SECONDARY SUMMARY
1. The first part of the 2020 digIT program was successfully completed in January at The University Queensland with 59 students from across QLD, NT and Northern NSW coming together between 20–24 January 2019. While at camp, students participated in practical tutorials that broadened their skills in coding, web-design, gaming and robotics. They also participated in seminars on algorithmic and computational thinking, went on site visits to the CSIRO’s Queensland Centre for Advanced Technologies, The Queensland University of Technology and the UQ Innovate Maker Space as well as participating in Maths in Motion workshop hosted by Texas Instruments. Moving forward students have been paired with an ICT mentor and they will work together over the coming months. The mentors will support students with their ICT learning and help encourage the students to complete a project. I hope you have some time to ask your students more about their digIT experience and their plans for a project, which might help inspire and motivate them further. We look forward to welcoming the students back to the University of Queensland on 6–9 July where we get to wrap up the program and see how they have explored/grown their new ICT skills.

2. All year 10 students need to have Work Experience forms completed by Friday 29 February. Students will need to
ring respective Employers and ask questions regarding the week of placement (30 March to 03 April). Thank you! 3. Students need to have the necessary consent to go over to town before school starts (if travelling on a bus). The office must sight a note from the caregiver; student is to sign out before leaving school grounds and sign back in. School is obliged to ring the police if the student leaves school grounds without permission. It is always about the safety of the students! 4. Let the school know of the great achievements your child / children have achieved and we will share it in the newsletter. 5. Any concerns please ring the school to discuss the issue.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Kids Helpline has received funding from the Northern Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN) to deliver free mental health based educational sessions to Year 7 - 12 students in North QLD. All of the sessions are evidence-informed, curriculum-aligned and delivered by professional Kids Helpline counsellors. The program aims to increase students’ knowledge about a range of mental health and wellbeing topics in order to improve their mental health literacy, coping and resilience skills and promote help-seeking behaviours.
Kids Helpline is Australia’s only free, private and confidential 24/7 phone and online counselling service specifically for children and young people aged 5 to 25 years. FREE call 1800 55 1800 or www.kidshelpline.com.au
