We had the pleasure of having all our prospective new students on site late last week as part of the Enrolment Day process. It was pleasing to see the excitement of those that have been accepted into WACoA Denmark. We took the opportunity to share a range of information with families that visited as part of the activities to prepare the students for 2026.

It is a unique educational scenario that exists at WACoA Denmark. While prospective students visited with their families last week we made it a priority to share some key messages;

• Students are ‘Planted’ here where they will “Grow” and “Harvest” as they “Thrive” in our school community,

• Being at WACoA - Denmark is hard work and the next 2-3 years can set up the next 20+ if students make the most of their opportunities,

• There will be challenges along the way as over 50 new students come into the College, who will have a variety of behaviours, needs, habits, experiences, backgrounds etc. We do not have a magic wand to make all our new students terrific straight away, however those that learn and develop their skills along the way will benefit immensely,

• The social media trap and the low-level social skills some students exhibit is also a challenge for many. Various scenarios need to be manoeuvred through carefully,

• The high number of success stories of past students show us and the local community that there is a huge benefit in attending WACoA Denmark, however the level of this benefit depends on how students respond to the many challenges that present themselves,

• We are an Agricultural College and can only operate if students complete the work required on Farm. It’s a commitment that is rewarded with the 3+ certificates and other benefits students can obtain with their enrolment. Completing the Certificate III Agriculture course is an important element of this which is not negotiable.
