As we commemorate ANZAC Day today, maybe even now watching the Collingwood v Essendon game, perhaps take the time to read one of the heartwarming stories from yesterdays service at school.
Due to the increase in student numbers, we had 7s, 11s and 12s at the ceremony and we were able to live stream the ceremony to 8s, 9s and 10s direct to their classrooms.
Taking note of the Year 7s especially at the front of the assembly, very proud to see them watch the service with such respect. Parents and families you would be very proud too.
Stories are often how we can relay what ANZAC Day is all about, especially to a younger audience. Our first story came from ex serviceman and teacher Andrew Duncan...........
The Australian Defence Force of today is made up of people from so many walks of life. People with a wide range of ethnic backgrounds, religion, political beliefs, and life experiences. Every single one of them swore an oath to serve their country, knowing that there was a possibility that service might lead to them being put in incredible danger, enduring significant discomfort and prolonged separation from friends and family. When I joined in 2009, we were barely half-way through our commitment to Afghanistan, and still had troops operating in Iraq, and on peacekeeping and reconstruction forces in Timor Leste. Everyone in my platoon during basic training signed on with the knowledge that we would likely be in one of those places within the year. 
We talked a lot about why we’d joined. For some like me, it was because we were the current generation in long lines of military service in our families. Some joined because they thought it would be a great adventure, others because they felt like it would look good on a resume. For some, it was about straightening themselves out after getting into trouble as teenagers. Whatever our reasons for joining were, our biggest reasons for sticking it out very quickly became the people next to us. Regardless of our mixed backgrounds, personalities, and beliefs, we gradually became a unified team. Across my time in service, I saw so many people from groups that would normally be in conflict in wider society, put their differences and backgrounds aside because they felt that the challenges in front of us were a far more important issue than even decades of ethnic, religious, or political division.  
This phenomenon is nothing new in Australia’s military, but is an extension of what has been going on since the first ANZAC troops hit the beach at Gallipoli. Back then, it was the first time that our soldiers fought as Australians, rather than soldiers of the various British colonies that became our States. Sure, the New South Welshmen still served it up to the Queenslanders, and they would in turn roast the Victorians, and then they’d all get together to stir up the Kiwis. But at the end of the day, everyone, from every state, and from both sides of the Tasman Sea, put their backgrounds aside and pushed in the same direction. Even more importantly, the Gallipoli campaign saw Australian Indigenous troops and Māori troops fighting hard for their respective nations as well.
But here’s the strange thing about all this variety… At no point in my years of service, or in the hundreds of people I served with, did I ever meet a superhero. There were no Captain Americas, no Supermen, and no Scarlet Witches. There were just normal people. Yes, they were very fit, well trained, and well equipped, but in the end they were all human. So you might well ask, “what does it take for a human to be a hero?” I can tell you, it’s not much more than a bit of willpower, a bit of personal courage, a fair bit of being in the wrong place at the right time, and a lot of determination to keep going when things get tough.  
Real heroes come in all shapes and sizes, but I’d like to tell you about a few of my favourites. 
Leonard Waters was a Gamilaraay man, from Nindigully in outback Queensland. After the Japanese joined the Second World War, Len joined the Royal Australian Air Force as an aircraft mechanic. He wasn’t content with staying on the ground, though, and became the first Indigenous pilot in the RAAF after ranking 4th in his class at flight school. He was transferred to a fighter squadron, flying P-40 Kittyhawks, and flew nearly 100 combat missions against Japanese targets in Indonesia and Borneo. On one of those missions, his aircraft, which he’d named Black Magic, was hit by a Japanese anti-aircraft shell that didn’t detonate, but imbedded itself right next to his fuel tank. After a very tense two hours, he managed to nurse the plane back to base, and landed it safely. He mentioned later that it was the softest landing he’d ever had.
Another of my heroes, is Nancy Wake. She was born in New Zealand, but moved to Australia and trained as a nurse. While on a holiday in France with a friend, she met the love of her life and was married in 1939. Just six months later, France was invaded by Germany, and Nancy and her husband joined the French Resistance. They worked tirelessly to assist Jewish refugees, as well Allied soldiers and airmen, to escape capture and evacuate to Spain and Britain. Nancy herself evacuated to Britain in 1940, but quickly volunteered with the French Section of the British Special Operations Executive. After further training, Nancy parachuted back into France to arm, train, and organise French Resistance fighters. She was so elusive, and her operations so damaging to the German occupation, that the German authorities referred to her as the White Mouse. When the Allies commenced their landings in Normandy in June 1944, Nancy and other operatives in the Auvergne Group were instrumental in sowing chaos behind the German lines, destroying transport and communication networks all along the Normandy coast.
But my personal hero is someone I’ve actually worked with. Yet another great New Zealander that we’ve claimed as an Aussie, Curtis McGrath was born in Queenstown, but moved to Queensland. Like me, Curtis was a Combat Engineer, and was involved in clearing mines and improvised explosive devices in Afghanistan. “Kiwi’s” tour was the one immediately after mine, so while I was readjusting to life back at home, he and some of my other mates were walking the same routes I had just a few months earlier. Unfortunately, Curtis was badly injured when a hidden bomb took both his legs. As the story goes, he was cracking jokes while he was being loaded onto the evac helicopter, and saying “oh well, I guess I should try out for the Paralympics!’ Less than three months later, I was watching the welcome home parade for Curtis’ rotation, and as they’re about to march off, he steps onto the parade ground with a mate either side propping him up. He was only a few months into his rehabilitation, but once he got into position, his mates stepped aside, and he walked. He was a bit shaky, but he walked. The really mad bit is, 4 years later, he followed through on his joke, and won gold in Para-kayak at the Rio Olympics. Then he did it again in Tokyo, and right now he’s currently training to do it yet again in Paris.

