New Staff 

Chloe Welch, Year 7 teacher

"I've lived in Echuca/Moama for the last 10 years, have two beautiful children and also teach Zumba Fitness twice a week at my local gym.

 

I have worked with students with additional needs for the last two years. It has been great getting back to school and seeing everyone's faces."

Stanhope Health Garden Student Designs

During Term 2, Indigenous students were invited to have input into the design of garden panel work at Stanhope Health. The students worked hard to come up with a design that was culturally significant to them and the area.

 

The following students were lucky enough to have their designs chosen to be printed onto the metal panels. Well done to Yirrkala Fermor, Whyalla Fermor and Alyssa Morton on your very creative designs.

Thank you to all students who participated in the lunchtime sessions to create a design.

2021 Arts and Design Technologies Showcase Exhibition - Entries close 22nd October

It’s on again……Our annual Arts and Design Technologies Showcase Exhibition will again be going VIRTUAL.

 

This year we will be looking at things from a ‘different perspective’.

 

Family and friends will be able to view this exhibition from the comfort of their own home during Week 5 of this term.

 

The exhibition will showcase student work from Foundation up to Year 12, that has been designed, manufactured and created in Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Visual Communication Design, Media, Technology - Wood, Metal and Food, both at school and at home.

 

How do I enter? 

 

There are two ways to enter your work into the Virtual Showcase Exhibition:

  1. Your teacher will select work created in class or during remote learning.
  2. You can enter work in our new category ‘Art and Technology at Home’. This category is for work that you may have done at home during the year, that does not relate to school.

The school holidays are the perfect opportunity to be creative and to get your entries ready.  All entries must be submitted to your teacher by Friday 22nd October.

Let's Keep Recycling Old School Uniform Items

We have already received donations of many uniforms that are no longer required by families.  Keep saving them.

 

With the changeover to our new school uniform this term, we encourage families to continue donating superseded uniform items to Rotary Donations-In-Kind, rather than sending them to landfill.  A collection bin is available at our College Office for items that are clean and in good condition.  Donated items will then be distributed to communities in developing countries.
