportunity to explore Melbourne, learn outside the classroom and experience some of the amazing attractions our city has to offer.
Sport and Academies
Mabo students have continued to represent HPSC with pride through our sporting programs and academies. Students competed at Regional Athletics, showcasing their determination and commitment while representing our school.
HPSC also hosted the HPSC Touch Gala Day, bringing students together through sport, teamwork and friendly competition. It was fantastic to see our students getting involved, supporting one another and demonstrating our school values.
Arts, STEM and Open Night
Our Open Night was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the incredible work happening across HPSC. From Arts to STEM and everything in between, students had the chance to demonstrate their creativity, knowledge and skills to families and the wider community. It was wonderful to see so many Mabo students involved and proudly showcasing their learning.
Mabo House
We are excited to introduce a new Mabo Art Wall, giving our creative students a space to showcase their artwork.
If you have created a piece of art that you would like to display, bring it to Ms Beattie. We would love to see the creativity and talent within Mabo and give students the opportunity to have their work celebrated by our House community.
Mabo has also introduced a new Culture of the Month initiative. Each month, we will celebrate and learn more about the diverse cultures that make up our Mabo community.
Students are invited to create a celebration poster about their culture to help us share and celebrate the traditions, stories, languages, food, celebrations and important aspects of their culture.
If you would like to create a poster, speak to Ms Beattie to find out more.
It has already been a fantastic start to Term 4, and we look forward to seeing what the rest of the term brings for Mabo!
