4 Southern Peninsula Division Lawn Bowls Competition 2017 Hastings Bowling Club were hosts to the Southern Peninsula Division SSV Lawn Bowls competition on Wednesday October 11 th.

The 2017 Pierre De Coubertin Awards The Pierre de Coubertin Awards, an initiative of the Victorian Olympic Council and the Department of Education and Training, turned 20 this year and WPSC was one of the 15 schools who have participated each year since its inception in There are now over 200 school representatives receiving this award-an indication of the significance and esteem in which this award is held. Named after the founder of the Modern Olympic Games, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the awards aim to recognise students who demonstrate attributes consistent with the fundamental aims of the Olympic movement. These attributes include participation in sporting endeavours with a particular emphasis on competing and commendable sporting behavior. This year the award was presented to Vicki Hogan-Keogh a Year 12 student. The award ceremony was held on Sunday June 23 rd at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) and provided the opportunity to connect one on one with Olympians: Linley Frame Swimming, Ellia Green Gold medalist Rugby, Belinda Hocking Swimming, Jeff Riseley Athletics, Pam Ryan Silver and Bronze medalist Athletics and Trevor Vincent Athletics. The day also included a tour of the Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS) which Matt Foy also attended. Western Port Secondary College also received a certificate recognising our support. Pierre s inspiring message reminds us that: The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part. Just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. Thanks Kevin! Western Port Secondary College would like to thank Mr Kevin Toohey and the boys from KK Steel for their continued support to the College. Kevin recently came to the College to help staff member, Ms Christina Moss to set up the welding bays in our new Trade Training Centre. The school is now offering new courses for both year 9 and 10 students in basic engineering, welding and fabrication. This to provide students with more hands on experience in an industry, which is best, suited to the area and therefore increasing employment opportunities for its students. Kevin has been keen to support the new courses because he understands and sees the value of these skills in an industry that continues to thrive against automation and robotic intervention. Just giving students the opportunity to learn these skills so that they can use them in later life or help them get into TAFE or onto an apprenticeship is invaluable.
