Year 7 Family Fun Night

On Thursday May 18 Carramar Year 7’s and parents enjoyed the Family Fun Night in the school Sports and Learning Centre.

Once again parents showed that experience and wisdom can outperform youth and enthusiasm in the building and jigsaw challenges, whilst the students held their own in the basketball and paper plane competitions.

Particular mention to Keeley Oakes, who dominated the free shot competition, Kade McLeish and Emily Forsyth who won the longest flight path and most accurate plane respectively. It was great to see students working with their parents as they attempted Mr Bosma’s various ‘minute to win it’ challenges – the Cheezel tower and  the riddles being enjoyed by all.

Thank you to the parents for the delicious spread of food and to everyone for making the evening an enjoyable and memorable night.

REMEMBRANCE DAY

On Friday, 11th November 2016, Year 3 to 12 students at Carramar gathered together to mark Remembrance Day. The service led by some of the Year 11 History Students, with participation by some Year 3 students and the school choir, remembered the sacrifices shown by Australian soldiers in World War One and all conflicts since that date. Poems, bible readings, prayers and a commemorative address were used to highlight the importance of Remembrance Day and the reason why we need to stop in order to think about servicemen and women who have paid the ultimate price for our rights and freedoms. The service also incorporated the traditional Last Post, Minutes Silence and Rouse. Lest We Forget.

Another successful and engaging learning experience for students studying MDT wood, metal or engineering in 2017. The Design and Technology department takes safety seriously, in doing so it is a requirement that all upper school students attend this day and refine and engage with safe workshops knowledge and skills. The day is based on industry standards and was enjoyed by all, highlights including testing P.P.E and fire safety training.
