Archaeological skills in Year 8 History

April 5, 2017

This week students used their archaeological skills in Yr 8 History. They determined which ‘poo’ belonged to which historical figure. They did this by identifying the extra ‘items’ that had not been digested.

Students said:

‘I think looking and touching poo to see who it might be from was an awesome activity and I would love to see more like it. – Joshua Silverlock

‘The H.A.S.S. Lesson where we investigated what fake poo belong to who was VERY FUN :)’ –  Lachlan Harrold

‘I found yesterday’s lesson really interesting, really fun and a bit gross’.  – Liam Mascok

“Archaeology holds all the keys to understanding who we are and where we come from.” –  Sarah Parcak

St Stephen’s Libraries – The Heart of 21st Centry Learning

March 30, 2017

The school library is integral to the teaching and learning process.

The library facilitates the work of the classroom teacher and ensures each student has equitable access to resources.

While the role of the school library remains constant, its design, digital platform, strategies and tools change as pedagogy and technology changes.

Our thriving school libraries provide a social space to meet, collaborate, research, learn, share and relax.

 

“The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.”  – Albert Einstein

Trigonometry around St Stephens

March 30, 2017

A group of Yr 9 students spent their Maths lesson last week deciding if Carana, Timae and Alethea were all the same height.

They used clinometers, measuring tapes and Trigonometry to take measurements and make the calculations to come to a conclusion.

They thoroughly enjoyed applying their mathematics to everyday problems and using new equipment.

Commercial Design

March 28, 2017

The Year 9’s from Commercial Design recently went on an excursion to Paper Bird in Fremantle to meet with Illustrator Samantha Hughes.

Samantha Hughes writes and illustrates in a sunny studio in Fremantle with two naughty cats.

She works mainly in gouache, relishing the richness of colour and fine detail it allows.

Her work has appeared in books, on posters, in exhibitions and even on shoes.

Samantha worked with the students to help develop their ideas, skills and techniques for their Book Week poster design project.

 

The student’s were truly inspired.

“There is no line between fine art and illustration; there is no high or low art; there is only art, and it comes in many forms.” – James Gurney
