Kindergarten
This week in devotions our Kindy students learnt about the grand temple Solomon built for God to dwell in. In literacy groups they discussed the different houses people can live in and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Some children liked the idea of a houseboat so that they could be close to fish and sharks; others preferred a caravan so they could drive to grandma's house for a sleepover. Children then designed and constructed different houses. Some were grand temples, one was a houseboat with a getaway plane, one was life-sized, and children had a turn sitting in it! While Solomon's temple was pretty grand and lined with gold, the children were pretty pleased with their designs!
Year 11 Design and Technology
Students visited Kimbriki's re-use shop to find materials to use for their current up-cycling project. We can't wait to see what you create!
Year 7 History
Year 7 enthusiastically participated in their mystery box activity, using the information in various mystery boxes to hypothesise who each box belonged to. Every student brought in a box, showing an excellent commitment to learning.
They used the evidence in the boxes, along with their knowledge of their classmates, to deduce who each box belonged to. There were a few boxes that could have belonged to several classmates, so the Year 7 historians demonstrated the idea of ‘contestability’ in their discussion.
Congratulations to Charlie S, Year 9
In October last year, Charlie trialled and was successful in making the NSW U14 State Futsal Team! In early January, he travelled to Melbourne to compete in the 2025 National Futsal Championships where his team won, becoming the National Champions. Congratulations Charlie!
Year 8 Science
Do you know how nylon is made? Our Year 8 Scientists made a piece of nylon that stretched over 17 metres in length! How? Just ask our students!
