VCAL Studio Art
Semester 1 saw the VCAL Studio Art students being very industrious in producing drawings using a Cubist flair. Students were required to draw a number of kitchen utensils from observation, select their best couple of drawings, photocopy these and then cut them up. The students then had to select sections and create a range of compositions and experiment with different mediums.

Lino Printing
The next task that the VCAL Studio Arts students pursued was Lino Printing. Students had to design an interior, starting with research first and then incorporate some of their own ideas in their design. The students were then required to experiment with overlapping of colours along with taking sections away from the lino plate. Here are just some of the students final prints.

3D Art
The VCAL class are now currently producing a 3D model. The Year 11’s are working in clay and have been looking at medieval structures while the Year 12’s have been studying the figure, using a range of moulds to create their model. The works are in progress and here are some of the students in the process of making their artworks.

Year 11 VCAL Semester 1 Report 2019
Currently, we are working on a Bullying Prevention Task.
Our teacher asked us to form groups and each group was required to come up with some ideas to raise awareness of bullying and how we can go about preventing it.
Our class has a variety of tasks that will be completed across the school over the next 10 weeks.
- Year 7’s – Pastoral lesson
- Year 8’s – Survey
- Year 10’s – Pastoral Lesson about the long term effects of bullying
- Years 7-12 – Casual Dress Day “Wear Blue”
We are most excited around this task as we believe that when the activities are coming from students, the information will be taken on board and the more that we can become aware of treating everyone with respect then the happier our school community will be.
Lets be Bully Free:
Treat Everyone with Respect
Nobody should be mean to others.
- Stop and think before you say or do something that could hurt someone.
- If you feel like being mean to someone, find something else to do. Play a game, watch TV, or talk to a friend.
- Talk to an adult you trust. They can help you find ways to be nicer to others.
- Keep in mind that everyone is different. Not better or worse, just different.
- If you think you have bullied someone in the past, apologize. Everyone feels better.
What to Do If You’re Bullied
There are things you can do if you are being bullied:
- Look at the kid bullying you and tell him or her to stop in a calm, clear voice. You can also try to laugh it off. This works best if joking is easy for you. It could catch the kid bullying you off guard.
- If speaking up seems too hard or not safe, walk away and stay away. Don’t fight back. Find an adult to stop the bullying on the spot.
There are things you can do to stay safe in the future, too.
- Talk to an adult you trust. Don’t keep your feelings inside. Telling someone can help you feel less alone. They can help you make a plan to stop the bullying.
- Stay away from places where bullying happens.
- Stay near adults and other kids. Most bullying happens when adults aren’t around.
Remember to be kind to everyone
- Smile at a stranger
- Speak respectfully
- Use your manners
- Be mindful because everyone is going through something you don’t know about
- Be nice to your family & friends
- Have respect for your school teachers
- Hug your friends
- Give compliments
- Help at home, do your chores without being asked
- Give your time to people when they need it
- Say “I love you” more often to your family
- Make a donation if you can
