Another Win for Senior Boys Soccer

Our senior boys soccer team have won again! This is an amazing achievement, with around 100 schools from across the state competing.

Coach, Jonathon Langley said…..

“We’re through to the quarter finals of the state competition – we’re in the top 8 teams in the state! 
 It was an exciting and even game and after extra time it finished up 1-1. This took the game to a penalty shoot out. All 11 players for both teams had taken a penalty before we could find a winner and it was Harry Dickson who managed to score the winning penalty. Will Parkes was also a hero as he was brilliant in goal during the penalties, pulling off some great saves.”
The boys were absolutely bouncing at the end of the game – as they deserved to be. ”    

The boys are hoping to get more spectators along to cheer them on in the next game. Their opponents are yet to be confirmed.

 

Netball Finals

Congratulations to the Year 11 Carramar netball team who played in the State Elimination Finals at Fremantle Netball Association on Friday 28 July.

Results on the day didn’t quite go our way but a great effort by the girls to make the top 22 schools in the state.

Senior Football (soccer)

The Carramar senior boys football (soccer) team took on Morley SHS last week in a knockout final.

After going down a goal just before half time the boys kicked 2 goals in the second half to secure a 2-1 win and a spot in the top 16 school teams in WA. 

Well done lads! 

Arts Tour Aladdin Movie Night

The 2017 Arts tour students had the opportunity to reunite, almost a term after the tour returned to enjoy a movie night together. Not only did they get to enjoy the movie and each other’s company, but also a SKYPE call from Aladdin himself! Stage star Ainsley Melham stars in the hit Musical in the role of Aladdin, on show in Melbourne and will hit the stage in Perth early 2018.  Ainsley spent a half an hour chatting with the excited Year 11 and 12 students answering questions about his studies in WAAPA, auditions and being on tour.

ATAR English – The Complexities of Being Human

Over the past few weeks, Yr 12 English students have been viewing, analysing and exploring two award winning film texts, Gran Torino and Cartel Land. These texts, which both offer unique  insights into the complexity of being human, have allowed students to engage with many of the more difficult concepts in the Yr 12 ATAR English course.

Importantly though, as can be seen in the images below, students have had the opportunity also to discuss and debate a range of important matters that have arisen from their viewing. With issues of race, class, gender, immigration, drug enforcement and justice at the core of these discussions, students spent three periods last week debating with one another the value of these texts in exploring the human condition.

Comments from the three English teachers, Mr Crewe, Mrs Battersby and Mr Taylor, indicate that it was some of the best learning and engaged debate we have seen thus far. Well done to the Yr 12s involved.
