2018 State School WA Inter-School Athletics
Friday the 19th of October saw a group of 31 students and 3 staff members represent Clarkson at the 2018 State School WA Inter-School Athletics competition. This gave our students a fantastic opportunity to test themselves against some very promising young talented athletes as well as shine a light onto our school. They achieved both admirably.
We ended the day in 4th place, which was our best placing in the last 3 years and, if not for some administrative errors, we could have cracked the top 3!
Congratulations To The Graduating Class of 2018
Well done to all the graduating students of 2018, especially the special award winners below:

The Learning Journey Update 2018
Since the release of the first Clarkson CHS Learning Journey document in March 2011 and the Learning Journey 2 document in November 2017, a number of conditions have changed which impact the school. However, the overall vision that encompasses decision making processes has not changed, as it is founded on what Clarkson CHS's Senior Leadership Team believe are fundamental truths about working with people in an educational setting.

"Double, Double Toil And Trouble; Fire Burn And Cauldron Bubble”
The Bell Shakespeare Theatre Company visited Clarkson CHS in Week Six to run a Macbeth Masterclass with our Year 10 students who are studying the play.
Caitlin Beresford-Ord, Arts Educator from Bell Shakespeare, had students explore Macbeth’s characters, events and themes through performance, acting games and costume.
The students behaved impeccably, spoke confidently in front of their peers, acted brilliantly and now possess a deeper understanding of the play.
We look forward to working with Bell Shakespeare on future Clarkson incursions and excursions.

Invitational Education Theory seeks to “provide a means of intentionally summoning people to realise their relatively boundless potential in all areas of worthwhile human endeavour” (Purkey & Novak 2015).
Pearce Young Leaders Forum 2018
By Adam Inder, Applied Science HOLA.
Following Clarkson CHS being the hosts for the Pearce Young Leaders Forum in 2017, this morning Peter Moyes ACS had their turn to host the 2018 forum. Attending this year was a great honour for me, as I was able to attend my old high school, where I now sit on the School Council.
The forum is hosted by Federal Member for Pearce and Attorney General, Hon. Christian Porter. The special guest this year was none other than Australian boxing legend Danny Green.
