Year 6-7 Transition Day

November 15, 2022 by claire

Over the weekend, we held our Year 6-7 Transition Day event as a warm welcome to our incoming Year 7 Cohort who will be joining us in 2023.

It was fantastic to see our current students eager to help support their younger peers, who with their guidance, incoming students were able to explore our wonderful school and the facilities we have to offer. The day included the opportunity to sample subjects across Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, Drama, Dance, Physical Education and Technologies.

Students also met their peers in their Home Room and work collaboratively with them through a number of ‘Ice-Breaker’ activities and the Harrisdale SHS Amazing Race Challenge!

We are excited to welcome the Year 7 2023 Cohort and look forward to helping you along your high school journey next year. We hope you enjoy the remaining weeks of your primary school journey – we will see you next year!

Year 7 Student Councillors visit City of Armadale Council Chambers

November 11, 2022 by claire

Yesterday, our Year 7 Student Councillors visit the City of Armadale Council Chambers to take part in a Leadership exercise. It was a fantastic day! Our students were highly engaged and behaved excellently. Students engaged in leadership activities throughout the day, including the opportunity to meet and speak with the Armadale Mayor Cr Ruth Butterfield and hear from Police Sergeant Simon Rimmer who talked about leadership and what it’s like to be on the Police Force. They also met and spoke with local media journalists and toured two museums.

This opportunity created a core memory for our Year 7 Student Councillors.
