This year I will...

At our recent year 8 Assembly, Lucy Vogel MS V-Captain and Tallara Drew-Hazou College Co-Captain spoke about the theme for 2016 of "This year I will...". Each Year 8 well-being class was asked to complete the sentence and place it on a coloured sheet.  Angela Eldred and Caylin Cannon then placed these onto the year 8 noticeboard.  Many students stopped to find theirs and read other's cards. This has generated a lot of interest and positive future focused thinking.  Thank you to the Student Executive teams for promoting such and engaging idea.

I have also shared a quote here as it is an interesting one that we have pondered in our well-being class.

Melbourne Girls College Visual Arts partnership with the City of Yarra

Melbourne Girls' College are in the process of setting up an exciting Visual Arts partnership with the City of Yarra. As part of this exciting partnership Ms Turnbull's year 9 Visual Art class will be collaborating up with  Artist, George Manioudakis to create a Public Artwork to be located in Richmond.

To begin this project students visited and met George at his Studio, at Blender Studios in the city. George talked to the students about his own art practice and showed the students examples of his and other stencil artworks around the vicinity of his Studio.

Melbourne Girls College would like to thank Angela Barnett, the Youth Development Officer at the City of Yarra for facilitating this partnership.
