Girls As Leaders in STEM Update

Our girls have almost completed their Deakin GALS journey and will be celebrating their hard work at a presentation showcase with families and teachers next week.

Please take a look at their posters below. These will also be displayed alongside projects from other local schools at Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre over the school holidays. 

5/6 Geography Inquiry – Exploring the Asia-Pacific Region

Throughout Term 2, the 5/6 students have been investigating the geographical diversity of the Asia-Pacific region and its connections to Australia. Students explored a range of countries, including Indonesia, Russia, China and India, developing an understanding of each nation’s climate, demographics, culture and natural environments.

As part of their learning, students created informative slideshow presentations to showcase their research and discoveries. To conclude the unit, students selected their favourite country and designed a creative triorama featuring 3D elements to represent key geographical and cultural features. It has been wonderful to see the creativity, effort and depth of understanding demonstrated throughout this inquiry unit.

New Art Displays Around the School

Be sure to take a look at some of the wonderful new student artworks currently on display around the school!

Our Foundation students have brightened their bag area with their Rainy Day Watercolour Paintings inspired by Clarice Beckett while their Fallen Autumn Leaves Oil Pastel/Watercolour Paintings can be found in the main hallway.

In the main hallway our Year 1/2 students are showcasing Butterfly House.  Here you’ll find a collection of detailed observational butterfly drawings alongside their colourful paper relief flower sculptures.

Finally our students in Years 4/5 and 5/6 have created striking radial paper relief sculptures which are now displayed in the main hallway and office foyer.

We hope you enjoy celebrating our students' creativity and artistic achievements.
