Do It For Dolly Day 2025: A Day of Kindness, Connection, and Community Spirit

Our college recently celebrated Do It For Dolly Day 2025 with a vibrant and meaningful display of kindness, compassion, and unity. Organised by our dedicated Year 12 Prefects and supported by the Year 10 Student Councillors, this year’s event was our largest and most successful yet—a true testament to the growing commitment among students to take a stand against bullying.

Year 12 Assessments and Exams

The Year 12s and I are breathing a sigh of relief after completing a gruelling set of assessments. It began in Week 4 with General students sitting their Externally Set Tasks (ESTs), which seemed particularly challenging this year. Congratulations to those who performed well!

The Trades and Training Learning Areas are as busy as ever, with students engaged in a diverse range of tasks and experiences. We are beginning to see tangible results, as many students achieve various Units of Competency throughout the school. It is particularly rewarding to see Year 12 students successfully applying their knowledge and skills to accomplish their required units in each VET area.

Year 10 Career Education / Wellbeing Sessions

It is essential that our Year 10 students understand the significance of their transition into Year 11 in 2026. At WACOA – Denmark, we are committed to assisting them in making informed choices about their Senior School options and recognising the value of the qualifications offered on-site.

Introducing Your New Principal: A Fresh Chapter at WA College of Agriculture Denmark

It is a real privilege to introduce myself as the new principal of WA College of Agriculture Denmark. After months of anticipation, I am genuinely excited to have arrived and to begin leading such a vibrant community. 

Important Dates for Term 2 2025

Term 1 is always exciting and full of opportunities for our new and existing students to integrate and settle into the College for the year ahead. We are really pleased with the approach the College has endorsed to commence the school year as it aims to provide a meaningful transition and comprehensive induction for our newly enrolled students.

What’s been happening on farm?

Well as usual the farm has been a busy site with the influx of new and returning students along with seasonal farming activities.

Exciting Announcement: Our Newly Elected Year 10 Councellors!

We are thrilled to announce the election of our new Year 10 Councellors: Pippa Van de Reit, Milly Eames, Abby Gorman, and Samara Edwards!

Assemblies

We recently had assemblies with different year groups and acknowledged the great efforts of students with their progress/results/Farm work/Values. Students would have either received certificates and or points that contribute to obtaining other rewards.

Term 2 Wrap Up

The end of the term has come around very quickly. There have been a number of highlights this term, including Wagin Woolorama, Gate to Plate, the Peaceful Bay camp and students have attended the Biology camp with students from North Albany SHS. In the last two weeks of term a group of students will attend the University Tour to Perth and the year 10 group will be off on the Industry Adventure Tour. A very busy term indeed.

Important Dates for Term 1 2025

Well, here we are again with another New Year. How time flies. Vale Rob Smith (1945 past student, life member, name on Honour Wall).

New Points Reward System

We are excited to introduce a new Points Reward System at the College to recognise and celebrate students who consistently demonstrate positive behaviour, effort, participation and school values.

Welcome back to another school year, I hope all students and their families had a fabulous summer holiday and are feeling fresh and inspired to take on another year.

Trades and Training areas are looking great and have been preparing for the new year well.  Some changes in workspaces have enabled us to have a dedicated space for Conservation and Ecosystem Management (CEM). The machine shop area, with mill and lathes, has been further developed to suit the needs of the Design and Technology students.

A very positive start

Seeing the Year 10 students and new Year 11 students arrive at the College and commence their first day was similar to seeing pre-primary students arriving for their first day of school. There was a mixture of emotions and feelings from being eager, nervous, and excited about starting a new adventure. Most students have settled in well and immersed themselves into the variety of dynamic programs on offer. I am sure parents are taking the time to hear what is happening across the courses.

Welcome to Term 1

Welcome back to the new school year. We have had such a great start to the year, the students have settled in well and so have our staff. It has been great to welcome some new staff into the College this year.

Mike Martin and I went to Denmark for the college Graduation event on 15th November. We were fortunate enough to stay with Deputy Principal Alf Mungioli – thanks Alf. We displayed the four photo history banners representing the years 1942 to 1956 in the gymnasium. They proved popular with those wishing to find out more about the school beginnings.
