Celebrations

It has been another busy fortnight in Grade 8. Students have participated in Science Week activities along with their last My Education Day for the term. During Science Week, the focus was around ‘Deep Blue’ which looked to embrace the innovative technologies, capabilities and skills needed to achieve economic, environmental and social sustainability of our oceans. It features insights and inquiries into workable solutions that generate healthy oceans, healthy economies and healthy communities. With this is mind, Grade 8 students were to construct a water turbine that could wind up the most string. We saw many great designs across Grade 8 which would be worthy of a prototype. 

Our My Education Day saw Grade 8 students continue to look at a range of activities to prepare them for the changing world of work. They explored transferable skills, career and peer pressure, how to obtain a tax file number, backwards planning and your community. Our day ended in a ‘Battle of the Classes’ challenge.  We saw collaboration, solidarity and a whole lot of Class Teacher spirit! We are extremely proud of the way our Grade 8 students conducted themselves on the day with fun had by all.
