Wellington Division School Swimming Sports 

On Wednesday 9th March students from Morwell and Churchill campuses participated in the Wellington Division School Swimming Sports at the Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre in Traralgon. 

Students were competing against schools from across our division. Ty Collins qualified to represent the Churchill campus in the Boys 14 backstroke and breast-stroke. He competed admirably on the day, receiving a 5th in the backstroke event in a very strong field. On the day, Ty said, “It was a tough race, but I was pleased with my effort and hope I can come back and do better next year.” Well done, Ty and all our other competitors from the Morwell campus. 

ART 

Year 7's have been learning about blending with oil pastels. They have been working to create a 'Night Sky' of their choice with vibrant colours on pastel paper with a dark silhouette in the foreground. 

Year 9's and 10's have been diligently planning and creating 3D sculptures using only metal items, such as bottle caps, wire and various sized tins. Using these items, students have combined to create a variety of different animals, figures and objects. 

WATER COLOUR 

Year 7 students have been learning about silhouettes and painting with water colour paints. They have been exploring how to create different textures, patterns and layering of the water colour paints to create engaging and interesting backgrounds. Students brainstormed, researched, sketched and drew their silhouette shapes on top of their colourful backgrounds. 

Concept Art Canvas Painting

Year 9/10 students have been exploring canvas painting for the last few weeks. They have explored creating textures, patterns and tones with a variety of colours and about a wide range of topics they like. Students have learnt about what style of painting works for their personal style throughout this process.
