A highlight of the term was the House Athletics carnival in week 8. Staff and students looked amazing in their bright House colours, the sun was shining and there was plenty smiles and laughter. Well done to all students for displaying our school USTAR values and participating with enthusiasm. Thank you Ms Heard, Mr Holdsworth, and Ms Pereira for organising the carnival and preparing students throughout the term in PE lessons, it was a wonderful day.








This week, Mrs Vann organised a Wanyara incursion incorporating interactive Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural experiences including dance, painting and yarning to learn about symbols, cultural practices, languages and laws. The activities develop understanding of Indigenous Australians and promote inclusion, acceptance, connection and respect. Thank you, Mrs Vann, and the ACSF Committee for organising the whole school incursion.












Our partnership with Valued Lives has continued this year, with Ben Larcombe supporting year 12 students to prepare for their transition from school through a Discovery process. On the 29th of August, students and families enjoyed a Connect Network evening with a range of service providers to identify opportunities for post school pathways. The Connect evening is about empowering students to share their discovery portfolios and goals for the future and service providers using this information to assist students identifying possible post school programs and opportunities. It was a positive evening, students and families enjoyed the opportunity to have discussions and explore opportunities for the future.






Ms Hamel will be leaving us at the end of the term, we wish her the very best for the birth of her baby later in the year. Ms Bruns will be starting a position at Aquinas College next term and Ms Pumphrey will be starting a new position, from week 3 in term 4, at Coolbellup Learning Centre. We wish them all the best in their new positions.
Ms Bruns, Ms Hamel & Ms Pumphrey






Staff and students are looking forward to a well-deserved relaxing holiday break.

BOOK WEEK 2023 - READ, GROW, INSPIRE
On Friday, 25th August 2023, LSHS and ESC celebrated Book Week. This year the theme for Book Week was 'Read, Grown Inspire' and based on the exceptional costumes and enthusiasm, we could see that our students (and staff) were very inspired by the books they've read.

It was fantastic to see Tarak out and about at community events and the leeming ESC staff and students loved hanging out with Tarak at the Athletics Carnival in Week 8. Tarak even participated in the staff vs students relay.
We are looking forward to seeing more of Tarak around the school community.

Another term done and dusted! Hard to believe there is just one more term to go in Year 11 for this group of young men!
We have been busy over the last 5 weeks, enjoying camps, carnivals, cooking experiences and working hard to complete our ASDAN portfolios.
The students also only have one term left of their current work placements as they move into next year and explore other opportunities. We love hearing about their experiences each week and are proud of their efforts!
The House Carnival was an absolute hit of a day, the students challenged themselves in each event with determination and concentration! Great efforts boys!











Enjoy some photos from our fantastic day!

Mathematics: The Year 10 students have been immersing themselves in functional numeracy activities and have thoroughly enjoyed creating personalised calendars for 2024 as part of their pedagogical experience. Students are currently working on their customised calendars; each student came up with their own individual designs and made decisions on their presentations. They included dates for family milestones and celebrations to enhance its utility and versatility. Students have also been learning how to interpret and use bus timetables to plan their trips around the community, paying special attention to their departure and arrival times. They have been employing different strategies to solve addition problems and many have found the number line method enthralling. Some students have advanced their skills to solving simple algebraic expressions - substituting letters to solve for the unknown variables. Our Community Based Learning (CBL) has always been a favourite as students looked forward to the opportunities it offered them to interact with members of our community while at the same time realising their educational goals of learning to read menus, make orders and accurate payments with minimal staff support. Being outdoor was good enough but having the opportunity to eat their lunch orders in a relaxing social setting was the icing on the cake! Observing our students’ applying the money skills they have learned at school in the community is indeed a very satisfying feeling for me and other members of my instructional team.
English: This semester, a cohort of my students have been developing creative writing and public speaking skills on a wide range of topics of their interest while a few others have been learning the mechanics of constructing simple sentences. Engaging in these learning activities regularly has improved students’ confidence and public speaking skills exceedingly over the course of this semester. As part of our activities during our CBL trips, students practised the skills of borrowing and returning books at Success Library. They also learned about fiction and non-fiction books and what part of the library to locate them.
Workright: Students have been practising Resume writing and learning to search for jobs online through Indeed and Seek. They have investigated different jobs and the skills required by employers to work in those areas as an employee. Students will continue to work on these job-related skills as they progress through to Year 12 and their graduation. In preparing them for Workplace Learning, in the future, students visited the Good Sammy Warehouse this semester to see firsthand the various skills and attributes at play in a typical workplace. They saw for themselves the importance of teamwork in action as the employees of Good Sammy worked dedicatedly while sorting clothes and other items into different sizes and groups (including books, electronics and so on). Students benefited immensely from their trip to the Canning Vale Good Sammy Warehouse.
As we come to the end of a busy term, there were many exciting activities that students enjoyed being involved in and representing our school in the community. We had the annual Sports Carnival and AFL Carnival. It was great to see everyone contributing, showing teamwork and good sportsmanship by congratulating their peers on their successes.
The highlight for this term has certainly been our camp at CYC Camp. Students got to try rock climbing, giant swing, fishing, and we even went on a hunt for the giants. We were so enthralled by the opportunity to see the giants. It was great to see our students expressing themselves so positively, showing mutual respect, demonstrating their independence, and just enjoying the day.













