Wurrin News - Year 8

Students at work

In a Year 8 finance lesson about profits and economics, students needed to create a business and make money. Two of the students, Max and Ashton, worked to produce a 'scam business' using a fake government tax document and managed to convince their peers that it was valid!

Science

Students have been very hands on in science recently, creating a model of an animal cell by cutting and pasting and also performing the task of fish head dissections to look at their respiratory system.

Reconciliation

On Tuesday 21st May some of the Year 8 students visited The Keeping Place with Mr. Roberts and Megan from the hub. The students met with Rob Hudson who provided great knowledge and shared some impactful personal stories with the students.

Students have also started working on the canvas that will be placed on display in the Year 8 Hub reconciliation space.

Hub Activities

Students have been tackling the Year 8 Tetris Challenge, with Tyler being the first to solve it!
