Keys for Life

Keys4Life is a pre-driver program that helps to educate young people about safer road use and allows them to sit their Learner's Permit Theory Test. Preparing young people for safer driving is an important component of the Western Australian road safety strategy as each year young drivers are over-represented in road crash statistics.

Students also learn about the importance of planning when going out, and strategies to help ensure their safety.  This endorsed program is delivered as part of our Centre's focus on promoting independence for our students.

Congratulations to Liam, Rhys and Han  on passing their Learners Permit Theory Test of the Keys for Life Pre-Driver Education Program this year.  Well done.

DRUMBEAT

DRUMBEAT is an acronym for (Discovering Relationships Using Music; Beliefs, Emotions, Attitudes, & Thoughts).

The students have enjoyed learning about the drums, and mastering the basic drumming strokes of Bass, Tone, Slap, and scratch. Learning to work as a team and listening to the beats engages the students and leads to building social skills, and  increased self-esteem. Playing rhythm-based games on the drums we have had the opportunity to discuss and explore topics including peer pressure, communication, and dealing with emotions. During the weekly lessons making music together as a group the confidence of students to participate and add their own ideas and thoughts has increased throughout the semester. Games and “Rumbles” on the drums are a way for students to take ownership and discus topics and themes that are important to them in a safe place. The students have embraced the program and developed a real sense of community in the group and have enjoyed welcoming new members.

The students have been composing and practicing for our performance at the End of Year Awards & Graduation Ceremony, and are excited to be performing for their peers.

School Reunion

We had a HUGE turnout of former students coming together to share memories and stories of their time as students of CJSC ESC at our annual school reunion this Term.  It was so great to see past students and hear about their amazing accomplishments since graduating with us.
Staff enjoyed listening to their stories and what they have been up to since leaving school.  It was nice to hear some students are still friends after all these years. Bean@bility supplied a delicious morning tea and refreshments.
Some students couldn’t attend due to work commitments.  Thank you to everyone who attended.
