Secondary
Sydney Jewish Museum Excursion
On Friday the 20th of September, a group of Stage 5 students were given the opportunity to travel to Sydney and immerse themselves in a three hour program at the Sydney Jewish Museum. This complemented their current study of the Holocaust in Stage 5 History.
The program started with students hearing from a Holocaust Survivor named Lucy, who told them about her experiences when Budapest was taken over by the Nazis. After this, students toured the museum and saw a variety of artefacts from the Holocaust including the Stars of David that were used to identify Jewish People during the time of Nazi oppression.
The program ended with a workshop on the different types of resistance that occurred during the Holocaust including, spiritual, physical, moral/ideological and sabotage! Students learned about these through stories about relatives who resisted the Nazis during the Holocaust.
The experience was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The Museum and presentations were insightful and interesting, in particular speaking to the survivor Lucy.
Miss Walls HSIE Teacher
Year 12 Textiles and Design
Congratulation to Katelyn for successfully completing her major work. She worked tirelessly on this project dedicating her spare time to create a beautiful felted dragon. Katelyn created a variegated wet felt with Merino wool and silk fibres for the body of the dragon, the dragon included wet and dry felting, hand embroidery, foam marble dyeing using liquid radiance, trapunto stuffing and chenilling. Katelyn layered a series of individually made feathers using free motion machine stitching, fabric pizza, Angelina fibres and wet felt. The project demonstrates a range of skills in both construction and embellishment. Katelyn also produced 12 pages of supporting documentation which tracked her design decisions and construction process. This is hopefully the first of many HSC textiles classes at BCS. I can’t wait to share my passion with future year groups.

Friday Unwind
This time in the term can be hard on students, there is disruption to routines, excursions and everyone is tired. Today in Unwind, students made a pledge to themselves for how they can look after their mental health in the last week of school and the holidays. These pledges are hanging on our wellbeing noticeboard in the double storey building.
