MATES Of Clarkson Get Rewarded
A large part of the ethos at Clarkson Community High School is Invitational Education (William Purkey). The five P's of Invitational Education stand for people, places, policies, programs and processes and these provide the means to address the global nature of the school in terms of inviting students to learn and creating a safe learning environment.
The MATE program (Make A Total Effort) is an initiative that fits perfectly in our invitational ethos. It rewards high achievement by setting goals towards grade point average and good standing (behaviour).

Clarkson Champions Again!
On Monday 15th April, Clarkson Community High School’s Year 9 Specialist League Rugby Squad competed in the Champion Schools’ Carnival at Charles Riley Reserve, North Beach.
The CCHS team displayed outstanding rugby league and personal skills throughout the day. The sense of commitment and responsibility shown by the boys in the way they approached the contest, treated the officials and their opponents and maintained their team area was fantastic to see. Our boys were a credit to themselves, their families and our school being first to assist in the clean up and pack up after the competition and being faultless in the courtesy and respect displayed all day.

Dear parents and students. Please be advised we are running after-school homework/support classes on Mondays and Tuesdays from 3.15 to 4.00pm in the Science Seminar room. All students who would like support with their studies are invited to attend.
True Grit
On Thursday 21st March a small band of Year 8 students took the field at Curtin University to play their first ever rugby league game for the school. Despite never having played as a team, and in some cases never having played the game before, they won!
