Class News

With all of the students settling into the College, it has been fantastic to see a high level of participation in the classrooms.  Many of the first assessment tasks are scheduled and this should give us an indication of how we can best support our students' learning.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the classroom teachers via email or phone.  Contact details can be found in your child/ren's Connect class.

Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (OLNA) Timetable - Round 1 2024

During Week 5 and 6, students from Year 11 and 12 will be sitting their OLNA. We have been so impressed with the engagement in our targeted, small-group preparation sessions; this allows you the best opportunity for success!

It is important that students are in attendance on these days as we only have limited opportunities to sit these assessments.  Students have two opportunities to sit OLNA each year in order to achieve the literacy and numeracy requirement of their Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE).

If you are unwell or have an approved absence on your scheduled date, please contact the school so that we can allocate a catch-up session where possible. 

Writing - Monday Week 5, Period 2

Numeracy - Thursday Week 5, Period 3

Reading - Tuesday Week 6, Period 3

Uniforms

Just a couple of reminders about school uniform when attending Class: 

• Please tuck in your shirt - we understand it's hot at the moment, but it is one of the requirements outlined in the College Guidelines.
• Hats - only College hats are permitted to be worn during school hours.
• Earphones - only in/on ears during independent work, if approved by your classroom teacher.

Plant Production Systems - Year 12 General         

The first four weeks have been very busy in the classroom, with many students completing their first assessment tasks of the year. 

Year 12 Plant Production System students have been learning about plant structure and function with an in-depth look at the parts of a plant cell, structure of a flower, and plant reproduction.

In the midst of the heat, we have taken our learning outside where students demonstrated their knowledge by drawing a life size plant cell using chalk, as a class we walked around the cell discussing it part and its function within the plant. 

Students are also conducted an experiment where they are growing both monocotyledon (oats) and dicotyledon (canola) seeds in a bag to compare the difference in their root systems and first leaf emergence.
