Learning and Teaching

Save the Date

The countdown is on to our Art Show and Twilight Market on Thursday 3rd November. The fun starts at 5 pm until 8 pm. Highlights include the fabulous art your students have been creating throughout the year, student action team stalls, fabulous stalls and delicious food trucks.   We ask for you to save up your coins to help with change at the action team stalls as we will not be able to handle large notes. 

Here is a sneak peak of some junior art that has just been finished and displayed ready for you to see.

Scavenger Hunt

On the night there will be a Scavenger Hunt for the Seniors and Juniors.  

 Entry forms and boxes will be found in the spaces and the first correctly drawn entry will win an art pack valued at $100 (this will be drawn on Friday, following the art show).  These art packs contain some fantastic items to create lots of fabulous art. Below are just some of the items that are in the junior art pack. 

Seniors, all you have to do is find the glitter letters and work out the quote.

Juniors, you  just count all the golden paint brushes. (examples of the golden brushes and letters are in the photos).

Guess Who Competition

Even the teachers have created some art. Come and see it in the Learning Space 3 art area during the Art Show,work out which teacher is which and enter the draw to win a drawing pack.  Here is a sneak peak of what the teachers have created.  Can you guess who it might be?

Become the face of the famous artwork.

We have some paintings of famous artists or artwork with the faces cut out for you to take a photo of your friends and families as the artwork.  They are: Frida Kahlo, Mona Lisa, Rene Magritte, Vincent VanGogh and Ned Kelly.  Come and find these in Learning Space 1.

Some come along and have some fun
