Cultural Diversity & HarmonyWeek

Next week (19-23 March) is Cultural Diversity and Harmony Week. There are competitions each day so keep an eye out for these. For example, Period 1 Monday - we expect all students to greet their teacher with a HELLO though using a language other than English. This will be done as your teacher marks the roll. On Friday Period 3, we expect the same though this time it will be GOODBYE. This is to recognise that our college has students of various backgrounds and that we respect and appreciate this diversity. 

On Thursday 22 March - lunchtime - there will be various food stalls so you may wish to try a piece of food from another culture. You will be given a ticket Wednesday morning in Period 1, so you must use this to receive a food sample. The students have been enthusiastically preparing this event, so please support them in a mindful manner.

Year 9 Top Class Excursion

Earlier this month Year 9 dance students attended the Top Class dance solos at the Melbourne Recital Hall. The event showcases dance solos from the best VCE and VET students from the previous year. The performances were inspiring and diverse and demonstrated the scope of the senior dance curriculum.

Pi Day (3.14) 

Fabulous results for Pi day (March 14 or 3.14) where students and teachers competed to recite the value of Pi to as many decimal places as possible from memory.

The students came prepared, we had Pi to 14 places, then 25 then 32 then 72 places! The crowd was circumspect waiting to see if this could be beaten. Then from Year 9 Adeena came forward and calmly recited Pi to 75 places – our new 2018 champion.

The teachers award goes to our Ms Xanthopoulos who overcame her nerves and defeated all other contenders.

Thanks to students and staff for your support and participation.

Book sculptures

Books sculpturing workshops are being held in the library at lunchtimes until the end of term.  This new artform is sweeping the world and is both creative and therapeutic. The best creation will also win a prize.
