Barbagello Raceway Visit
May 8, 2017
On Friday 05/05/2017 the year 11 and 12 Automotive Engineering and Technology student visited Barbagello Raceway to watch the Supercars and other classifications practice for Sunday’s racing. It was a wonderful opportunity for the students to see behind the scenes of the requirements to race on the day.
Aside from the Supercars, the class favorites were the stadium trucks and the drift cars. The drivers and the Club Presidents were very generous with time for the students, which was greatly appreciated.
Another highlight was the availability of pit lane, where the public can visit and see how much work goes into the setting up of the cars. This is closed on the Saturday and Sunday.
A big thanks to Russell Sewell, who made the day possible, which has inspired the students.

Update from Abrolhos
May 5, 2017The group made it back to Geraldton yesterday evening after what was one of the most amazing days their Skipper had ever had on the islands and he’s been working there his whole life!
The weather has been absolutely perfect and they were spoilt with the variety of incredible encounters – seals, dolphins, whales to name a few!
Yesterday’s incredible sunset from Rat Island.
The group were surrounded by a pod of what must have been hundreds of false killer whales on the journey between islands this afternoon.
All students are now safe and sound back on dry land!
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
