Drama Solo performances

VCE Unit 3/4 Drama solos were performed for parents and friends at the end of Term 3. The evening was well attended and the young actors were very impressive in the way they conveyed such difficult material.

Studying the theatrical style of Non-Naturalism means that the students are required to transform into multiple characters and have an object to transform. Each prescribed structure is composed of the following: character, stimulus, performance focus, performance style, convention, dramatic element and reference material. Thanks to Ms Metcalf and her class - Matt, Mietta, Louis, Curtis, Madeline, Gab, Adam and Luisa for an excellent evening's entertainment.

Yr 12 Geographers tackling climate change

On Friday the 28 August, Year 12 Geography students were invited to take a tour of the Northcote Aquatic Centre's new sustainability and energy saving upgrades as part of their topic on Climate Change. As part of their course, Geography students have to be able to identify global, regional and local solutions and policy responses to the impacts of climate change, and the tour provided an excellent insight into the types of projects that can be undertaken at a local level. Thanks to Indy Lingam from the City of Darebin for his time and enthusiasm in showing the class the centre facilities. The class were also joined by LaTrobe University pre-service teacher (and ex-NHS student) Alana Smith.
