Budding entrepreneurs put their ideas to the test 

Young entrepreneurs in the making took their businesses to the school marketplace on Friday 18 June, bringing much buzz to the College Green with an array of delicious treats for sale, including fairy floss, popcorn, hot chips and gourmet crepes. 

The 'Who's the Boss?' program gave Year 9 Economics and Business the opportunity to develop their enterprise skills in problem-solving, communication, team work and financial planning, while discovering what it's like to build, market and run business. 

The program wrapped up today with a lunchtime movie screening, giving students a warm space to relax and unwind during the coldest week of winter. 

Congratulations to all students involved and thank you to the wonderful volunteers, staff and students who supported this venture. 

Darkside lights up the night 

Illuminating the midwinter's night, the Darkside arts festival transformed the convent and front lawns into a dramatic landscape of darkness, mystery and intrigue. 

The event, which was designed around a gothic theme, was a feast for the senses, with haunting art installations, spellbinding drama, rock and string, and band performances, and digital media projections.

On behalf of the College's Creative and Performing Arts Collective, Sarah Adams (Learning Area Coordinator – Visual Arts and Language) has expressed her thanks and gratitude to all staff members who contributed to the event. 

'Your dedication to our girls and the lengths you all went to to ensure that their talents shone through was inspiring in the least,' Sarah said.

'Our students put on a brilliant show that filled us all with great pride. We are very privileged to have such dedicated students to work with.' 

Thank you to our fantastic community who ventured out on Thursday 17 June to brave the rain and cold to celebrate the talents and creativity of our Years 7-10 students.

Year 1s tour historic Narryna 

The Year 1 Echidnas and Penguins had the chance to think like historians during a recent trip to Narryna in Battery Point. 

An 1830s merchant house and collection, Narryna tells the story of early colonial life in Hobart.

The visit formed part of the Year 1's history unit, which provides opportunities for students to look into the past and explore the history of their community. 

The classes enjoyed observing the house and the objects in it. Highlights of the day included hearing narratives about people's lives some 180 years ago and learning about what life was like in Battery Point without electricity or water taps.
