There is some amazing writing happening across the school in every classroom and students were very proud to display their work.

Students in the Big Sis, Lil’ Sis Program visited the Girls Academy for their Friday Feed with

the Year 10 students. Ms Lateesha Jeffrey, Program Manager at Girls Academy introduced

at Taminmin College in their learning and planning pathways for their future.

Friday Feed was especially fun with spaghetti bolognaise, quiche, spring rolls and laming-

tons on offer for the students to eat. They then made bracelets and played a range of board

games and activities.

Big Sis students will visit Girls Academy at Taminmin College again in Week 8 to participate

in a range of mentoring activities with the Year 10 students.
