Hello Parents,
I’m working on a project with my Defence students to update the school’s Defence History Album in the library. We’d like to recognise our student and staff ties to current and previous serving personnel. We would love it if you could please send in any or all of the following: photos, stories, names, service (i.e. Army/Navy or RAAF), time/years served, deployments or any other information you’d be happy to share so we can compile it into an album and be proud of the efforts and sacrifices made by our school’s community. The information can be from current and previous serving personnel, and can be from parents, guardians, step-family, grandparents, great-grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters…..anyone in your family! Our current album is very dated, though examples are photos of great-great grandparents and wars they served in; photos of parents returning from deployment; an honour roll of family members who have served but have no photos or stories attached, and much more.
Please, any information would be great! Please email to Janelle.wallace@education.wa.edu.au , if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email. Thanks for your help, I look forward to seeing the rich Defence history of our school. Have a great day!

Be You Mental Health and Wellbeing Update
Staff have continued working on more professional learning modules through the Be You website to assist students and families with developing positive mental health and wellbeing. The Be You website has many resources and links for families if you are looking for support. I have also provided a support contacts graphic for extra support services.
