Youth Week will be running nationwide from the 10th-16th of April.  It is a time to celebrate our youth, and give them a voice. There will be heaps of cool activities to do, so why not get involved and have a great time! Students were given the opportunity to have their say about how we could improve their school and what they like about their school - click on the links to view their responses: Improving their school What I like about my school Western Cape College also held a disco on Friday night for the high school students, at the Assembley Hall, this allowed the students to get down and boggey their with your mates and have some fun! There was only the very best music! On Tuesday, WCC Weipa Campus hosted the annual GOLDEN CIRCLE CROSS COUNTRY FUN RUN. There was a great turn up from students on the day, with all the WCC campuses attending (Weipa, Napranum, Mapoon, Aurukun), as well as Lockhart River, who made a big effort to come all the way for the event. After the run, secondary students enjoyed some fun activities, including; ball games, tug-o'-war, sack races, dodgeball, egg-and-spoon races, 3-legged-races and a waterslide to finish it all off! At lunchtime, students enjoyed watching some of their talented peers putting on a great show with their dancing talents. It was a great event, and thank-you to all who put in an effort to make it an awesome day! By Carl Jackson
