We would like to express a heartfelt thank you to the Shiloh Youth for running our Term 2 Chapel. This amazing team of people presented the Christian message in a powerful and relevant way to both our Secondary and Primary students.
At Staines, we are committed to equipping our students to live happy, healthy lives. One way we achieve this is by partnering with Freedom Christian Co to teach our secondary school girls about maintaining healthy relationships.
In this workshop, our students learned the importance of setting healthy boundaries and enjoyed participating in various fun games with prizes.
At our Kindy Open Day, everyone had a blast! There was face-painting, obstacle courses and lots and lots of bubbles.
Our Student Representative Council (SRC) raised money for compassion through selling sushi and drinks.
At Staines Memorial College, we are committed to providing students with a well-rounded education.
This week, our secondary students had the opportunity to learn hands-on skills by taking care of our new show chickens. They fed the them, cleaned their living area, and administered de-worming pills.
We are excited to announce that we will showcase our chickens at the Ekka this year. Our students will set up the display and interact with visitors.

In anticipation of Game 1 of the 2024 State of Origin series, our students wore Maroon or Blue to support their team. We also had a Touch Football game between staff and students; students won 3-2.
This week's Character Strength was 'Humour'.
Two men were travelling down the road together when a bear appeared out of nowhere. Before the bear could spot them, one guy ran for a tree at the side of the road, climbed into its branches, and hid. The other man, who wasn’t as nimble as his tree-climbing companion, threw himself on the ground and pretended to be dead.
