Students in focus

Eight SIDE senior school students participated in the Halogen Australia Young Leaders Day in March.

SIDE’s Year 6 Leavers celebrated the end of their primary schooling on 13 December, getting together with other SIDE students who were in Perth at the time. They joined Year 6 teachers, Brad Woodbrook and Janine Denner, for lunch at the Hyatt Hotel.

SIDE is delighted to congratulate Year 11 student Brielle Hunt, from Dunsborough, on becoming a regional winner in the ABC’s 2020 Heywire storytelling competition. Heywire is open to young people aged 16-22 living in regional or rural Australia. It encourages them to tell stories in text, photo, video or audio about their life. ABC staff provide mentoring and technical support to winners to produce their stories for radio. Winners are flown to Canberra for the Heywire Youth Summit.

The Elite Performance students have been travelling and training interstate and overseas during Term Three in their specialist areas. A summary of their achievements are as follows:

Students from Australian Performing Arts Network (APAN) recently presented an impressive and polished production of The Wizard of Oz at the Regal Theatre in Subiaco. All of the APAN students who attend SIDE danced, sang and acted like seasoned professionals.

Thinking about visiting SIDE in Term 3 or 4. Read about Billy's experience.
