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.

A creative group of Year 8 students have taken out a top prize in the Kompetisi Klip-2, a video competition presented by the Westralian Indonesian Language Teacher’s Association! Open to schools throughout Western Australia, the group took out first place in the Year 7/8 ‘Bersandiwara’ (Play) category for their inventive ‘Indo Mie’ advertisement.
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.
