Nude Foods

By Hannah and Ruby

On the 9th of September, our school started a trial of Nude Food. That is when you bring no rubbish to school. We keep baskets outside our classroom for our containers to be placed in after we eat our snack. This act is to reduce rubbish in the school yard

Every week two student leaders go around to every class and they ask everyone who brought in nude food, and on which days. They check for the whole week and then on Friday at Assembly they announce which class had the most nude food. The winner gets a prize.

Since we started doing nude food our school has started to look cleaner and out rubbish bins have not been as full as they were. We think this project has really helped our school become a cleaner place.

CBL

By Jason and Cooper

On Thursdays and some Tuesdays for an hour we have CBL. CBL stands for Challenge Based Learning. this terms topic is 'After Earth'. In this topic we are in groups of 4 or less. Each group has to design a solution for how to sustain human life if something happened to earth. We had to write a letter for the teachers about who should be in our groups and why. We also had to write what our solution would be.

In the first few sessions we got into groups of three or four and brainstormed what we knew about space and the living environment of space. We also had to talk about what we would need in space to combat things like low gravity and no oxygen.

Once we got into our groups, we discussed what our solutions should be. There was lots of ideas like space ships to different planets, or a space station hovering in space. There was also talk of a forcefield around earth, or a Mars food centre. 

It has been a very fun and challenging topic so far. All of the solutions are coming together and the groups are working very well with each other. 

Jump Disco

By Payton and Tierone

On Friday the 13th, we had our whole school jump disco. The Juniors and Foundies started at 6pm and finished at 7:15pm, and the Middles and Seniors started at 7:30 and finished at 9pm. 

At 8pm the canteen opened. Some of the foods we could get are Big Boss, popcorn, trolli geckos, musk sticks, chocolates, gummy frogs and fizzers. There were also lots of cups of water. 

Some of the songs were from production. Some of the other songs were Old Town Road, Baby Shark, and Let It Go. I didn't like them but Payton was busting some moves.

MENtor Program

By Darcy and Tate

On the first week of MENtor program we were so excited. All the people in the MENtor program got pulled aside to Mrs Meilak and she told us that we would be joining the MENtor program. The people running it was a lady named Kate, Madi & Madeline. Half way through we were put into groups. The groups were called Hawthnorthrichdz, Fish legs, and The Boys. The end was very sad. We got food and we did activities with the Juniors. We did team ball and Hawthnorthrichdz got the highest score: 42. Amazing right?