We also had the opportunity to visit several industries and students got the opportunity to have a first-hand experience at the various sites. Besides Alinea, they also visited Bunnings and Good Sammy. At Good Sammy Enterprise, they saw the different jobs and learned about the necessary skills and attributes required at a typical workplace. They also discovered the importance of teamwork and complying with health and safety rules. Students benefited immensely from their trip to the Canning Vale Good Sammy Warehouse. They also completed a reflection sheet outlining three things they liked about Good Sammy and if they would consider working there. Students not only gained an insight into the different industries, but these visits will certainly shape their opinions and guide conversation in future My Plan meetings.

Kaya noonakort (Hi everyone),
We have had such a busy end to the term with Industry visits, a Constable Care incursion, the Year 10 CYC Camp, Notre Dame visits and the Athletics Carnival, just to name a few.








Along with the Year 10 Cohort, ESC 4 have had the opportunity to visit different work industries to gauge students interests of possible work placements and future career opportunities. In mixed groups, we have visited Good Sammy Enterprises, Alinea ParaQuad Industries and spent a day in the role of a Bunnings employee. Students enjoyed seeing their options and thinking about future work possibilities.




Sarah Lomax from the Workplace Learning team has visited the class, to showcase a power point of year 11 and 12 students engaging in a variety of workplaces. She presented the students with their Term 4 placements and work experience shirt. Next term, will see the students putting their learning and skills into action, working with a variety of supervisors, experiencing work life and gaining skills for future placements and employment.
A huge thank you to Sarah Lomax, Annette Morrison and Cara Barbato from the Workplace Learning team for all their hard work and support with organising placements and supporting the students to try new experiences and reach for their goals.
The students have been powering through their ASDAN programs and next term their work portfolios will be completed and moderated. The students should be incredibly proud of their efforts and the work they have put into completing their modules. Their work ethic and standard has been extremely high and it is reflected in their portfolios.
To compliment the students E-safety work, Constable Care performed a workshop on Staying Safe When Online. The performance was informative and entertaining and provided an opportunity for students to shine when sharing their knowledge on the subject.
The year 10 camp provided the opportunity for students to challenge themselves, show their potential and enjoy social interactions outside of school. We started with adventure challenges of Rock Climbing, the Giant Swing, and Suspension Bridge in Pinjarra. On day two, we headed to Rockingham Jetty to enjoy fishing with mentors from FishAbility, and a play in the park before searching for the Anti Ikto Giant in Halls Head Mandurah. We finished the camp with a wonderful visit to the Amaze Miniature Park, learning survival skills and a picnic lunch with Yaburgurt Winjan Cirkelstone Giant in Coodanup.



















