Year 7 News

Moving forward into Semester 2

Students have been reflecting on their performance in Semester 1 Subject Reports during Homegroup. The purpose is for students to be aware of their achievements, to feel good about this, and to know and improve areas requiring attention. The challenge for many students is where to start, to identify strategies, and to make realistic goals for the week(s) ahead.

Tech School

Virtual Reality headsets took students into a spacecraft with the aim of experimenting with the equipment to create different movements. Next, students toured the solar system. The third task was a nauseating, dizzy experience for passengers in a zero-gravity environment.

Students controlled robots with I-Pad commands and were given the challenge of collecting 3D objects.

Learning Behaviour Updat

Celebrating achievement comes in many forms, but the favourite is definitely the Hot Chip Lunch for the Learning Behaviour Update scores. 45 of our 94 students gained a score of 3.5 out of 4.0. A further 33 students scored between 3.0 and 3.5. Well done to all, especially any students who are getting themselves organised for class and making the most of class time.

Art

Students have been working on a few different types of artworks. They have explored creating contrast with colour line and shape. 

Students have explored what stereotypes are and how characters are portrayed as very flat in most cartoons. Students discussed how people can and are man things and that is okay.
