Olympic values of respect, excellence and friendship. They then look for expressions of these in the contests and ceremonies that constitute the Games. Those who choose to adopt this latter perspective tend to also understand that this event transcends sport and seeks to provide benefits that extend well beyond the medal count.
“We seek to develop attributes in our young men such as leadership, discipline and teamwork through their participation in sport.”
One of Australia’s great Olympians, middle distance runner Herb Elliott, expressed this broader context when he said:

Integrated Science the natural way Year 12 Integrated Science students participated in a masterclass in traditional methods of producing cosmetics at Clean Slate Skin Care in the Perth CBD. Kat, the creator of Clean Slate, shared her insight into the world of manufacturing natural cosmetics using vegan and cruelty-free certified ingredients, and how to market and manage a small business. Kat taught the boys how to make her newest, and yet to be released product, a lotion that she spent six months researching and perfecting. The students followed Kat’s secret recipe and were lucky enough to take home the lotion that they made. Mrs Petrina Brewer Integrated Science Teacher Page 8 | CBC Fremantle Newsletter | Week 3 Term 3