The students are to be commended for their incredible positive engagement, independence, self-responsibility, teamwork and respect. Also, a huge thank you to the staff for their amazing work and effort to make the camp a memorable experience for all.
A special mention to Brock, Tehzeeb and Jai for their participation in every event in the Athletics Carnival and proudly achieving tokens for their house groups.
We wish to thank, students, families, and educators, of ESC4. As a United team we learn, grow, and achieve so much!
We would like to wish Miss Coles all the very best of luck for her teaching practicum, next term and look forward to her return in week five.
Enjoy the school break and we look forward to our new adventures in term4.
Boordwan, Mrs Vann, Mrs Blacklock, Ms Palma and Miss Coles
ESC5 have had a fantastic second half of term. There have been a number of events that the students have really enjoyed from Book Week to Multicultural Day to Father's Day and the sports carnival. It was fantastic to see so many of the ESC5 students give their best, participating in all the individual races and team games. Everyone had a wonderful day. Special thank you to all the parents and carers that come out to visit and cheer on our boys. They loved it.
For Book Week, ESC5 staff decided to get set that standard and get into the spirit of Book Week and dressed up as Willy Wonka and the Oompa Loompas.
The boys have become more confident in catching the bus and tagging on and off as we have continued to go to Bullcreek Shopping Centre for CBL on Thursdays.
We can’t believe that we are a quarter of the way through the year already! I’d like to thank the staff in ESC5 for all their hard work and support they have provided to the students this term.
Thank you,
Brett Limpus and Team
The second half of term 3 has flown by in ESC 6! We have been busy with many different activities including the Sports Carnival, Book Week, a Constable Care incursion, Multicultural Day, Cheering on the Matildas, CBL and an AFL carnival.




Our students did an excellent job dressing up for Book Week. We had:
Thomas: Spider Man
Jade: Sponge Bob
Ruby E: Hermione
Ruby R: Sam Kerr
Isabel: Mary Fowler
Jaylene: Wednesday
Maleyk: Fart Boy
Grace: Princess Poppy
Sarah: Liz Watson
The ESC 6 staff enjoyed setting up the room into a Barbie Dream House, and coming as Barbies and Ken! The students enjoyed the parade in the afternoon, seeing all the different costumes.






We have been enjoying our CBL lessons this term going to Bull Creek Shopping Centre. We have focused on a variety of skills including selecting clothing and shoes appropriate for the weather and in the correct size, locating different items in stores, navigating a shopping centre, completing a purchase, making an order, posting a letter, catching the bus and road safety skills. The students wrote letters to family members and posted them on their most recent CBL. They learnt about writing addresses and adding a postage stamp to an envelope. Students have also enjoyed having a snack, drink or lunch while out in the community.




We are also very lucky to have had two of our students’ assistance dogs start coming to school for the year. Hope has returned with Ruby R, and Pixie has started coming in with Jade. The dogs support Ruby and Jade, and also contribute to a positive atmosphere for the whole class. Everyone loves having a brain break to take Pixie or Hope for a walk on the oval when we have been working hard!
We hope everyone has a great holiday and comes back refreshed for the last term of year 8! Thank you as always to the whole ESC 6 team!!
Miss Blackburn, Mrs Bregger, Miss V, Mr S
What a huge term we have had in ESC 7! Our students have enjoyed fortnightly outings to Leeming Forum for CBL and demonstrated safe road crossing skills and outstanding community behaviours. We had multiple comments from local shoppers at IGA, saying how polite and well-mannered many of our students were. In the classroom we have had lots of fun learning about planets and the solar system in science, reading bus timetables in maths and reading the BFG in literacy!
On Friday of week 8, the class had an athletics carnival, and we were lucky to have some warmth and sunshine for the day! Everyone showed their USTAR values and good sportsmanship by cheering each other on and helping out peers to reach the finish line. It was a great day that all finished off with a well-deserved hot dog or hamburger!
It is hard to believe term 3 holidays are here! I wish you all a relaxing break, and hopefully we will be blessed with some sunshine! Thank you to Mrs Buchanan, Mrs Maunder, Mrs Wood-Smith and Miss Hillas, for all of your hard work and support as always throughout the term. The effort and extra hours you put into supporting the students does not go unnoticed.
See you all next term!
Sophie Bartlett
Throughout the end of term 3, the students of ESC8 have been busy in class and during options. Week 8 we had our school sport carnival, students trained hard to compete in various running races, throwing and relay events. What a day we had out on the oval, we reached so many individual goals and displayed incredible teamwork. Well done to all students in GRADY faction; this year’s winners!













