They will commence a new unit of study which explores how we are connected to the world.

 

Year 9

Mr George Evatt, an underwater Cinematographer, visited Year 9 Geography students recently to speak about ocean biomes. He spoke about the ocean and how important it is that we look after it. This will coincide with their new unit of study.

As part of the Consumer Choice unit, Years 9 and 10 Commerce students have been investigating the elements that affect consumer decisions and how these contribute to changes in the behaviour and practices of businesses. Over the weeks each class has had the opportunity to undertake a guided tour of the Wagga Wagga Marketplace by the Centre Manager, Ms Maria Sharman. During the visit Ms Sharman spoke to students about the operation of the Shopping Centre as a business in its own right and how various factors impact on the retailers within the complex and therefore on the Centre as a whole.
