Book Recommendation
Jacinta recommended Rise of the Mythix – Golden Unicorn, by Anh Do. She describes it as science fiction, adventure and fantasy. It is set in a city in America. The characters are Kelly, Hannah and the Soul Collector. Kelly tries to be average, but her powers make this difficult, especially when her mother is taken by the Soul Collector. Can she be the one in the prophecy? Is she...the Golden Unicorn? Jacinta rates it 4.5 stars and recommends it to students in year 3 and above.
Calder Cricket Carnival
On Thursday, 19th of October students from Years 5 & 6 travelled across to Boort, to take part in the annual Calder Cricket Carnival. In perfect cricketing conditions, 10 teams took part in a 3-round tournament, resulting in each team participating in a final. After a bit of a slow start, the College team went on a roll, winning their last 2 games! They then played their best all round game of the day, taking out their final and finishing 3rd. A big congratulations to all students on the way they conducted themselves, demonstrating great teamwork and sportsmanship. A big thank-you to Mr. McCallum for organising the day and also to the Sport & Recreation students for taking on umpiring and scoring duties.
Around the classrooms
How gorgeous are our Year 12 VCE students!
On their last day of school the Foundation class threw them a party.
Then yesterday, after they finished their English exam, they visited again….
This is a gift they gave Lizzie and they spoilt the Foundation students with a book each!
Renee, Charlie and Ashton playing the subitising counter drop game. Who ever said, maths isn’t fun!
Last Thursday, the VET Animal Studies students gave presentations about different animals to our students.
They learnt about rabbits and even got to pat one.
