Group Communication in Psychology

August 22, 2018

Year 11 Psychology students are learning about group communication.  They were given a task as a group to create a mini golf course in a limited amount of time.  After the task students were asked to reflect how the group communicated during the task.  They looked at who spoke and for how long did they speak, when did they know to jump into the conversation and how long did the conversation last.  Students also looked at effective communication in small and large groups.

Keeping up with Year 9 in Science

August 17, 2018

Students in year 9 Science were challenged to build their own electromagnets and work out how to make the magnet stronger.  Students worked out that by adding more coils of copper wire to their iron nail their electromagnet became stronger and they could pick up more metal objects.  Students worked out the applications for electromagnets in industry.

Students used learnt new skills and prior knowledge to build a working motor using a copper coil and rare earth magnets.

Book Donations

August 9, 2018

 

You may be an avid reader, but the dusty pile of books in your room is starting to be a nuisance. You don’t have the heart to throw your old books away, but you don’t have much of a use for them anymore.

We need book donations to run another successful book stall at the fete.

Please bring any books you have outgrown or no longer need to Student Services or Primary Office.  If it is easier, bring them to the shed in the bottom car park.

Shed will be open every Tuesday from Aug 14, at approx. 7.45am – 8.45am.

THANK YOU!
