Headstart - Design Thinking

Congratulations to all students for their active and positive involvement in the Headstart 2020 program. The school has been buzzing with positive energy as students have moved into their new year levels. The Year 9s have been involved in a three-day Design Thinking Project where students in their form groups had to design a three dimensional suburb 3m x 3m including residential, green space, commercial components and with robots that can move about the suburb. The suburbs were absolutely fantastic and this was a great way for students to get to know each other. A huge congratulations to Diana Gilbert (Domain Leader – Science & STEAM Learning Specialist) who lead a team of teachers to facilitate this project.

Headstart Week 3: Monday 9 to Friday 13 December - 2020 Years 8 & 9

We wish everyone a safe and relaxing break over the holidays and look forward to beginning the 2020 year.

Lockers

All students must clean out their lockers before their last day of the year. All items need to be removed and disposed of or taken home.

Uniform

The summer holiday period is an ideal time to evaluate your summer, winter and sport uniform. Ask "will it make it through another year?" Items may need to be adjusted, mended or replaced. Dress hemlines should be between 5cm above and 5cm below the knee as a guideline. As our students grow, the length needs to be adjusted accordingly.

Environment week

Monday 16 to Thursday 19 December

Students will participate in environmental duties until lunchtime and view a film in the afternoon. The alternate program is:

Each day will commence at 9am and students will be dismissed at 3pm.
Students are to dress in casual clothes, with enclosed footwear (eg runners).
Students are to report to Room 1 each morning at 8.55am.
The canteen will NOT be open so students will need to bring their own recess snack and lunch. Students will not be permitted to leave school grounds to purchase food.
Recess (10.15am to 10.30am) and lunch (12noon to 1pm) will be held in the canteen quadrangle.
