Years 7-9 

7-9 Key Dates

The final week of Term 1 is upon us, as we wake to cool, dark mornings. The Years 7 to 9 students and staff thank Mr Daff for all he has done in his time at the College and wish him well at Rushworth. 

Over the past week, all our students have been involved in tennis coaching at the tennis courts, something that will continue early into Term 2. Students will finish up this term with Assembly and the Food Fight prior to a 2.30pm dismissal on Friday. 

Looking forward to Term 2. Year 9 will undertake their Morrisby surveys first day back, and we will be holding our school ANZAC service on the Thursday afternoon of the first week. If students are looking for something to do in the holidays, they may want to undertake some training for the Cross Country which will take place in week 3. 

Visiting classrooms last week, Year 7 were baking scones. 

Year 9 trade pieces are coming along.

Year 8 Art:

Year 8 IT

In IT, the Year 8s have been learning about graphical images. They have looked at how combining different amounts of red, green and blue light create different colours. They also learned how computers store digital images by encoding colour information using 1s and 0s.

Year 8 Design and Technology:

Last week, the Year 8s continued to expand upon their knowledge of cars by studying the different components that make up an automobile. They also looked into how a turbo uses exhaust gas to power a compressor that can feed compressed air into an engine to produce more power. 

Year 8 Advisory

Each week students undertake team building exercises. Their communication skills when undertaking this task were outstanding!
