Visual Arts

Photojournalists At Large!

Last Friday our Year 12 Photography, Video and Digital Imaging class took a train to the city to see the photography of Max Dupain, Lorrie Grahame and Mervyn Bishop. The exhibitions were in the State Library and we entered through the old Mitchell Library facade. Following this we crossed the street and wandered through a bush track, a part of the wonderful Botanic Gardens. The students took pictures of lovely greenery and local landscapes with our cameras, embracing the beautiful day. The excursion was very educational and successful for our journeys as photographers. Thank you, Ms Doyle, for this experience, which taught us so much about photojournalism and how much of an important role it plays in our lives everyday.

Maths Drop In – A Great Time to Get Prepared!

What a fantastic turnout at Maths Drop-In as we head into this busy period leading up to the yearly examinations! It is wonderful to see so many students taking the initiative to strengthen their understanding, ask questions and prepare for their upcoming assessments.

If you are unsure how to study, what to study, or how to organise your time effectively, Maths Drop In is the perfect place to start! Come along for guidance on developing effective study strategies, reviewing key concepts, practising challenging questions and creating a realistic study schedule to help you feel more organised and confident.

Remember, successful exam preparation is not just about how much you study, but how effectively you use your time. Start early, set achievable goals, identify areas for improvement and don't be afraid to ask for help. A little preparation each day can make a big difference!

Bring a friend, bring your questions and bring a positive attitude! Whether you need help with a tricky concept, want to clarify your understanding or simply need a quiet space to study, Maths Drop In is here to support you.

Take advantage of this opportunity to build your confidence, stay on track and be the best you can be. Every question asked, every problem attempted and every minute spent preparing brings you one step closer to achieving your goals.

We look forward to seeing you at Maths Drop In!

English Drop-In

We are excited to introduce a new initiative at the college: English Drop-In. This initiative provides an opportunity for students seek support from English staff, get feedback, and refine their work. With end-of-year English examinations coming up, this is a valuable chance for students to work on areas for improvement, build confidence, and further develop their English skills. All students are welcome and encouraged to attend.

When? Wednesday mornings from 7:45 am – 8:30 a.m.

Where? C1
