It is our belief that the key values of the BETTA Program reflect the characteristics of honourable men in society and that boys need to be taught the responsibilities and expectations of what it means to be a man in today's world.
To foster these concepts, the program consists of physical activity and community involvement as a medium to deliver these lessons as well as a fortnightly mentor program.
BETTA is about working hard, physically and mentally, and acting as positive role models for our school. Effort, approach and attitude lead to success in life.
Physical Activity: Once a fortnight the boys are given an opportunity to complete physical activity in the school gym. Students are also required to complete a community service component which will include supporting/volunteering at local events, engaging with the community while representing the school.
Education: We want our boys to be people of character. We want all our students, whatever their age or stage of learning, to be great ambassadors for their school and for their community. We want the parents/carers and staff to know that they can rely on the boys to live up to high standards of behaviour, maturity and integrity. We want our boys to develop into men of character, and we are prepared to do everything we can to help them become great role-models and leaders.
Vision: Our boys are better for having been part of "#teamNorthlakes". Our objective is to create individuals who are: • Balanced in life • Proud of Northlakes High School • Dedicated to personal development and life-long learning • Self aware and self confident • Good team members • Respectful
Key Objectives:
Leadership Development: To develop strong leaders who demonstrate a sense of ownership of and the ability to reinforce the philosophy of NHS, both in their school and the community.
Educational Engagement: Increase the engagement and completion rates of secondary education and Vocational Education & Training (VET) programs.
Resilience: To equip students with the skills and knowledge to manage their schooling through their lifespan.
Social Responsibility: To deliver and reinforce consistent age and stage specific social responsibility messages at every level.
No Work, No Study, No Play: To transform the culture of boys in relation to education, employment and positive out-of school engagements that will in turn enhance the brand of Northlakes High School.
Career Transition & Exit Strategies: To ensure every student has identified a preferred future career direction and is actively engaged in education, work experience and networking, strategic to embarking on their chosen career path when transitioning from Northlakes High School.
BETTA is supported by a community partnership with Gorokan-Kanwal Lions Club.
