Adobe Workshop
The first week of Term 4 saw the library transform into a bustling creative hub, as we hosted the two-day Adobe Film Workshop. All Year 9 students studying Geography attended one of the two workshops that were delivered throughout the week; Monday and Tuesday (Workshop 1) or Thursday and Friday (Workshop 2) and were tasked with filming evidence of how BHHS celebrates diversity and inclusion.
On Day 1 students worked in teams and practised their teamwork and camera work skills before using the footage on Day 2 to independently create a 1-minute film that showcased their findings.
The focus on this workshop enabled students to practise their collaboration and planning skills as well as their creative decisions in filming and editing, in preparation for the inquiry-based learning task that they will be working on during their upcoming City Experience Camp. We wish them all the best of luck with this project.
Halloween Celebrations
Our Halloween Hunt always brings in hordes of students who spend the week leading up to Halloween hunting down our hidden DVD cases.
These repurposed props are decorated and filled with spiders and other creepy crawlies and hidden in the bookshelves. Students who locate them are rewarded with a sweet treat.
Library Loyalty Card Winners
This terms incredible readers who have won the Library Loyalty Card draw are Andrew Z from Year 7, Vidya A from Year 8, Jonty G from Year 7 and Isaiah C from Year 7.
Thank you for being such wonderful library borrowers! Each student has won a book of their choice to take home.
Christmas Charity Appeal
The library team are teaming up with the Year 11 Vocational Major class for the annual Christmas Charity Appeal.
This year we will be supporting two charities:
FareShare who provide nutritious meals for people in need. This year there is high demand for tinned tomatoes, penne pasta and rice so if this is something that you can donate, we would be very grateful.
We are also supporting the wonderful charityBackpacks4 Vic Kids. This charity helps children in crisis who have been displaced from their homes.
We cannot thank our wonderful Box Hill High School community enough for the support that we have seen over the years. The impact of your generous donations is greater than you can imagine.
Again, to promote this, each student who donates something under the tree will earn house points and the winning homegroup from each year level will be awarded with Zooper Doopers.
