As we hit our half way point of Term 3, there are plenty of exciting things happening around our College. Success looks different for each and every one of our students, and thankfully, here at Foxwell, there are so many incredible oppurtunities for students to reach theirs. Many of our students are working hard in lots of different areas of the College to support our school and local community. Here are just a couple of the highlights from the last couple of weeks...

Student Council

Our Student Council is back up and running for 2023. This week, we elected our Student Council Body President, Treasurer and Secretary.

President: Renee Tiller

Vice President: Sabastian Padowitz

Treasurer: Amritha Ravipati

Secretary: Skyla Davies

We are excited to be supporting our Year 10 Semi Formal committee with raising money to assist in this event later in the year. In addition to supporting this cause, we are working on another fundrasier which will aim to supporting a local charity. We are busy brainstorming ideas and can't wait to announce our chosen event and local charity we will be supporting. Stay tuned!

Our Student Council mission statement:

The Foxwell Student Council's Mission is to promote kindness and provide support to our students, whilst also influencing change within the local community.

Northern Collegiate

We are the 2023 Northern Collegiate Team from Foxwell State Secondary College! Northern Collegiate is a program which runs here on the Sunny GC and engages Year 10 students each and every year. The Foxwell Northern Collegiate Team have been working incredibly hard to receive donations from multiple different businesses in the local area, in order to support Australian wide charites including: Animal Welfare League, Rosie’s, Pregnancy and Family Support, Hearts Purple, Stationary Aid, Cancer Council and Hope in a Suitcase! While our students are actively supporting the community, they are also learning vital leadership skills; shaping them to be successful young adults in the future. Be sure to keep a look out for a Noodle Drive which will be taking place throughout the next few weeks. More information on this will also be provided on Student SharePoint.

THRIVE Program 

For the last 5 weeks, a select group of Year 9 and 10 male students have been partaking in the THRIVE program. This program is run by Zeb Taia (former profesisonal Rugby League player) and the AIM Foundation, and facilitated by Mr Jesse Way. These students have been learning about the importance of opening up, being honest and respecting themselves and others. We are looking forward to seeing how these boys learn and grow and use these skills to spread kindness and demonstrate leadership in the school community. 

I look forward to continuing to update our school community on all of the amazing success that our students are having here at Foxwell and supporting them in achieving their goals!