He might not be a superhuman, but he is my hero.

The WA Student number mentioned is displayed on school reports.From raising my kids in Kwinana, I know it’s the extra costs during those school years – things like stationery, excursions, or a new pair of school shoes – that can really put a dent in your household budget.

And I know the impact those extra costs can have. So my team and I are doing something about it.

During Term 2, parents will receive direct payments of $150 for each child in kindy to year 6, and $250 for each child in year 7 to 12.

It’s support for all families – helping them to pay for those essential school uniforms, a new backpack, a calculator, sport and music costs, or even food for their kids’ lunchboxes.

The new payment is on top of our recent relief measures – like household electricity credits and free public transport for students going to school and everyone else on Sundays – helping to take a bit of the pressure off for WA families.

Sea Trials went very well with Project Down-Under completing the full trial in under 8 minutes. This is the first time this has been done by a team from Hampton at a State or National Final! Sea Tech Savants ROV looked very good before being beset with a series of problems including a corroded wire that interfered with their camera function and side motor that malfunctioned. They showed a great deal of resilience and character trying to work through their challenges and still posted a strong trial run (completing 4 of the 5 tasks) which is equal to the highest score any of our teams has posted in previous Sea Trials. 

Vector Projection had the morning to set up their trade booth which looks excellent. Im really looking forward to stopping by their set up and checking out their iPad display. They have taken quite a few lessons from their previous State and National experiences and really produced a quality display.

The 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥’𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 at Hampton is showing great progress and slowly becoming a whole school approach.

Welcome 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐮𝐫𝐮, the Noongar season of adolescence.
Bunuru is the hottest time of the year with little to no rain. It is a great time for living and fishing by the coast and rivers.

This is the season when lots of white flowers bloom such as jarrah marri and ghost gums.

Seed cones change from green to bright red as they ripen. Emus often eat the toxic fleshy outer layer of these seed cones!

Families may remember the wonderful Mel McVee working with students on the frieze at the front of the school during the 50th anniversary celebrations in 2016.
Mel now has another project taking place during the school holidays.  Refer to her FB post details below:
Its been a while but who is up for a paint over the school holidays!!
Come add a bit of colour to the Noranda Station Pedestrian Underpass being delivered as part of the METRONET Morley Ellenbrook Line.
Suitable for all ages (although all children will need to be supervised by an adult), this is a great opportunity to contribute to the banksia and wetlands-themed mural which will reflect the native flora and fauna of the area.
Painting will take place on Monday 29 January 2024, between 10am and 4pm.
Spots are limited, so please book your painting time via the Event Finda website:
https://www.eventfinda.com.au/.../noranda-paint-by.../perth
It’s still a closed site, so all participants will need to walk to the site via parking at Mahogany Park (more details are on the ticket)
Participants are advised to wear closed in shoes, clothes suitable for painting, bring water, be sun smart and be ready for some fun!
There will be a photographer and videographer on site on the day.
Please note, there are no toilets available on the site on the day. The closest public toilets are located at Robert Thompson Reserve
This is just one of the 19 public art pieces across five new stations on the METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook Line, making it the largest art collection commissioned on a METRONET project to date.

Welcome to 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐤 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧.
Birak typically spans from December to January, marking the hot and dry season. 🔥 During this time, the land undergoes a transformation, as temperatures rise and vegetation becomes parched. Traditionally, the Noongar people utilized this season for controlled burning, managing the landscape to promote new growth and facilitate hunting.
Indigenous plants such as the grasstree and banksia, known for their ability to withstand the heat, become prominent during Birak. The flowers are developing seeds and nuts, snakes and🦎 reptiles shed their skins, chicks leave the nest and young animals are transitioning into adulthood, making their way out into the world. 🐥
