Mabo spirit. Mabo pride. Mabo champions!
Celebrating Learning and Academic Growth
Term 3 has been another busy and exciting term for Mabo House, with students embracing a wide range of opportunities to develop their learning, creativity, cultural understanding and connections across our school community.
Students participated in ACER Testing, providing an opportunity to demonstrate their skills and knowledge across a range of learning areas. These assessments help students and teachers identify strengths and areas for further growth, supporting students to continue working towards their individual learning goals.
Our themed learning weeks also provided exciting opportunities to engage with learning beyond the traditional classroom.
Arts and STEM Week encouraged students to explore creativity, innovation, problem-solving and design, highlighting the connections between the arts, science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Humanities Week provided opportunities for students to explore history, geography, society and culture through engaging activities and experiences.
Students also participated in Science Week, celebrating scientific discovery, curiosity and the important role science plays in understanding and shaping our world.
Celebrating Creativity – Replay Rewind
One of the major highlights of the term was our school production, Replay Rewind.
Our students demonstrated incredible talent, creativity, dedication and teamwork throughout the production. From performing on stage to working behind the scenes, students played an important role in creating an entertaining and memorable experience for our school community.
Congratulations to all of our Mabo students who were involved in making Replay Rewind such a success!
Celebrating Language, Culture and Community
Term 3 has provided many opportunities to celebrate the incredible diversity of our school community.
Language Week celebrated the many languages spoken across our school, encouraging students to recognise the importance of language, communication and cultural identity.
We also proudly recognised National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day, providing an opportunity to celebrate the culture, achievements and strengths of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people.
These celebrations help strengthen our understanding and appreciation of the diverse cultures, experiences and perspectives that make our school community so special.
Year 7 Swimming Program
Our Year 7 students embraced their Swimming Program, developing swimming skills, confidence, water safety knowledge and independence.
The program provided students with valuable skills that extend beyond the classroom while encouraging them to challenge themselves, build confidence and support one another.
Planning for the Future
Term 3 has also been an important time for students to begin planning for the future.
Course Counselling for 2027 provided students with the opportunity to consider their interests, strengths, pathways and future goals when making decisions about their subjects and learning programs for next year.
These conversations are an important part of helping students take ownership of their learning and begin building a pathway towards their future aspirations.
Looking Ahead
What an incredible term for Mabo House!
From winning Athletics Day, to performing in Replay Rewind, developing new skills through the Year 7 Swimming Program, celebrating culture and language, engaging in STEM and Science activities, and planning for future pathways, our students have continued to embrace opportunities to learn, connect and grow.
Most importantly, our Athletics Day victory demonstrated the incredible House spirit that exists within Mabo.
Congratulations, Mabo! You are officially the 2026 Athletics Day Champions!
Thank you to all of our students, staff and families for your continued support and contribution to such a positive, inclusive and successful House community.
