GRADE 7 PHOTOGRAPHY

Students in Grade 7 Photography elective classes have started a new unit on Abstract Urban Photography.  Classes have had the chance to explore the school grounds and photograph the Campus in a new way.  Aiming at capturing images of St Aloysius archiecture that explore angles, light and shadow and interesting details.

GRADE 8 SCIENCE

Grade 8 students have been looking at the geology of the Earth this term.  In this activity, students were able to used crushed minerals to make tempera paints.  Students were able to investigate and discuss how the different ratios of pigments and binder affected the quality of paint produced.

GRADE 9/10 EXTENDED SCIENCE

Students have continued their investiation into Newton's Laws of Motion.  Students investigated 'that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction' by creating balloon rockets and measuring their distance and speed.

HIIT FITNESS 

On Friday, 24th July the Grade 7 HIIT Fitness class tackled the Ninja Warrior course at Eastside Activity Centre.  The obstacles were indeed a challenge and left students with a feeling of accomplishment.  The inverted wall, the swinging hoops, chimney shuffle and swinging ropes were favourites.  This was a great prelude to the mud run later in the year.

On Monday, 27th July Grade 8 students attended F45 in Liverpool Street to put their strength to the test.  Students engaged in a cardio workout that involved all parts of the body.  This interval training was completed to a very high standard by our students and they certainly earned their recess!

NEW SAFER ACCESS

During the holidays work took place to create a safer access for students accessing the campus from Guardian Place, Huntingfield.  A footpath was created for students entering and exiting the College below the Grade 5/6 playground.

A reminder to students if they need to cross Nautilus Grove they are to utilise the pedestrian crossing by the entry driveway.

WOODWORK

Students in Grade 5/6 are creating their own money box.  They first came up with a design and then used tools including a vice and a coping saw to make their creations. We can't wait to see the finished products.
