Term 2 at Carey has been busy and exciting, with substantial development and enriching activities. As we conclude this term, we reflect on the diverse events and experiences from the past months.
Carey prides itself on fostering student growth in confidence, creativity, collaboration and resilience – crucial attributes in today's world. Highlights include the whole-school Poetry Evening, teamwork during APS Winter Sport, spirited House Public Speaking and Debating competitions in the Senior School, and joyful House Music events in the Middle School.
Outside the classroom, students participated in immersive and memorable experiences. Year 10 students faced personal growth challenges in the Zero Program (feature image), Year 5 explored historical perspectives at Sovereign Hill, and Year 6 enjoyed adventure and independence at the Toonallook Camps. Middle School students shone brightly in The Little Mermaid production, while others gained cultural insights through the trip to Robinson River.
These programs exemplify our commitment to holistic education, encouraging students to explore new interests, challenge themselves and establish meaningful connections with peers. These experiences shape individuals who are academically adept and emotionally and socially prepared for future endeavours.
We extend gratitude to our staff, families and students for their dedication and enthusiasm. We wish everyone a safe and restful three-week holiday and look forward to another term of growth and discovery.
Continuous learning for educators
Aligned with our dedication to continuous improvement, our teaching staff engage in ongoing learning and reflective practice. This ensures educators stay responsive to student needs and advances in educational research and technology.
This term featured collaborative workshops where teachers led peers in professional learning activities, enhancing expertise and promoting collective efficacy within our community. Recent sessions included:
- Ready and Learning Plan in Action – Practical strategies to maximise student engagement and success in the classroom.
- Complex Competencies and Learning Design – Unpacking the Complex Competencies and intentionally designing learning experiences that build them.
- Digital Learning and AI – Exploring emerging technologies and AI's evolving role in education, with a focus on enhancing teaching and learning.
These sessions reinforce that all teachers are lifelong learners, continually refining practices to support optimal student outcomes.
