Year 9’s will combine sports biomechanics, coaching whilst engaging in team building with a new experience incorporating healthy living with a combination of lessons and FUN playing rounds of golf at Dorset Golf Course. As part of our Active Lifestyle program year 9 students will enjoy lessons at a driving range and many rounds of golf. Students will be provided all equipment upon arrival (If students have their own golf equipment, they will bring it to each session). A safety demonstration will also be run by Dorset Golf Professional staff and Heathmont College staff will be monitoring safety throughout each day. Students will have an opportunity to eat morning tea after each golf lesson and lunch will take place at the end of each golf round.
Students are required to arrive at Heathmont College at 8.30am every morning. Students will be driven to and from Dorset Golf Course every session. Wednesdays 4th, 11th, 18th Feb, 4th, 11th, 18th March, 22nd, 29th April, 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th May, 3rd, 17th, 24th June. Students will be dismissed from Heathmont College at 3.00pm.
I CAN Network partners with school leadership teams to develop inclusive school cultures. I CAN directly empowers Neurodivergent students with optimism, belonging, self-acceptance, pride and confidence. Students are invited to take up this opportunity to work with a mentor and build skills for communicating with others. This program offers a safe space where young people develop self-acceptance, belonging, optimism and confidence. It is also a great way to build and strengthen new friendships at Heathmont! The two stages of student progression are as follows: STAGE ONE – empowers Neurodivergent students with the basic outcome of the I CAN program: a positive neurodivergent identity. STAGE TWO – develops Neurodivergent students who are wanting to progress in the program and achieve outcomes around leadership and self-advocacy. Students are given opportunities to run activities during the session to help foster self-belief and empowerment. |
Participants will attend a one-hour session each from Week 3 until the end of term (8 sessions in total). The program will run at 10am on Wednesdays, and students will be exempt from their scheduled class to attend the program. |
Students will take part in a swim assessment to gauge their swimming ability for future water activities in 9LiFE – this is a requirement by the Department of Education and must be completed prior to any swimming activities (such as surfing etc). This session will include access to the dive pool for the swim tests and access to the diving boards afterwards. Students will be meeting at the stadium at the beginning of P3 and will walk as a group to Aquanation. Students will be dismissed from Aquanation at 2.30pm. Students are asked to bring their bathers, a towel, water bottle, snacks and lunch for the day. Students will have the opportunity to purchase food at the Aquanation cafe if they wish. Classes have not been added onto Compass yet, but it will compromise of the two 9Life OE classes. |
