Year 10 Food Technology

Year 10 Food Technology students were tasked to create a healthy breakfast, morning tea or lunch item.

The students produced a range of dishes both sweet and savoury, including acai bowls, poached eggs on toast, Vietnamese noodles, wholemeal pancakes and muesli with yoghurt.  They used the skills they have learnt so far in class to produce some appetizing and delectable meals!   

Very proud of their efforts!

Year 10 are adapting well to learning from home. The PE faculty have modified their PE lessons so that students can be active at home. Last week they worked on identifying which exercises they can do at home. Students were asked to show their teachers what they can do by submitting a photo of them completing different exercises.

Students should make sure they are following their normal routines in regard to classes but also remember to take time away from their screen and remote learning to maintain all elements of their health and development also. We are very impressed with the level of commitment they have shown and look forward to seeing them complete the remote learning challenges we have in store for them over the next few weeks to break the boredom of isolation and continue to connect with teachers and peers.

Wow! What an interesting and strange few weeks it has been for us all! It is awfully strange to not be around our Year Group, and quite frankly, we miss them immensely! 

So much so that we are now having a year group video call each morning just to say hello and keep everyone smiling as we all wake up and get ready for our school day online. It’s fair to say that some of us have struggled with this new routine and systems to learn - we are getting there though. 

Although our circumstances of online learning won’t be forever, we can already see the positive lesson it has taught us all: don’t take anything (or anyone!) for granted.

Keep safe & keep in contact with each other while we ride this out together.

Year 11 English Studies students participated in mock job interviews as part of their coursework assessment.  Getting job ready is a goal for all students and this task required them to choose a job ad, prepare their resumè  and write a covering application letter. The next stage was the mock interview. Mrs Rattos and Mr Nguyen took on the roles of interviewers and the students dressed in business attire and conducted themselves professionally in this real world setting.

Some interviews were conducted face to face, but with the advent of the Corona virus, some interviews were online. Mrs Rattos and Mr Nguyen were impressed with the quality of the students work. The students enjoyed the task, and commented how useful this very practical task will be for them long term.

Year 12

Dear Year 12,

Thanks for engaging with remote learning. Whilst I understand how challenging the current situation is, I’ve been impressed with the virtual classrooms I have been observing.

Keep working diligently, you will still receive a HSC and your learning is important.  There are many avenues of support with your learning you can access. Just ask us for help.

Stephanie Haskett, Deputy Principal

Year 9 and Year 12

Year 12 have shown their maturity and flexibility in the transition to online learning over the last week. They have been engaging in lessons on Moodle, Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams as well as video conferencing on Zoom.

NESA has decided the HSC will be going ahead.  All students in year 12 are encouraged to work with their teachers and use their class time to ask questions about the content being taught in each subject. 

Miss Fagan and Mr Robinson are always available if any issue arises. As your year advisors, it is our job to offer you support in these challenging times.

Join our Zoom meeting every Monday morning at 8:30 am