During maths students have been learning about place value, with a focus on 3-digit numbers to enhance their ability to calculate and manage money. Students have been making great progress in this area and we will continue with this concept into term 4.
During literacy, we have been reading the fictional novel ‘How to Train your Dragon.’ Our reading skills have certainly shone as there has been some tricky vocabulary within this text that has challenged us. Students have enjoyed watching movie clips, alongside reading the text and have made some great comparisons and contrasts between the text and movie. Great work guys!
Through the Bush Ranger program students have been learning about water conservation and have engaged in many ways to conserve water within our school. Students have monitored rainfall, through water collection and measurement skills and have implemented ways in which we could better use the collected rainwater e.g. watering our garden. Students have also designed very artistic and empowering posters that we have displayed in various areas of the school where large amounts of water are wasted. We are currently working on developing our own rainwater harvesting model. During a Bush Ranger incursion this term, we also got up close and personal with a variety of reptiles from WA Reptile Park. Students learned about the habitat of each reptile, their diet and where in Australia they live. Some of us were also brave enough to hold some of the reptiles!
In class we have also begun discussing our year 7 camp, ready for next term. We will be engaging in various activities during camp, including crate climbing, kayaking and water balance. We will also implement a water conservation project that has been our focus this semester.
We wish everyone a happy and safe school holidays and we are looking forward to continuing our learning together in term 4.
Mrs Brennan and the ESC8 team
Term 3 has come to an end, and what another fabulous term it was! In week 7, ESC9 put our chef hats on and made Father’s Day rocky road for the dads and father figures in our lives. It was delicious, and we hope all the ESC9 dads and father figures enjoyed their ‘secret stache’.




In week 8, we participated in the Leeming SHS Athletics Carnival. It was such a fantastic day, and I was so proud to see all of ESC9 try their absolute best during the team games and running races.






I’d like to say a massive thank you to Mr El Chami who joined us this term. Mr El Chami has been an awesome addition to our ESC9 community, and we appreciate all of his support this term. We are excited to welcome Miss Chatfield back to class in term 4 and hear all about her amazing Europe adventures!
We are looking forward to a busy, but exciting, term 4 and will soon be preparing for the ESSN Athletics Carnival at Atwell College. Stay tuned.
Miss Gage
Another term done and dusted! What a busy few weeks we have had! We have had lots of fun activities in ESC 10 this term.
During Music lessons with Mrs Damos, we have been playing various percussion instruments and learning about the orchestra and the different families each instrument belongs to.




During Science we have been learning about our Solar System and researching each of the planets. We have enjoyed getting our hands messy, making our own paper mache planets.
We had a fabulous time at our annual Sport Carnival. It was a beautiful sunny day and it was great to see such amazing teamwork and participating from everyone in ESC 10. We were very happy to see so many staff and students with our faction carnival themed Pop Up Shop items.






Have a wonderful holidays and we look forward to seeing everyone back for our final term in Year 7.
ESC 10 Staff - Jack, Kristy, Sarah and Karlene
Everyone in ESC11 has had a fantastic term 3 where we have worked hard together and enjoyed the benefits of working in such a tightly knit team.
One of the highlights of our term was the athletics carnival where the boys loved engaging in various games and events to exercise their competitive nature. Everyone was amazing on the day, and I was very proud of the efforts they all put in to win points for their house groups. Another highlight of our term was visiting Optus Stadium and participating in a guided tour. It was amazing to see the changerooms, coaches’ boxes and media rooms as well as witness the immense size of the stadium.
I have been very proud of all nine boys this term and I can’t wait to see how everyone in ESC11 will shine for the rest of the year!!
Mr Calasse and Team ESC11
What a terrific term this class has had with so many exciting things happening. I think that the Notre Dame program has stirred up great enthusiasm within the student body on a weekly basis, and individual achievements were put on display in numerous and varied ways at the sports carnival. They were spurred on by their “buddies” from the Notre Dame. Great things were achieved on that day, well done to everyone! James and Mikaela are featuring in our photos because of their individual efforts and achievements on the day. Difficult to pick just two when I was seeing so many inspirational things happening.
All students have worked extremely well during Maths sessions. We have some talented mathematicians, the work completed and the new concepts learned were quite simply amazing. Super work everyone!
As the term progressed, students were showing pride in their own individual growth and the positive choices being made were definitely impacting every aspect of school. Things such as the reptile incursion, studying about endangered species, lessons on bullying and cyber bullying in particular, and using the laptops to learn about email communication are just a few of the many concepts that have formed the teaching program.
The arrival of Spring brings a new energy to the classroom. Well done to everyone on your fine efforts all term. Special recognition to the dedicated staff working brilliantly to achieve the best outcomes for students. Have a happy and safe term break holiday and may the good times continue right through to the end of the year and beyond!
Johanna Lee for Mrs Khosla
A highlight of the term for students and staff in ESC 13 has been the CBL excursion to Super Bowl in Week 8. Even though this was an ‘Educational’ excursion and part of the ASDAN curriculum, we all agreed it was great fun and something we would like to do again. Students surprised each other and themselves with their bowling skills. All the students were great team players and exhibited a lot of skill. A standout player was Toby V, who bowled the ball like a pro, complete with a left leg flourish behind after bowling a ball. It was obvious he had been bowling before and all the students (and staff) got some top tips on their delivery from Toby.
Toby – “I really enjoyed the CBL to bowling. It was the best excursion we have been on so far this year”
Isaiah – “Wahoo- it was fun”
Ethan – “It was pretty good. I was the official scorer”
Nick – “It was pretty good fun”
Luke – “I didn’t think I would like it, but it was good fun”
Joaquin – “I liked the chips and nuggets”
Ryan – “I liked bowling but it was hard”
On the 4th September, the Year 12's went along to Kings Park to take part in the Child vs Wild Activity. Students were invited into a gated reserve and had the opportunity to make damper cooked in a fire pit, made temporary survival shelters, added branches to the bush humpy's that are in the process of being completed, and finished off with some basic first aid in case of an emergency. Students and staff really enjoyed this experience, we had gorgeous weather and enjoyed the beautiful bush scenery.






