CURRICULUM
Studentship
Our Studentship process at Holy Spirit College is designed to support students in their learning. You will receive email communication if your student enters the Studentship process.
We have four stages of support. Stage One's focus is to build organisation, and participation, and monitor the completion of classwork, homework, and Assessments. How can you help? Make time for the Assessment to be completed at home – a calendar is provided. Monitor and talk about their Google Classroom learning. Assist your student to be prepared with an exercise book, pencil case, and charged laptop.
Stage Two is for students requiring additional support in these areas. A Studentship Plan is created based on guidance. One goal and some further strategies -created by the student - are implemented in the classroom and at home.
Stage Three allows the Curriculum Leader to support the student - in their learning - for a particular subject. The Curriculum Leader partners with the Teacher and student to monitor strategies and identify what may be impacting the student’s ability to progress.

Get to Know the New HPE Staff
Meet Mr Josh Wilson!
- What inspired you to become an HPE teacher?
- I was inspired to become an HPE teacher because teaching runs in my family—both my parents and my brother are teachers. Additionally, I realised engineering wasn't for me after two years into the degree, so I made the switch.
- My favourite sport is touch football. I've been playing it for a long time and have competed at a high level, which has deepened my love for the game.
- My advice to students is to go outside and engage in activities they enjoy. When you love what you're doing, you're more likely to stick with it.
- "A man cannot remake himself without pain, for he is both the marble and the sculptor."
- I would love to meet Tiger Woods. His mindset and dedication to his sport are truly remarkable and inspiring.
Meet Mr Ken Fuller!
- What inspired you to become an HPE teacher?
- I love coaching sports and helping kids realise their dreams on the field. Becoming an HPE teacher allows me to inspire more students to stay active, keep fit, and enjoy the benefits of sports both in and out of the classroom.
- AFL is my favourite sport. I grew up playing it and love how it promotes inclusion, allowing everyone to participate regardless of their background or ability.
- Just do it! Your body, mind and soul will thank you for it.
- "If you have time to lean, you have time to clean!"
- None, I've already met the athletes I wanted to! Gary Ablett Jnr, Tim Watson, James Hird, Kevin Sheedy, and Adam Goodes.
Meet Mrs Mikaella Mallet!
- What inspired you to become an HPE teacher?
- My passion for physical activity and its benefits inspired me. I wanted to share this passion and help students develop healthy habits.
- What's your favourite sport or physical activity, and why?
- Swimming is my favourite because I'm good at it and find it both calming and invigorating. It provides a great full-body workout.
- What's one piece of advice you would give to students about staying active and healthy?
- Stay active and healthy now; it will pay off in the future with a longer, happier life.
- What is your favourite quote?
- "I am the ocean, I create the waves."
- If you could meet any athlete, past or present, who would it be and why?
- I've been lucky to meet all the swimmers I wanted to meet, and each encounter has been inspiring.
