All Year 10 students are involved in community services as a requirement for the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE). Many students complete their service in the wider community but opportunities exist to complete some hours within the school structure.sStudent Services collaborates with School Volunteers Incorporated to run the School Volunteer Program. This program is a mentoring program that uses volunteers from the community. Volunteers have a desire to work with young people and have some time they wish to put to use in a very positive way. The volunteers are cleared and trained by School Volunteers Incorporated (SVP).The mentors who work in our school spend one hour each week with their mentoring student. The mentors have proved to be extremely valuable in helping students increase their levels of confidence and self esteem. We are always keen to welcome new mentors.

The ACE program (Adolescents Coping with Emotions) is an early intervention program aimed at building resilience and helping young people to develop more effective coping strategies for dealing with the many challenges of adolescence.The program aims to teach the students ways to challenge their thinking patterns, develop problem solving strategies and learn better ways to get along with others and to boost their self esteem.This course is normally offered to Year 8 and 9 students.Year 11 Mentors
