Market Day

October 25, 2018

The end of term three saw the participation of the Year 8 students at the Year 5 Market Day.  Students in Year 8 were studying the idea of sustainability which tied in perfectly with the Year 5 Market Day. There was even a little time for Year 8 students to reminisce about their time in the Primary School Playground. The purpose of this day was to sell goods that had been recycled from existing products.  The creativity of the Year 5 students was extortionary and we look forward to seeing their products next year.

A whooping $1014 was raised.

TEAR Read A Thon

October 12, 2018

Year 7 and 8 students cross campus raised $538.00 for the TEAR Read-a-thon. We were one of only two schools in WA to pilot this Readathon for TEAR Australia. Well done to all the students, staff and parents who were involved in this fundraising initiative. Mrs Legg and a few of our students were interviewed by TEAR to provide feedback. Thank you all for supporting this cause.

 

Year 8 TIMSS

October 11, 2018

A number of Year 8 classes have been selected to take part in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).  TIMSS is an important educational research project investigating student achievement in mathematics and science.  More than 60 countries, including Australia, are participating in this study.  TIMMS is used to keep us informed about how students in Australia are performing in comparison to their peers in other countries and to compare programs of study and teaching practices.  The school will be able to obtain current national and international information which will help improve the teaching and learning of mathematics and science in our country.

Selected students will do an assessment in Mathematics and Science and complete a questionnaire about their experiences at home and school.   There is no need for students to study specifically for the assessment as it will not affect individual students’ grades or progress in school. The students who are involved have been given an information brochure by their Mathematics teacher this week. Parents are welcome to call the school if they have any questions at all.

All data will be kept strictly confidential and no individual student or school will be identified in published data or reports.

ClassVR put to the test!

The Y8’s experienced a whole new reality when they experienced the VR sets for the first time! Check out their reactions when they were diving with sharks, riding the scariest roller coasters and even drove a F1 car when investigating their energies.

Enjoy the short videos!
