SI On The Terrace – Cyril Jackson Senior Campus Health Day – June 2011

Filed under: Image Gallery 2011 — admin @ July 5, 2011 4:04 pm

SI On The Terrace participated again in the annual Health Festival at Cyril Jackson Senior Campus. The aim is to create links that promote healthy lifestyles, which in turn will assist in achieving personal and educational goals. It is also an opportunity for students to be in contact with community agencies that provide health services, information and support. This year there were over 50 displays and stalls raining from sexual health and drug abuse, to healthy eating and RAC road safety. While our club has previously provided female students with an opportunity on the STS Leeuwin, this year we have changed course to focus on helping students get access to their driving licence. The school was the recent recipient of the Stella Giles Award for their program “Keys for Life”, so we will continue to support the school in this area.

On our stand, students were encouraged to fill out a quiz with questions on how to get a learners permit and also on the status of women in society; for example who is Australia’s first female prime minister? Some did not know! And do you know when women received the right to vote in WA? (1899).

This is a photo of member Christiane De Mesa helping a student to fill out the quiz. While the first prize was a road rules DVD, the iTunes $20 voucher provided quite a bit of incentive too. The DVD came from member Annie Folk’s business, The Language Centre, Unit 4, 201 Carr Place LEEDERVILLE WA 6007 Ph: (08) 9328 8965 Email: language@iinet.net.au. Several other schools attending the event sort a copy of our questionnaire and wanted to know where to get the DVD; so that was good indication our stand and efforts were on target!
