In June 2019 a group of student councilors attended a leadership camp at Woodman Point. The purpose of this camp was to teach the students how to be good leaders.
The event was enjoyed by all and the students left with a sense of personal growth. Thank you to all involved!
A big thank you to all who donated to the Salvo's Winter Appeal. Our Community Services class was thrilled to collect three large boxes of donations including food, clothing and toiletries.
Awesome job, well done!
Students’ perspectives on teacher effectiveness and school climate are important. The Western Australian Department of Education is committed to the notion of student voice. FOCUS 2019 says: “Ensure school planning captures the views of students and facilitates involvement where appropriate.” (p 4) At Clarkson CHS, giving students a voice provides valuable feedback. Student voice gives a clear focus on learning and provides important evidence.

The following is a message from the Certificate II Community Services class:
"The Certificate II Community Services class will be running the Salvation Army Winter Appeal during term two.
The Salvation Army is in our neighbourhood (in Merriwa) so donations would go to local people who really need the help. Donations of blankets, sleeping bags and warm outdoor clothing may be sent to Northbridge, where people sleeping outside will be needing those things.
This flyer will show you the kinds of things that would be good to donate. This year there will be three places to bring donations: Student Services; the Library; and Home Ec. (in case the library is closed).
Thank you for your attention. We hope everyone at Clarkson Community High School will donate to the Salvation Army Winter Appeal.
Regards
Certificate II Community Services class, 2019"
