Clothing Drive

A huge thank you to all students and families who have donated to the Yr 9 Service Initiative, Salvation Army Clothing Drive. Students have just reached their goal to fill four bins of clothing and the reward of a mufti-day next week will go ahead! 

Students may wear mufti as outlined in the Student Planner in exchange for contributing an article of clothing or a gold coin donation to the Salvation Army at the front or back gate upon entry to school on Wednesday 24 February. 

Yr 9 students will be collecting donations upon entry that morning and thanking everyone for their efforts in making this clothing drive a success.

Visual Arts Yr 8 Self-Portraits

An exhibition of self-portraits by Visual Arts students of Yr 8 2020 has just been hung in the Gallery Space on Level 1 of the Learning Hub. These paintings were completed at the very end of Term 4 and were not part of the annual Visual Arts Exhibition held in Term 3 of 2020. The exhibition will be up for the next few weeks.

Students started this project with shading and understanding the changes in colour as light hits a face. These fully completed self-portraits are beautifully completed and it just draws you in to explore each one and guess the artist.  Well done to all students who produced such a piece of artwork.
