Partnerships

This year we are in partnership with the University of Tasmania, Engineering Department and their Engineering students are working with 20 of our year 6 students each week on STEM. This is the second year we have joined forces with the Department. It is a wonderful opportunity for our students.  Each week they have a problem to solve using specific methodology.  Last week they designed wind turbines. The sessions will run for ten weeks.

Congratulations

Congratulations to Scarlett Sassin who won second prize in a National Poetry competition.

Gifted Education, Enrichment and Extension

This week Jenny Noble, from the Catholic Education Office came in and took a professional development session with our Years 7 and 8 staff.

We are always looking to up-skill our staff and this was a wonderful opportunity for us to listen to theories and new ideas, and then to have some time to work in our teaching teams on practical ways to provide extension.

Jenny will also run a similar professional development session with our Years 9 and 10 staff members.

2020 Electives

Our on-line portal opened on Monday afternoon and students in Years 8 and 9 are reminded to make their five selections; 1-5; with 1 being their first preference. 

If you are unsure of what to choose, please see a Head of Department or call in to my office (SB24) and I am happy to talk you through all of the options.  Parents and guardians if you have a question about options, please contact me by phone, or email me at the College.
