A short note to say well done to all the TYs who received their STMC Junior Cert acknowledgement this week.
Also there will be Student Council elections next week so be sure to stay tuned in to proceedings. Looking forward to working with the incumbents!
Some photos from Thursday in Wanderers were to the victors the spoils! Well done to 4.5 on their win over 4.1 in the interclass Aussie Rules Test. All winning teams from Thursday will be enjoying their One4All vouchers.
Some lovely football played from both sides...

YOUNG SOCIAL INNOVATORS Sign Up Form
Why Get Involved?
There are many reasons to get involved in YSI.
Firstly, it will go towards helping you complete the Community Participation section of you Gaisce Award.
As a young innovator you’ll be challenged to look at the world around you and to identify and explore issues affecting you, your friends, your community and wider society. More than just coming up with a solution, you will be asked to put that idea into action and to create change. You will see other perspectives, using your own expertise and creativity to design solutions based on real human experience and need. You will gain real experience working in a team and develop skills in leadership, communication and project planning and management.
Use your wisdom
During the YSI experience, we want you to identify and develop your own wisdom, strengths, talents and take action in a way that not only makes a difference but is also fun! By working with your friends, teachers, educators and other members of the community, you can be a force for social good.
Develop your skills
YSI is committed to helping young people to develop 21st century learning skills including:
Empowerment
Ability to seek solutions
Flexibility
Leadership
Empathy
Self awareness
Awareness of social need
Appreciating difference
Coping strategies
Self Esteem
Critical thinking
Creative thinking
Collaboration
Communication
Community
What is social innovation?
Social innovation is ‘the practice of using creativity to develop solutions which improve the wellbeing of people and society’.
Young Social Innovators
Becoming a social innovator
A social innovator is someone who uses their creativity and talents to make a difference. Working with others in a team you explore an issue of concern, get to understand it and come up and do something innovative to address that concern.
The key milestones are as follows:
October - students outline their big idea in their project outline & develop a project timeline
Feb 2021 - students summarise in 2 minutes their project - why they chose the topic, what they did, why it matters
March 2021 - students participate in online YSI week social media campaign and link with DCC
April 2021 - students submit project (it is not a thesis, just a summary of work done). A local showcase is being organised to show students' work and engage with DCC.
May 2021 - students can receive a Global Citizens CV and certification. Best projects are short-listed by external adjudicators for awards.
