Ancient Greece 

This term, our Year 7 students have been exploring the fascinating world of Ancient Greece, delving into various aspects of this influential civilization. 

They have studied the politics and government of the time, including the birth of democracy in Athens and the contrasting systems in Sparta. 

Students have examined war and conflict, learning about significant battles such as, Trojan, Marathon and Thermopylae, as well as the strategies and bravery of great leaders like Alexander the Great. 

In addition, students explored religion and beliefs, discovering the powerful myths and gods that shaped Greek culture and daily life. 

Our learning journey also covered sport and leisure, focusing on the origins of the Olympic Games, and art and literature, where students appreciated the impact of Greek theatre, sculpture, and storytelling. 

It’s been an engaging and insightful unit that has helped students understand how Ancient Greece continues to influence our world today. 

Ash Wood, Year 7 delivered an exceptional oral presentation on Ancient Greece – Art and Craft in CAT2. 

Students were excited to learn about Ancient Greece and its location on the map.

Delilah Murphy, Year 7 and Laura Leech, Year 7 actively participated in our recent class activity exploring the geography of Ancient Greece.

Year 10 Commerce 

As part of the ‘economy’ unit in Commerce, students were tasked with developing new skills that are used in the ‘real world’ of business. 

Students designed and created infographics using their choice of computer program. The winning infographics as voted by the class are pictured here with their creators Abi Tan, Year 10 and Violet Maceda, Year 10.

Students also researched their choice of company (either a ‘Forbes 500’ company or a franchise) and examined how that business has innovated to stay successful in the world of business. 

Students presented their findings to each other in an environment designed to mimic a real world office setting.
