The Bugle is pleased to present a fortnightly feature with Kiama High School, bringing you the latest news and events from the school.

Deadly graduates

Kiama High School principal Catherine Glover and Year 12 advisor Alex McNeil recently attended the Deadly Graduation Ceremony, hosted by Dapto High School to support the achievements of local Indigenous students.

It was a beautiful ceremony, rich with cultural celebrations, dance, music and bush tucker.

Congratulations to our Kiama's Deadly Graduates: Hilton Brown, Trelise Cooper, Savanah Detheridge, Maximus Holz, Bowie Longbottom and Lachlan Taylor.

RU OK Day?

Kiama High School came together recently to recognise R U OK Day, a national initiative that reminds everyone that a simple conversation can change a life.

This year’s theme, “Ask R U OK? Any Day”, highlighted the importance of checking in with our mates not just on R U OK Day, but every day.

Although wet weather meant the school had to adjust its "Walk and Talk" plans, the spirit of the day remained strong.

Students attended their usual classes where teachers shared a RUOK Day message and video, and facilitated a range of activities to promote connection and care among peers.

During Period 4, every student received a lollipop, which became the starting point for meaningful classroom conversations about how to support one another.

Headspace Kiama staff members visited classrooms and set up activities at recess to encourage students to check in with their mates and to provide information about local supports.

Jindabyne jaunt

A total of 52 students from Year 7-11 and five teachers enjoyed an unforgettable experience on the snow.

Accommodation was at the Alpine Village in Jindabyne, where students were well looked after with comfortable rooms and hearty three-course meals.

Each day, they had a lesson to learn the fundamental skills of skiing or snowboarding or further develop their skills with two hours of expert instruction from professional instructors.

The weather delivered perfect bluebird conditions and a full day of snowfall, giving students the chance to experience the very best of the mountain.

All students showed remarkable improvement, resilience and mateship on the slopes.

Plans are already underway for the 2026 trip.
