School Clubs
Breakfast Club
Student Leaders Celebrate 2nd Anniversary of Breakfast Club on May 9th. Plus Free Dress Day raises $1,300 for Breakfast Club.
Indigenous Art Club
The Indigenous Art Club originated as a STEAM based project to design and develop a collaborative arts-based public mosaic sculpture that represents a developing understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander climate, weather and culture in Victoria. STEAM is a learning and teaching pedagogy that integrates art and design into STEM. Last year’s project integrated the arts into building and making the mosaic on the six Indigenous Seasons which is displayed onto our school grounds, this year’s aim is to develop a multi-discipline collaboration within our school community. The Indigenous Art club members will be undertaking ongoing maintenance of the mosaic as well as research other areas of Aboriginal culture and how they can be represented within our school community. In the future the club will also be able to branch out and collaborate with other major events of our school that promote respect to the community– i.e. Close the Gap, ANZAC Day and Multicultural Day.
Magic Club
Magic: Gathering will be celebrating their 25th anniversary this year. Starting in 1993, it was the first ever trading card game to be made and took place in the fictional world of Dominaria. Ever since then, many new worlds have been created and explored through the card game’s story telling. However in the opinion of many, Dominaria has always been the community’s favourite. Therefore to mark this milestone, the characters of the story will return to Dominaria. This new set of cards was released on the 28th of April with many external events happening over the school holidays to build players up to the release. Our own students in Magic club have been learning about some of these new rules and cards.
Homework Club
Homework club has been a wonderful success this first term with students of all year levels coming on Thursday evenings to frequently ask for help with their work. The smaller environment enables teachers to work with students individually for a longer amount of time throughout the hour in the LRC. This year saw the addition of workshops to homework club for students who wanted to expand their skills. The Japanese and French workshop engaged students which was a great starting point for them to look into resources and ways to further their interest. The first workshop this term was a knitting workshop which ran on the 26th of April. Other than making gifts in general, students in year 9 who are completing a community project or thinking of ideas for community day might found this workshop helpful. The next workshop will be on the 17th of May with the lesson being Wing Chun, a martial arts style.
