Year 9 News

Bec Cope & Matt Nield | Year 9 Coordinators

As we near the end of term, we encourage all our Year 9 students to continue positively participating in their classes and upholding the school values! 

 

Class Spotlight: Terrific Textiles

This week we are sharing what students in Year 9 Terrific Textiles have learnt so far this term!

 

"We made makeup bags and we learnt how to use the sewing machine and embroidering things. At first it was a challenge but we overcame that obstacle and are happy with the outcome.’ - Ella and Indalie

 

‘In textiles we have made a pair of pyjama pants. Also learning how to use the overlocker in the process was an interesting experience.’ - Ruby
