Next year, Wodonga Middle Years College are running an “Activity Program”. Students will participate in an activity every Thursday afternoon which will help strengthen positive relationships within the school and broader community, engage students in their interest areas, allow students to follow a passion or even develop a new one. Overall, we believe students will want to attend school more which will ultimately improve students’ academic results.
All students will have the opportunity to select one activity that runs for a full term. There are a range of activities to choose from, most activities will be free of charge, but some activities will have a small cost. For those activities that have a cost, eligible families will be able to use the Camps Sports and Excursion Funds (CSEF) to help cover all or part of the cost.
Students will be able to make afternoon activity selections as follows:
- 2020 Year 9 students will be in week 7
- 2020 Year 8 students will be in week 8
- 2020 Year 7 students will be in week 10 (Headstart week)
Please spend some time at home discussing the most suitable option for your child. Options for the program including all costs and venue locations are attached.
Students who select an activity that has a cost associated with it must be paid in full by week 2, Term 1, 2020 otherwise they will lose their position on that activity.
