Hospital School SA
Children with acute and chronic health and mental health needs within the Women's and Children's, Fl
Today Hospital School SA was full of a right bunch of animals! At the Women's and Children's Campus it was GET WILD, at the Lyell McEwin Campus it was JUNGLE ALIVE and at the Flinders Campus it was WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE.
That's wonderful, looks like a day of fun 🐼🐲🦋🦈
Frogs and cells you say?!? Well our Flinders Campus was the place to be to find out all things frogs and cells today. Some of the Middle Schoolers at Hospital School SA worked with Bec and Karen on this topic and came up with some very interesting findings. 🐸 🔬🧬
Looks like great fun! ❤️
At our Lyell McEwin Campus the Hospital School SA team in collaboration with our Lyell McEwin Hospital / SA Health colleagues have initiated some special programs within the Early Years Strategy.
Our new Early Learning Packs have been introduced to young people on the ward as a part of early identification for preschool and kindy. Our dedicated Early Childhood Worker Lauren introduces young people approaching school age to a learning pack themed around a story book.
The pack includes activities that look at creative play, literacy, numeracy and other subject areas. Lauren guides the young people and their parents/carers through the first activity and shows the child and the parents/carers how they can complete the remaining activities together at home. This shows families how parents/carers are their child's first teacher. Children get to take the pack home including their own copy of the chosen story book.
Lauren also provides families with information and contacts for enrollment at kindy and preschool as well as other learning support contacts and information.
Well done Lauren.
Great article. Well done Lauren xx
Love your work Lauren! 💕
Amir who is one of our Primary students at our Lyell McEwin Campus worked with Millie on family history. Amir made the Turkish flag where his mother is from and the flag of Afghanistan where his father is from. Amir said he loved working with Millie as she's always up for a project when Art is involved!
Hamza's father Ahmad wrote -
"Thank you Hospital School SA
Amir was missing his friends at his new school but when he find out that the hospital had a school he got really excited to attend. We got to meet teacher Millie who helped Amir with his school work while I could attend an appointment for my other kids.
I appreciate this kind gesture that there was a school in the hospital for kids who are missing their school.
Thanks and regards
Ahmad"

It was great to have Damien and his Fine Concepts team back in at our HSSA WCH Campus today.
They put in some very funky joinery and took away the last 3 bits of ‘old HSSA’.
That looks fantastic 🤩
Love it!❤️

On Wednesday Eleni took some of our long-term oncology students visited the South Australian Maritime Museum. Students explored parts of Australia’s rich history including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories before and after British colonisation, the development of Port Adelaide, migratory experiences and evolution of sea travel.
Students participated in a hands-on Ketch Talk, they climbed aboard an old vessel and were instructed to find and identify the purpose of specific parts of a ship. We enjoyed our lunch outside the Port Adelaide Lighthouse, admiring the unique and vibrant artworks on display!
The day was complete with a relaxing river cruise on the Archie, which was previously used as an old police boat! Students learnt and viewed historical elements of the Port River, keeping a look out for dolphins along the way. Although no dolphins were spotted, the sunshine made an appearance and students loved the feeling of fresh air throughout the voyage.
A HUGE thank you to the Port Adelaide Maritime Museum and JC Mini Buses for their generous support of HSSA and our students and Steph for being our parent helper.
