District Athletics

By Hannah

On 29th August the people who made it through to District Athletics got to go to Morrison Reserve in Mt Evelyn. We were given our event name and time, and when it was called we had to go to a certain part of the track ready to start our event.

While we were waiting for our turn on the track, we had heaps of things to do, such as going to the canteen, or playing cards, or colouring. We sat on a blue tarp with our own blankets to stay warm. 

When it was our turn to go to our event, the leaders called the group numbers and then you line up ready to compete. 

We also could eat whenever we wanted throughout the day! 

Production

By Tahli

No words can describe how awesome production was. Wednesday the 4th of September. That's the day that our masterpiece came together. Everyone did their best. A few people made some mistakes, but you couldn't tell because you didn't have a script, right? But either way, production was pretty much the best night of our lives. 

Maria's Mask was the name of our production. If Maria's Mask was a book, this would be the summary and part of the blurb: A prince travelled to America from Italy, fell in love with Maria and gave her a golden mask. He told her that if she wore the golden mask to the ball then they would be married, but someone stole the mask so she never made it to the ball. Maria's Mask is the story of righting that wrong. 

Everyone did an amazing job. Our staff couldn't have asked for more from our students. 

Rotary Speech Night

By Ruby 

On Tuesday September 3rd, Sarah and I went to the local Rotary Speech competition. Every year, 2 students go to this competition. We were the finalists selected from our school. 

We read our speeches really well and we had fun. We received great feedback from the judges and our speeches were considered inspiring and humerous. 

CBL 

By Hermione and Kayleigh

In CBL (Challenge Based Learning) we are in small groups and we are planning a solution for if something happened and disaster struck earth and it was uninhabitable. - how would we maintain human life? 

The most popular idea is to build space stations. Both of our groups are doing space stations. Hermione's group is doing a regular space station with an exit pod, and Kayleigh's group is doing space station apartments with a room with trees and pipes that lead to every room through vents. It is like a hotel in space. At this stage, Hermione's group can sadly only fit her team members, like most of the groups working on space stations.

After the planning stage we will build our ideas.
