Huge congratulations go to Year 11 students Joshua Zimmermann, Cale Davis and Jamie Wright for winning the Synthesis Film competition last week with their short film, Limbo.
ECU judges were impressed with their effort, creativity and cinematography.
Here is a tiny snippet of the film:
Students in Year 7, 8, 9, and 11 will be receiving their subject confirmation for the five term 2018 academic year in Homeroom this week.
Students in Year 10 have already received this information.
Information on Booklist requirements will be emailed to families on Friday 1 September.
Please contact Mrs Stout in the Library if you have any questions about the Booklist.
If you know someone who wants to start university in 2018 and achieved an ATAR of 80.00 or above, they may be eligible for the Murdoch First Scholarship worth $2,000. And if they accomplished an ATAR of 90.00 or higher, they may be awarded with a $3,000 scholarship.
All they have to do is choose a Murdoch undergraduate course as their first preference through TISC and enrol full-time in Semester 1, 2018. Be sure that they get their preferences into TISC by 11pm on Friday 29 September to avoid a late application fee.
Please see the Murdoch University Website for further information.

This yearly exhibition helps to develop the creative and innovative potential of the students. The high standard of craftmanship and creativity made it a challenge for Principal Donella Beare to pick just two winners.
The Principals Acquisitions for 2017 were awarded to the following students:
The Visual Art Acquisition Award – Josephine Hanbury-Krakolinig
The Technologies Acquisition Award – Kiara Chappell

The Synthesis Exhibition + Film Festival opened the doors and welcomed the throne of visitors.
Every year the festival impossibly surpasses the previous year.
Such talent, such vision.
Well done to everyone!
If you couldn’t make it last night it is open from August 23 – August 29 from 8:30 am -4:00 pm.
On behalf of the Year 12 ATAR Music and Drama students, we would like to formally invite you to the culmination of their creative process over this past year. As you may know, these students have been preparing tirelessly for their practical exam, with this performance being vitally important to this creative process. Performing to an audience for the first time gives these students an opportunity to showcase their work and to gain vital feedback from family and friends.
The evening is this Monday the 28th August at 7pm.
