Welcome to Bayswater Secondary College
Extreme Games
On Thursday 31st July, Scripture Union is running “Extreme Games’, an interactive program that focuses on building resilience and connectedness to the school as well as leadership skills and positive relationships among the students. The program has been funded by the Bendigo Bank. Students will participate in activities which may include: Zorb Ball, Tug of war, Sumo Suits, Gladiator Basher Poles, Giant Boxing Gloves, Giant Jenga, Swiss Balls, ‘No Arms and Legs’ discussion (video of Nick Vujicic), Decoder, Round Jumping Castle. Students will be in small groups and will be supervised by Bayswater Secondary College staff, including the Adolescent Health Nurse, and 11 Youth Workers from Scripture Union who are trained facilitators. Please find documentation attached that indicates what the activities are and the risk management for the activities. All activities have appropriate equipment for the students to wear. Students only need their PE uniform. If you have any questions about the activity, please do not hesitate to contact the college.
An example of the protective clothing that will be worn can be seen in the following image

No Energy Drinks Allowed
At the School Council Meeting, July 30 2013, a motion was passed to ban all energy drinks at the college and on college activities. This decision was made as evidence has shown that these drinks can have detrimental effects on young people’s health and behaviour as well as being addictive. Any student bringing these to school will have them confiscated. If the drink has been opened, the drink will be tipped out. If the drink has not been open, it will be stored in the office for a parent/carer to collect. Your support in this matter is appreciated.
We look forward to working with you in 2014.
