Year 7/8 Markets
This term, our 7/8 students have been working on establishing small business enterprises to learn about economics, budgeting, marketing and profit and loss.
On Thursdays 5th, 12th & 19th September, students will run their businesses at lunchtime markets in the undercover area.
Some of the goods on sale include sausages, milkshakes, crepes, ice creams, drinks & lollies.
All profits from the market will go towards the K Mart Wishing Tree so please support it if you can by sending in some cash for students to spend.
Please note that sausages need to be ordered before the event and order forms will go home during the week– other items will be available on the day until sold out. Items all vary from $1 - $3 in price. Thanks for your support!

DIDJERIBONE
In week 6 of the term we were fortunate to have a visiting artist attend school to teach us about the didgeridoo. Tjupurra, a First Nations man, demonstrated how the didgeridoo works. Then he introduced us to an instrument that he has created, called the didjeribone, a plastic version of the didgeridoo, that is easier to use to produce sounds. He is a talented performer who has worked with many famous artists over his career, including Midnight Oil. He demonstrated both traditional Aboriginal works, and more contemporary music. He was not only talented, but funny, and the students from years F – 12 thoroughly enjoyed his presentation.
