PLP… “PLP”(Person Learning Program) is a lesson that all students in year 10 undertake. This program is design to help and guide students on their future career pathways. During this program students go to Adelaide (our capital city) and we visit different work places and explore the working world. Also each student will undertake work experience in a field of work they are interested in. Students on Careers week visiting AAMI Stadium.
Op Flinders… Some students and teaches on Op Flinders. “Op Flinders” (Operation Flinders) is a program designed to help rebellious teenagers. It is a camp that goes for 7 days which includes hiking through the Flinders Rangers. While on the camp the students are to help out and look after themselves and each other.

During the course you study and at the end of the camp you will have an exam and you can gain your Skin Diving Certificate. Students doing land bases activies. Students doing some water activities.
Cleanup Some of the community service we do on Kangaroo Island is a clean up. We will go to some part of the Island and pick up all the rubbish we find lying around. We usually fill up a couple bags.
Dolphinwatch A group goes out on a boat with cameras to take pictures of dolphins and come back to identify the dolphins and catalogue the pictures. It helps us keep track of how many dolphins we’ve got hanging around.
Treeplanting Every year the Kingscote Yr 10 class goes out to Penneshaw to plant trees. We stay out there for about an hour and we get a few boxes of trees planted.
Beachcombing Beach combing is a cleanup except the Yr 1,2 and 3’s do it on the beach. They find a lot of plastic bags and glass and often see marine animals like crabs.

Rock Eisteddfod • Rock Eisteddfod is a program where you dance to music to tell a story. Here are some pictures of Rock Eisteddfod.
Asian market • At the Asian market we sell products that we have either cooked, made or grown. These are set up through stalls. 10% profits of the school based stalls go to charity. At the Asian markets there are fun and games for all ages.
Casual days • Casual days are usually themed, the students always have to bring a gold coin donation which goes to the charity of choice. For example we have Crazy hair days for the leukaemia foundation.
Raising Money • Most of the fund raising is charity based and all of the money raised goes to the particular charity of choice. For example: The Pakistan Flood Appeal.
Other cultures • We learn Indonesian. To experience as much of the Indonesian culture with out leaving the country we have Indonesian excursions. We have an annual Indonesian camp.
