From the Curriculum Leaders

A Curriculum Snapshot 

As the Curriculum Leaders, each fortnight we will provide a snapshot of some of the diverse and engaging learning experiences that students have enjoyed across the College. We are planning to interview students and their teachers, including Heads of Department about what is happening both within and outside the classroom walls.

On Monday this week,  the Year 4 students thoroughly enjoyed sailing on the Lady Nelson as part of their unit on explorers. Mrs Himson stated that the students are learning about the explorers and the First Fleet. The opportunity to experience tall ship sailing will not doubt be one of the highlights for the students this year.

In contrast, the Year 8 students have been involved in a series of Digital Technologies sessions addressing a range of topics such as the history of the internet and social media including the speed at which photographs are shared. One of the key messages for students was the importance of leaving a positive digital footprint. According to Mr Peck these sessions are addressing specialist technical skills.

By keeping parents abreast of the happenings around the College, we hope to spark conversations on the home-front and foster a sense of connectedness.
