Wurrin News - Year 8

Woodwork

Our Year 8 students have been showcasing their creativity and craftsmanship by designing and building their own small wooden tables before adding a personalised touch through wood burning. Students carefully used wood-burning tools to create intricate patterns, meaningful designs, and unique artwork, transforming their projects into one-of-a-kind pieces. It was wonderful to see the pride students took in their work as they combined practical woodworking skills with artistic expression to produce such impressive finished products.

Metals 

Our Year 8 students have been developing their skills in Metals by designing and creating their own candle holders. Throughout the project, students learned how to safely shape, cut, and assemble metal, applying precision and patience to bring their designs to life. The finished candle holders showcased both creativity and craftsmanship, with each piece reflecting the individuality and effort of its maker. It was fantastic to see students take pride in producing such practical and impressive metalwork projects.

Sexual Health Victoria Presentation

Our Year 8 students recently attended a Sexual Health Assembly, where they explored topics including respectful relationships, personal wellbeing, and making informed choices. The session provided students with valuable age-appropriate information and encouraged open, respectful discussions in a safe learning environment.
