MATES Of Clarkson Get Rewarded
A large part of the ethos at Clarkson Community High School is Invitational Education (William Purkey). The five P's of Invitational Education stand for people, places, policies, programs and processes and these provide the means to address the global nature of the school in terms of inviting students to learn and creating a safe learning environment.
The MATE program (Make A Total Effort) is an initiative that fits perfectly in our invitational ethos. It rewards high achievement by setting goals towards grade point average and good standing (behaviour).
Clarkson Receives A Donation Of Almost $500
The Lions Club’s Alkimos Butler branch president Debra Smith presented Clarkson Community High School with $479.40 this month to supply its uniform exchange program.

Hats Off To Katie
A FIREFIGHTER, emergency services volunteer, horse-riding teacher and leader at her school, Katie Napier wears many hats for her list of voluntary and leadership roles.
The 17-year-old Butler resident's contributions to the community earned her the youth award at the City of Wanneroo's Australia Day celebrations. Katie joined the Quinns Rocks Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade as a 12-year-old with her sister and brother and within weeks she had also signed up to the Clarkson Emergency Services and the St John Ambulance cadet units.
Recycle Week Success
Clarkson students promoted National Recycling Week recently with a focus on school-based recycling projects. Learning centre co-ordinator Alison Nolan said the cadets did all the school’s paper recycling as well as the composting and worm farm in the school garden. Almost 90 Clarkson Community High School students have been involved in the Bushranger Cadets Unit, which participated in awareness week from November 12 to 18. Planet Ark encourages students to go green through participating in various school recycling activities.
