Lilly’s Legend was about a cane toad who made the weather sunny and hot in Queensland and Maggie’s Fable entitled ‘Connie the Kangaroo’ was about Lenny, the lizard and Connie who helped each other out of trouble. Chloe Dubois in Year 9 wrote a Fractured Fairy Tale entitled ‘The Three Rabbits and the Horse’ where the horse tried several tactics to take the carrots from the rabbits.

Advance Elective

"For our Duke of Ed this year, we completed a 30km bush walk along the Great Southwest Walk. After weeks of practicing walking with weighted packs in Advance class, we packed our backpacks and headed down towards Nelson. Starting at Battersby’s, we walked roughly 7kms through hills until we reached our first campsite at Patterson’s which was where we stayed the night. After cooking dinner in our Trangia’s we set up our tents. The second day started after breakfast as we headed off for our 21km day. With many rests we made it to our second camp site. On our final day, we canoed from Donovan’s landing to sandy waterholes."
