Year 8 Electives

Year 8 Electives start in Step Up.

Step-up 2017 has been an exciting time for our new year 8 students with the commencement of our new elective program. This has afforded our students the opportunity to select a subject where they can pursue their personal interests. Whilst visiting many classrooms last Wednesday, Mr Robinson and myself were very pleased to see so many of our students engaged in dynamic new subjects. For instance, the public speaking class was hotly debating an important topic, ‘Which pet do you prefer, dogs or cats?’, whilst over in food technology, the edible gifts students were creating a hedgehog slice. In rising stars we enjoyed watching a small snippet of a dance performance by one group of students and a drama performance by another group.  In robotics with Mr Dew, a competitiveness prevailed with a hotly contested soccer match between a number of lego robots. Environmental art students were showing creative flair with their colourful pavement, chalk drawings and the sport excel class was getting ready for a gruelling fitness activity. We look forward to seeing the great work of our students continuing in 2017. From the Year 8 office, we wish all of our current and past year 8 students a very happy holiday period and we hope to see them return ready for a successful year in 2017.
