St Brigid’s and Telethon Speech & Hearing

Published 26/02/2024 · Academic
Did you know that our College is a Telethon Speech & Hearing Outpost school?
Telethon Speech & Hearing & Outpost program is a comprehensive in-school support program spread over a network of primary and secondary schools across Perth. The program allows students with hearing loss from Kindy to Y12 to take a full and active part in mainstream school life.
Yesterday was Cochlear Implant Day- and our very own Lucy M was featured by TSH.
Here’s a peek inside how TSH and SBC support our students who are part of the Outpost Program. Thanks TSH for sharing Lucy’s story.

Year 11 Biology Embraces the Bush!
Gear up for adventure! Last week, our intrepid Year 11 Biology students swapped the classroom for the great outdoors, participating in a special field camp at Dwellingup alongside Mazenod College. This immersive experience provided a first-hand look at the fascinating world of ecological monitoring. Guided by the esteemed Mr. C, Environmental Educator of the Year, the students learned the art of fauna trapping – a crucial skill for understanding native animal populations. Just before sunset they set traps to capture nocturnal visitors, waking before dawn with anticipation to see what critters called the bushland home. Their efforts were rewarded with the exciting discovery of three Mardos and a curious Quenda! While the day brought a quite a bit of rain, the students’ spirits remained high as they delved into the techniques of flora surveys. Despite returning a little soggy, their knowledge and enthusiasm were truly enriched. This valuable camp experience forms the foundation for an exciting project back at St Brigid’s. The Year 11 biologists will now conduct a baseline flora survey of our very own school bushland. Armed with this data, they’ll then develop a conservation plan to ensure this precious ecosystem thrives for future generations. Stay tuned! We can’t wait to see the amazing results of their exploration and conservation efforts.
