Three athletes were recognised as some of the best in the state at the recent WA State Athletics Championships! Congratulations to Hayden Windsor (Year 7) who achieved bronze in High Jump, Eloise Parsons (Year 9) who was awarded bronze in Pole Vault and Nicholas Holmes (Year 9) who took home a silver medal in the 2000m Steeplechase. Wow!
On Monday October 29 an information evening will be held for parents and students interested in being part of the Lou Morrison Kimberley Tour 2019. The tour is open to current Year 8 and 9 students. The event will be held in the Community Room, beginning at 6:45pm.
On the night you will find out about what happens on the trip, how to apply, what the cost will be and more. We would love to see you there and for you to join us next year!

Recently I had the fortune of taking four Year 9 boys for a Service Learning excursion to Joondalup Library where we helped seniors solve their iPad issues (with help from ECU volunteers). For me it was a lot of fun and very rewarding to be a part of.
I just wanted tto commend the boys on their efforts and how well they communicated with those needing help. The seniors I spoke to said the boys knew a lot, were informative, friendly and explained the instructions clearly – future teachers maybe?
Commendations to the boys who came, as they did a fabulous job:
Noah Franks
Ned Hollander
Craig Toner
Tom Sorrell

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.

Year 9 Edward Smith has just landed in Tokyo to take part in the Nippon Scout Jamboree, the largest Scouting event in Japan!
The Nippon Scout Jamboree held by the Scout Association of Japan, and is the largest event in Japan.
Jamborees are held once every four years.
Travelling as part of the Australian Contingent, the Warwick Scout is the only Western Australian representative and will be immersed in the Japanese culture for the next two weeks.
Safe travels, Edward!
In year 9 science we are exploring electricity, we have looked at static electricity and enjoyed learning about how the van der Graaf generator works. We have also started to learn about current electricity and how it flows through a circuit. Students are learning how to measure electricity and draw circuit diagrams.

Our students never cease to amaze us with their unique sporting skills!
Tahlia Papworth (Year 7) has placed second in the Open Women’s Canicross Competition, while her brother Jayden (Year 9) placed fifth in the Open Men’s Competition.
Canicross is a long-distance running sport requiring a little more skill than a typical cross country race, as each participant is harnessed to a running partner – a dog!
Congratulations to the dynamic duos.
Year 9 and 10 cross-campus students on the Lou Morrison Kimberley Tour spent time at Indigenous community schools, learning about the Indigenous culture and language, while running sport events and discos.
Below are a few snaps from the trip.
Some of Mr Kelly’s Year 9 students are participating in the ACT FOR PEACE- RATION CHALLENGE this week.
They have raised over $4500 thus far.

What an inspiring effort. Well done!
Below is a photo of the students receiving their ration packs. They are having a FEAST in Timae today to create more awareness.
