Well what a year for all of us - staff, committee, volunteers and supporters involved at BYS.  Check out our annual report for a summary of all the things we've been doing this year.  

This group of Byron High students visited, and learned from, a number of local trade and business people including Monique from Seaweed Cuisine, Denise from Earth'n Sea Pizza, Dave Mullins from Splendour stages, Fiona Hunter from There's Always More Hairdressing, Phil Preston - Local Fireman, Peter Gauge - Physical Trainer, Dave Levine - Local Electrician, Cindabella Market Jewellery, and local Police Youth Liaison Officer Mark Harrison.  They also visited the BluesFest site, did a Lighthouse Tour, visited the Byron Bay Herb nursery and went to the Byron Farmers Market - a hectic three days of learning about life in trades and businesses locally!

Thanks to all the supporting businesses and tradespeople!

'The Mullumbimby Cottage groups are beginning the process of wrapping up for 2012 and endeavouring to mark that with some fun and nurturing activities. The Year 10 girls had an all day outing with Marti driving us to various locations to take photographs. We then had a long lunch with Jemma and baby Sawyer. Many thanks to Espressohead for reduced price lunch.

Year 9 boys group did a very inspiring process with Teeya Blatt as a transitioning ritual into year 10 next year. The boys looked at who their heroes were and what made them heroes, what attributes made a hero  and made Shield of Honor, which depicted the kind of young men they wanted to be. The boys were very mature, focused and came up with great personal attributes to aspire to such as compassion, courage, control of emotions, can heal, work well under pressure etc.

The Year 10 boys will have a final session with Joe Robinson and some nice food to complete their year.

Cruising the Byron Shire on Friday & Saturday nights from 8pm till 12am.