Sam - I like how we got to make hootchies and damper
Zach - At the excursion I enjoyed making damper the most
Jake - I think it was awesome,best trip ever
Hanna - We tried different knots which were tricky
Aidan - I liked seeing the kookaburrea
Nekoda - I liked making the damper, I tried it, it was okay
Skye - Making the damper, it was easy to mix and yummy to eat
Nathan - Making the shelters with Sam and getting to try the damper
Karleigh – my favourite thing was making the damper. It was so easy, and we cooked it on the fire. It was very tasty
ESC 15 has been busy completing their ASDAN Money Introduction module. This involved a visit to Leeming Forum to purchase ingredients for pizza and a trip to Cockburn Ice Arena.
The students voted on their favourite pizza toppings and all students visited the cashier to purchase items. We concluded the task with a classroom cooking lesson and shared lunch.
We visited Cockburn Ice arena last Friday and what a fantastic day it was! Despite ice skating being a daunting experience for some students, everyone gave it a really good go and everyone had fun!! This was certainly a highlight of the term. The students didn’t want to leave at the end of the session and hope to return soon.
Thank you ESC 15 for your positive attitude towards school. Enjoy the break and see you next term.
End of term already! So many preparations happening to farewell our leavers and we are looking forward to a beautiful night at graduation, which will be here before we know it. We have also loved receiving the baby photos of our year 12s to showcase in our graduation montage….they were all such adorable little ones!
The last half of this term has been finalising ASDAN, P Units, resumes and graduation portfolios. Workplace Learning continues to be successful for everyone and we have been testing student’s CBL skills before they fly our coop. We rounded the term out with an excursion to King’s Park and the student’s final sports carnival, where they all had an amazing day. Huge shout out to Miss Heard, Mr Holdsworth and Ms Pereira for organising such a fantastic event!!






In addition to our usual class timetable, term four will see us having some fun taking a trip to the Perth Museum and having a fun filled day at Rottnest Island, so plenty to look forward to!
ESC 16
ESC 17 - STEFFI VARGHESE & MONISHA SUNIL
We can’t believe that it is the end of Term 3 already! Staff and students in ESC 17 have been busy learning and creating memories.
The students have been participating in the Notre Dame program and it’s great to see how well they are performing with their buddies in Fremantle. I am so proud of the way they have been actively involved in completing activities and showing USTAR values when they are at Notre Dame University in Fremantle.
Our CBL to Southlands Shopping Centre has been progressing well. The students enjoy visiting different stores, finding products, and assessing the prices. The students also enjoyed participating in the Multicultural day events and tasting food from different parts of the world.










