Tasmania Camp

Last week, over one hundred Year 9 students attended Tasmania Camp. They saw sights such as Cataract Gorge, Port Arthur, Hobart and Coles Bay and natural wonders such as tessellated plates, blow holes and caves. The students attended a ghost tour at Port Arthur of which had a few of the students jumping out of their skin. We walked down to Wineglass Bay which was a 2-3 hour round trip in hot conditions. We were incredibly impressed with the students' attitude and behaviour over the trip. A highlight for us teachers was the no phone policy – it was fantastic to see students so engaged with each other and the non-stop conversation that occurred.

Year 9 Surface Design

Throughout the semester, Year 9 Surface Design students were completing their final design project. Their task was to create a traditional or cultural costume for a doll or figurine of their choice. This garment had to fit accordingly and was constructed using many sewing and problem-solving skills and techniques. The students had many crafty and innovative ideas. Accessories were a fantastic feature, and often added flair and style to set designs. Overall, a terrific display of hard work and creativity. Congratulations to all involved.
