Dear Secondary School Parents


At the College we encourage our staff to pursue higher education and research in order to benefit our community. It provides a positive example to students of what can be achieved academically and the knowledge attained directly helps to improve student outcomes. As a part of her study at Sheridan Institute, Mrs Oosthuisen (Yr 6) is currently researching a topic related to reading. If you would like your child to participate in the study pleased find attached further information and a permission slip to return.

If possible, your child's participation would be appreciated.

Thanks for your consideration

  2. Mum Focus – supporting connectivity for mums and encouragement for the parenting journey through different events.
  3. Nature Focus – practical support to help us establish learning experiences in the College owned bushland to the east. Assistance at the Bunnings Sausage sizzle to raise money for the project.
  4. Fete/Open Day – helping as part of the organising committee or offering to run a stall.

Nut Aware College

Japanese Exchange Student Visit

 

On July 25th, Atlantis Beach Baptist College will welcome a group of Year 10-12 Japanese students from Hiroshima Gion Kita High School, Hiroshima, for a 7-night cultural exchange.

 

The visit presents an exciting opportunity for our school community as it invites both those visiting and those hosting to explore culture in a very real and interesting way. For the visiting Japanese students, staying with a local family is the highlight of their visit and a chance for them to experience the Aussie way of life. This simple act of kindness creates lifelong memories like no other.

 

GOLD Educational Tours, the organiser of the upcoming visit, is inviting families who are keen to be involved to get in touch and register their interest to host a student. Families who sign up will receive $350 to help cover expenses and have access to 24/7 support throughout their stay.

If you would be willing to welcome a student into your home, please register your interest via the link, or call 6150 3759 / 0482 076 423. https://www.goldil.com.au/atlantis-hiroshima

Parent Opportunities

Dear Parents

 

Research shows that educational outcomes are improved for children when schools and parents proactively and constructively work together. At Atlantis Beach Baptist College, we invite you to consider a range of opportunities for involvement, either as part of an organising committee or as a participant.

 

The Fathering Project

 

The Fathering Project is an opportunity for Primary School fathers and father figures to spend time with their own children and other dads in a supportive and relaxed environment.  It typically consists of one fun event/activity per term with some good encouragement thrown in. We are looking for any fathers and father figures who might be interested in joining the planning committee.

 

Mum Focus

 

Across the year we hope to run a series of events for mums. These social events are designed to encourage connectivity with other mums and inspiration for the parenting journey. We are looking for any mums who might be interested in joining the planning committee.

 

Nature Focus

 

The College campus extends both to the north and east of the current fence lines and incorporates a lovely area of bushland. Over the coming year we would like to utilise this space for educational purposes, supporting a range of topics such as environmental and indigenous studies. To help facilitate this, we need to establish some pathways and learning areas that help students engage with the natural environment sustainably and safely. We are looking for any parents who may be interested in helping with the practical work of establishing the learning spaces. This includes rubbish removal, weeding and general works. We are also looking for parents who may be able to help with the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle as the money raised will contribute to the installation of a gate and pathways into this area.

 

Fete/Open Day

 

Later in the year we hope to run a Fete/Open Day. The purpose of the day is to highlight all the great things happening at the College and build our community. We’d love to hear from you if interested in either setting up your own stall or assisting as a part of the organising committee.

 

How to Get Involved?

 

To let us know your willingness to help organise and contribute any of the opportunities noted please complete this 1-minute survey – https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NCPSR3Q

 

If you’d like to be involved in any of the events/activities associated with these groups look out for the invitations and promotional information.
