of food to enjoy. We would like to thank everyone who attended for joining us and our awesome staff who came in early to support the breakfast.

7D Precepts
7D Precepts
In English 7D they have been reading Wonder and students are finding parallels between Auggie's start at his new school and their own. 'Being kind' is a life skill we are practising. Students also found or created their own precept which are displayed on the wall of their home room W3. They are very insightful into how each student thinks and see life.
7D have also been learning about ICT essentials - getting into Compass, saving work correctly, printing etc.
Cooking has been one of their highlights and many have gone home and practiced what they learnt to cook at school that week.

understanding of the universe and our solar systems place within it. They are discussing how night and day occur as well as the seasons and various moon phases. Students also research what factors contribute to both solar and lunar eclipses.
Pastoral 7D
Lilli Stephenson, a Year 12 VCAL student in the 'Community Group' has undertaken her major project for 2021 to create a time capsule. She has engaged all Year 7 students in this project. Our Year 7 students have been asked to write a letter to their future selves about their transition from Year 6 to Year 7 to place in the time capsule. The time capsule will be kept on the school grounds and reopened in 2026 when these students will be in Year 12. They are super excited at the prospect of opening the time capsule in 2026 and reading their letters - five years down the track.

Humanities 7D
Students have spent the first term learning about History and Geography in Humanities. 7D began the year learning about Ancient Australia and created timelines of significant Indigenous events. They finished their first term with a practical mapping task. Students applied their Geography skills to this task, creating an overlay map of the United States of America. Students created a base map with American cities and made an overlay layer, using baking paper, that displayed American mountain ranges and oceans. Students then looked for patterns on the map, and discussed the location of the cities in relation to the mountains and oceans. Next term we will finish Geography and move on to studying Ancient Egypt!

Celebrating the Arts in Year 7
Students across all Year 7 classes have had a wonderful time exploring Visual Art or The Performing Arts this term. Our Year 7 students have been busy experimenting with a wide variety of Visual and Performing Arts forms. Some Arts experiences have included: Ukulele, Keyboard, Percussion Instruments, Mime, Melodrama, Improvisation, Drawing and Sculpting with clay. Our Year 7’s are turning out to be an incredibly creative bunch and we can’t wait to see what they create in Term 2.