In Bush Rangers, we have been learning about ‘Endangered Species’ and ways in which we can help protect native flora and fauna. The students
We are so grateful for the wonderful team we have in ESC 17. Michelle, Edith, Candace and Dharona have been a huge support to keep our class running as smoothly as possible.
I look forward to Term 4 as we wind down and prepare for the end of the year. Happy holidays!

Wildcats All Abilities Carnival
On August 17th, our House Captains were given the opportunity to represent our school in the inaugural All Abilities Basketball Carnival, run by the Perth Wildcats. Students participated in 4 games throughout the day, winning 3 of them. During the games, students were commended on their sportsmanship and support towards other students from different schools. Mr Holdsworth and Miss Heard were extremely proud and impressed with the efforts from our Leeming students.
Jackson Shepherd was awarded MVP and Oliver Cuffe-Cain was selected to play in the ‘All Stars’ game, at the end of the day, versing Perth Wildcat players! Our students had a ball meeting the professional players, getting signatures and photos! Well done to everyone involved- we can’t wait for next year.
Team: Oliver Cuffe-Cain, Chris Greenham, Jaylene Michaels, Liam Felstead-Welch, Isaac Wee, Nick Fleming, Fatima Salman & Jackson Shepherd.
AFL Carnival
On Wednesday 6th September, selected students travelled to Kalamunda to compete in the Kalability Kickability AFL Carnival. Our Leeming team played 3 games, against other Education Support Schools and we are very proud of our students. They displayed sportsmanship, enthusiasm and respect throughout the whole day. It was fantastic to see our students showing off their footy skills and developing their game-play knowledge, as the day went on. Thank you to Ms Pereira, Mrs Buchannan, Mr Holdsworth and Miss Heard for organising and supervising the carnival! It was a brilliant day.
Congratulations to the students selected, to represent our Leeming AFL team:
Sam Nguyen, Kobe Foster, Tommy Francis, Izzy Chia, Eva Molloy, Alicia Tanoyo, Jaylene Michaels, Kelly Palmer, Connor Crofts, Isla Ghazal, Angus Bell, Riley Green.
Athletics Carnival
On Friday September 8th, Leeming ESC and Leeming SHS hosted our annual House Athletics Carnival. We were lucky to have some amazing weather for the day! Students competed in various events throughout the day, including sprint races, relays, hurdles, javelin, shotput & team games. The staff verse students relay was a clear highlight! Not sure who was more competitive out of the adults and students!!
The PE Department would like to thank the Notre Dame students, who volunteered their time to assist on the day. Our students loved having their Notre Dame buddies there! We would also like to thank our amazing ESC staff, who got to work early to help set up and displayed ample energy during the day. Also, thank you to families, parents & carers who attended, to watch their children, it was lovely seeing so many smiling faces!
Congratulations to Grady, who won the 2023 ESC House Athletics Carnival!
After an extremely busy term, the PE Department are ready for school holidays and excited to come back refreshed and energised for a big term 4!!
Enjoy the break!

It has been a very busy term in workplace learning. Students have been consistently impressing their supervisors and contributing well within their workplace teams. An awesome achievement for every single senior student!
Ayrton Squadrito was awarded the Employee of the Month at the week 10 assembly. He should be so proud of his achievement transitioning into an employment role with Good Sammy in the warehouse this term. He is to be commended on always trying to the very best of his ability. Congratulations Ayrton!!
A special mention to Ethan Hebb for a successful term at Bunnings! He has been doing a great job training with the point of sales systems and has proved to be a very productive worker. Keep up the fantastic work Ethan!
Hanna Stapel has been very busy in the retail store at Alinea. Recently she practised an emergency evacuation. Hanna listened to her supervisor and followed instructions. Way to go Hanna!




Year 11 student Sebastian Devlin has been busy behind the scenes at school developing his work skills by completing various tasks in the library and working as part of a team to create lovely thank you gifts ready for our host employer’s next term. Thank you to Seb, he has done an amazing job!








As part of Ezra’s transition post school, he went for a site visit and tour at Proudly Productive in week 9. He showed great interest engaging in the programs that were running at the time. He joined the crew to make fruit kebabs and made himself comfortable, drawing and sharing with other participants. From the words of Ezra “It was terrific”!!






We look forward to the year 10 students joining next term.
We recommence the work experience in week 1 of term 4.
Have a fun and fabulous school holiday break!
