Year 12 Breakfast
Year 12 came together as a cohort last Friday for a breakfast held in the Food Tech rooms. They shared the informal gathering with Year 12 pastoral academic care teachers. It allowed students a chance to socialise as a group before the commencement of the HSC Trial examinations. The students are almost through the first week of the examination period. We wish them all the best for next week also.
Year 12 Textiles & Design
Year 12 Textiles & Design students with their completed HSC Major Textiles Projects at the recent O'Connor Catholic College showcase, held at the Old Teachers College. The students have worked really hard for the last 3 terms to develop some wonderful and unique textile pieces. The projects have been sent away to Sydney for marking and on their return, will be set up on display at the college. Further details to follow. Students include Lauren Czinner and her lotus inspired Textile Art project - a dream catcher, Grace Murray and her 1950's inspired 2 piece hand printed skirt and bustier, Tess Browne and her 2 piece garment in ivory, inspired by the iconic Melbourne Cup, and Georgia Cullen who used the Australian Wool Fashion Awards and the theme of over the rainbow to inspire a Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz costume. We wish the students all the best.
