It’s been an exceptionally busy term!

As we move through what has been an exceptionally busy and rewarding term at WACOA Denmark, it has been wonderful to see our students engaging so positively in a wide range of learning opportunities, events and celebrations across the College.

Our Year 12 students are certainly embracing their final year, proudly wearing their leavers’ jumpers. They look fantastic and represent the strong sense of pride and belonging that comes with being part of our college community.

Our Year 10 students recently had the opportunity to attend the Peaceful Bay camp, an experience designed to strengthen connections with peers, build relationships and further develop teamwork skills. Camps such as this play an important role in supporting student wellbeing and fostering positive peer relationships.

We were also extremely proud of the students who represented the college at Wagin Woolorama. Once again, WACOA Denmark students showcased their skills, professionalism and passion for agriculture, walking away with several awards. Their efforts and achievements reflect both their hard work and the dedication of staff who support these valuable learning experiences.

In addition, our Year 11 and 12 students participated in the University Tour, broadening their understanding of the wide range of agricultural industry pathways available at a tertiary level. These experiences are invaluable in helping students make informed decisions about their future study and career options.

Our College farm activities have also been a significant highlight this term. We are coming to the end of our first calving for the year, providing students with hands-on learning opportunities and real-world experience. Students have thoroughly enjoyed interacting with and feeding the Friesian cattle, as well as learning to safely operate agricultural machinery under staff supervision. We also recently celebrated a successful grape harvest, further showcasing the diverse agricultural programs available to our students and the strong practical focus of learning at the College.

The College Ball was another highlight of the term and a truly fantastic event. It was wonderful to see students enjoying a formal evening together, celebrating friendships and creating lasting memories.

We are also delighted to share that our history wall celebrating the 1940s and 1950s has now been completed and is proudly displayed in the dining hall. This project honours the rich history of our College, with plans already underway to continue adding displays for each decade. A sincere thank you is extended to our Old Collegians for their support and contributions to this initiative.

As always, we continue to closely monitor students’ academic progress. Progress reports will be released at the end of term, and families will receive information on how to book interviews with your child’s teachers. These conversations provide an important opportunity to discuss learning progress and set goals for the remainder of the year.

Thank you for your continued support of WACOA Denmark. It has been a busy term, but one filled with outstanding achievements, meaningful experiences and strong community connections.
