The Beacon Ambassadors have been meeting weekly, even during our period of online learning and also since returning to school in Week 7 of Term 2.  During this time we have been able to reconnect as a team in readiness for a big second half of the year. We have a lot of exciting events and programs planned for the second half of the year.  Our first big job this term was to write speeches to present to Grade 9 and 8 students. As the process of applying for 2021 leadership positions starts this term it was important that they hear from us in regard to what being a Beacon Ambassador is all about.

We have also been working with Ebony Bridle from the Beacon Foundation on providing opportunities for students on the upcoming My Education days this term. These include completing the My Road mentor sessions for Grade 10 and the High Impact Polish Program for Grade 9's. 

Our biggest job has been organising our flagship event ‘Careers on Wheels’. To launch the Careers on Wheels event we will be holding a breakfast event later this term, catered by Mr Pedersen and the catering team. At this event we will inform organisations and people from the community about what the Beacon Foundation is and how our 2020 Careers on Wheels event will run.  We have sent over 30 emails this week to get the ball rolling with our invited guests for the breakfast launch.

Moving forward past the challenges we have faced this year, we will be resilient and work together to make this year a good one. We look forward to what this year will bring us.
