The SSLP, together with Dulwich College, is delighted to be able to announce a weekly series of webinars for SSLP students. Every Tuesday at 4pm we will be virtually visiting an expert in their home and we invite 100 students in Year 11+ to join us via Zoom. The Thinking About… series of talks will focus on a wide range of topics including Art, Science, Languages and Humanities.
Amidst the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic we concentrate on how SSLP Schools can work together to ensure we support the learning of our pupils. We also reflect on last week’s Healthcare Lectures and enjoy the colourful promise of the final round of the SSLP Street Photography Competition.
Congratulations to Emmanuella (St Thomas Apostle College) and Sophia (St Michael’s Catholic College) who on Wednesday 4th March were successful in their applications for BASET Pioneer Awards allowing them to join Canberra Grammar School for four weeks this summer.

The SSLP Street Photography competition is hurtling towards the fifth and final theme in March. The winners of January’s Structure round have been announced as Bertie (student), Hari (staff) and Lily (junior). Entries for the fourth round Anything with Wheels must be submitted by Saturday 29th February, we are expecting composition to play a key role in the story telling.
One of our students certainly has a reason to celebrate this half term, as her design was picked by furniture designer Tom Faulkner as the winner in our Take A Seat Competition. Anne-Elizabeth from St Saviour’s & St Olave’s School now has her very own chair which Tom described as “true to her original art-deco concept” and “both practical and beautiful”.
Part 2 of our EXCLUSIVE Professional Learning Trio took place on 29th January. Those in attendance shared their experiences of using Live Marking, Self & Peer Evaluation and Conferencing. They have made contacts with other teachers and are in the process of arranging observational visits. Registration is now open for the third and final session on Wednesday 23rd March.
