Mr Miller talks about Adventure Learning
Mrs Preston with lots of interested students
St Luke’s was abuzz with excitement on Wednesday 25 July as Mr Miller introduced the students to Adventure Learning.
So what is Adventure Learning? With a clever use of time, the College has been able to allocate each Wednesday afternoon to students working of projects of their choice, learning in an area of their own interest without outside of the traditional curriculum and with students from other stages.
Staff set up a ‘courses expo’ and students had the opportunity to move around the Hub and learn more about the courses on offer (there were over 45 courses for them to choose from!). Just a small sample of the courses running includes ‘Slime Madness’, ‘Masterchef Junior’, ‘Design and Make a Pokemon’, ‘Minecraft Madness’ and ‘St Luke’s Radio’.
Student response to Adventure Learning has been fantastic, and when asked about what they like, almost all refer to the CHOICE given to them. Majorie (Year 7) said ‘Being able to choose what we like makes it more fun for us’ and Diannella (Year 7) said ‘I like being able to choose courses that match my skills and interests’.
In Week 10 we will exhibit the results of our learning at an Showcase event, open to parents and the wider community.
Watch our social media and website for updates about Adventure Learning over the course of the term - chances are you will see posts from the ‘Content Creation Team’, another course on offering as part of this awesome new initiative at St Luke’s.

Big shoutout to Cassandra and Mehwish in Year 12 for organising a 10 week Model United Nations (MUN) program, running every Tuesday after school in Term 2! n the first session, students learned more about Model United Nations and formed teams who were then assigned a country to represent. The topic for Term 2 is: "Protecting Human Rights Amid Rising Global Inequalities" (aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 16) Each week, students will represent their countries, undertake research , draft position statements, and practise diplomacy and negotiation. In Week 10, they’ll take part in a full MUN debate — simulating a real UN session.

A great evening tonight listening to our counsellors discuss how the Brain works - and stragies for working with children who are disregulated. We know parenting doesn’t come with a handbook, and our parent learning events have been well received and will continue next term. What would you most like to learn about as a parent?

Our very first Athletics Carnival was a vibrant celebration of school spirit, determination, and teamwork! Students from Arrunga and our Secondary years showcased their skills across a range of track and field events, as well as some throwback games like captain ball and tug of war — all competing for valuable house points. They cheered each other on with enthusiasm and pride, and our house colours lit up the day with friendly competition bringing out the best in everyone. Congratulations to our House Leaders for their leadership, and of course, to all of our participants for their incredible efforts. A massive thank you to Mrs Paz for organising this fantastic event, and to Mr Wellington, along with our dedicated staff and volunteers, for helping make the day run smoothly. We’re excited to see our primary years shine in their Athletics Carnivals over the coming weeks — stay tuned for the final results!

This week, we welcomed Simon Carroll from Global School Partners, who introduced us to our new partner school, St Gavin’s Academy in Kisii County, Kenya. With around 150 students, St Gavin’s is dedicated to improving access to quality education. A group of St Luke’s students has volunteered to look after this partnership and it will be a student led initiative. Over the next few months, they’ll raise awareness at assemblies, fundraise for resources, organise a letter-writing program with younger students, and find creative ways to connect with St Gavin’s. Global School Partners believes in the power of education to break the cycle of poverty and that every small effort counts. Through this partnership, our students will connect, collaborate, and grow, expanding their global awareness while developing a deeper understanding of the world around them.
