Fast & Fresh

This week in Food Studies, the Year 9 & 10 Fast and Fresh classes produced the Burgers and Milkshakes they had designed in Term One. They were very excited to come into the kitchen and see their carefully selected ingredients ready for them to prepare their own designer recipes. Well done Year 9 & 10s for demonstrating your creative and cooking skills today!

VCE Systems Engineering Update

Our VCE Systems Engineering classes are getting stuck into their construction projects this term. At Unit 1, students are hard at work on their Mechanical Systems projects, building scale models of systems to help rural communities in the wake of natural disasters such as bushfires and floods. Our designs include elevator pulley systems, to help retrieve people who might have fallen into sinkholes, hand-cranked water pumps, foldable bridges, and mobile crane and plow systems for clearing debris from roads. 

At Unit 3, our students are working on their individual Integrated Systems projects, which constitute their major assessment for Units 3 and 4. These include an animatronic torso, an electric go-kart, a remote-control boxing game, and an autonomous wheelie bin caddy.

Textiles

Hi I’m Charlotte, I’m one of the Art and Technology captains. This term in textiles the year 8s have been working very hard sewing different kinds of stuffed toys to donate to local organizations called United and Each to donate to kids in need. This has been a great class and I have enjoyed learning different kinds of stitches. This is a great cause because we are giving back to the community. Stay tuned for photos towards the end of term of the final toys.
