Maths and the Purchase of Calculators (Booklist for 2019)
Thanks to the parents who have provided feedback on the 2019 Booklist concerning the purchase of calculators for Maths.
The Calculator listed for Math classes in Years 7, 8 & 9 (Texas Scientific TI-30XB Multiview for $35) is appropriate for these years. The Texas-Nspire CX CAS ($249) that is listed for Year 9 will be used in Year 10 and beyond. It has been listed at Year 9 so that students who wish to familiarise themselves with this calculator before Year 10 have the opportunity to do so. It is not required to buy this calculator at Year 9.

WHSC students are travelling to NASA in 2019!
It is with great pleasure to confirm that the G’Day Space trip to NASA will be going ahead in December 2019. Twelve Students across years 8 to 11 will be joining Mrs Anderson to experience the trip of a life time.
The trip has a STEM focus, where the Kennedy Space Centre brings STEM to life. Students will hear from space experts, experience real flows spacecraft, and engage in interactive simulators and exhibits. Students participate in hands on learning scenarios where they must put into practice scientific reasoning skills, analytical skills, lateral thinking, design skills, and the ability to challenge each other’s thinking in constructive ways. Students will also have the opportunity to conduct real science experiments, solve engineering challenges using robotics and defy gravity in a micro-gravity simulator. In addition, our students will be granted access to NASA’s restricted areas to see real launch pads, stand next to the space shuttle “Atlantis” that has flown in space over 30 times, touch a moon rock, walk under the largest rocket ever launched at the Apollo/Saturn V Center and learn how NASA is preparing for future missions.
The tour also includes:
- a visit to San Francisco, where students will participate in a “STEM to STERN” program at the USS Hornet.
- A visit to Los Angeles Knott’s Berry Farm Physics Program and Park Day
This is a truly unique opportunity and I am certain that every student attending will have lifelong memories of this remarkable experience.
For any queries regarding this adventure, please contact Judy Anderson- 95615811
Stay tuned for further news leading up to this trip- over and out!
Presentation Evening 2018
Arrangements are currently underway for the 2018 WHSC Presentation Evening. This year we have a very special key note speaker, Susan Alberti, aka "The Footy Lady". During her speech, Susan will share some of her story about how she worked through several life altering events that helped shape her into the woman that she is today. Please mark this date on your calendar and see the attached invitation to secure your tickets for this event which allows us to recognise excellence within the WHSC student community.
