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.

Service Excursion Timae

July 17, 2018

A group of ten year 11 and 12 students went to Ronald McDonald House to participate in their ‘Lovin’ from the Oven’ experience. They made morning tea for the families staying in the house. These families have children who are sick in the new children’s hospital and Ronald McDonald House is very much their ‘home away from home’. The students were also given a tour of the facilities, including seeing inside the rooms which families can stay in, the teen hang out area and the roof top garden.

World Religions

May 18, 2018

Year 11 students  have been learning about World Religions. Recently, they were blessed with a visit from Mrs Tripdidas of Calcutta, India who spoke about Hinduism. Mrs Tripdidas was raised by the Loretto Sisters  (Irish Catholic Nuns) in the Convent and was taught Geography by Mother Theresa herself! She went on to teach Political Science and English. She gave a fascinating talk on Hinduism for our students.
