This term I have learned many new things. For example in writing I learnt how to write not only one essay but two! Another thing I learnt was chemicals and all the different types of metals, acids and bases that mix together to create something new. In Intercultural Studies we just created new Acknowledgements of Country that we are now going read in front of the class each day. This term has been a huge step for me as we are also now touring other schools and getting ready for next year. - Latia
