House Gordon
      Football
             vs Lawson
On Tuesday 25th May, Year 7 and 8 house sports
took centre stage with Gordon and Lawson doing
battle in an AFL football match at lunch time.
Both teams were stacked with talent and with fine
weather, the stage was set for a titanic struggle.

Lawson flew out of the blocks and established
an early lead thanks to the dominance of Clancy
Pope and Jaxon Huston who dominated play.
Gordon were hanging for the half time whistle
and when it arrived they were 11 points down at
the main break.

The second half saw the game flip on its head
with Gordon dominating centre clearances and
piling on the goals. They quickly erased the 11
point deficit and went on a rampage kicking 4
goals to 1 in the second half to run out convincing
winners. Lucas Earl and Campbell Gibbons were
outstanding for Gordon.

Final score: Gordon 5 goals 1 point: 31 points to
Lawson 3 goals 4 points: 22 points

Best players:
Gordon: Lucas Earl, Campbell Gibbons, Cody
McInnes, Lachie McDonald, Sam Hughes

Lawson: Clancy Pope, Jaxon Huston, Tyler Van
Der Heyden

Gordon progress now to the final where they will
face the winner of Paterson and Dennis.

Our Year 12s attended a TIS day hosted by Chairo Christian School. A collective of Universities, TAFE Institutes and

Inspiring Young Women Event                                       *subject to COVIDSafe restrictions
On Wednesday 12th May, seven of our Year 10 and 11
students attended the Inspiring Young Women event at
the Warragul Country Club. At the event, they had the
opportunity to meet with students from other schools and
up to 50 women from various professions in the community.
During the evening the students learnt about the career
pathways of the professionals in the room and shared their
own hopes and dreams for the future. The students enjoyed
a two course meal and listened to guest speakers whom
shared their personal journeys. A fantastic night was had by
all and we would like to thank the Baw Baw Latrobe LLEN
for hosting the event.

From the School Nurse...

It’s Time We Talked
Presentation
On 28th April, Drouin Secondary hosted an evening
with Maree Crabbe who spoke to parents and
teachers about the impact of pornography on young
people’s sexual understandings and experiences.
The evening was informative, interesting and
empowering. Here are some thoughts from parents
who attended the evening:

“I have to admit that I was feeling quite nervous
about what content would be covered, with
relief and surprise, the evening was interesting,
engaging and relevant about the health and
wellbeing of our kids”.

“What I took away from the session is that it is
not the ‘talk about pornography’ that will help our
youth, but giving them the tools that they need
to live in the world where it exists and they WILL
be exposed to it. Tools to help them question what they are
exposed to and that doesn’t just go for pornography, it goes
for all media and communication”.

FIT2DRIVE Program
           On Thursday 27th May, all Year 11s and 12s had the opportunity to
           participate in the Fit2Drive Program.
           The Fit2Drive program aims to instill in young adults with the belief and
           capacity to change and influence attitudes and behaviours in relation
           to risky road use, and supports them to take responsibility for keeping
           themselves and their mates safe. The program does not teach driving
           skills, but instead focuses on the responsibilities of all young people
           either as drivers or passengers.
           This valuable program allowed students to listen to guest speaker
           stories, participate in role plays as well as discuss strategies in the
           workshops to support them to make safer choices when driving or as
           passengers.
           A big thank you to all senior students who participated in the program
           and to the Fit2Drive presenters who were able to cater their program to
           support our school community.
