24.01.2022 ROBOTICS || Year 4 have entered the world of robotics and they are loving it! Last week the students put their coding knowledge to the test to modify a robotic Sphero and applied their design skills to create a Lego character. These were tested for a 2 metres duration, all before entering The Hall of Dreams or Nightmares racetrack where students had to navigate obstacles and each other as they applied their digital skills to practical challenges. Next time, students will begin writing their own robot code and they can’t wait! #STEM #Year4 #BishopTyrrell #robotics #creativity #deeplearning #learningisfun #coding #science #seizetheday

23.01.2022 MATHS II Stuart Palmer is described as the 'all things NSW Mathematics go-to person.' He has a wealth of knowledge and has been working in maths education for over 25 years. He knows all the 'ins and outs' of the HSC examinations and was able to provide our Year 12 Standard Mathematics students plenty of tips for their HSC study and success. #BishopTyrrell #Study #Success #Mathematics #proudofstudents #year12 #youhavegotthis

23.01.2022 CRAZY HAT WEEK || It is crazy hat week in Preschool and our families have been busy putting their creativity to the test in preparation. We saw pom-poms, crazy eyes, streamers, ribbons, unicorns, feathers and patty pans. There was certainly saw a sense of pride as the children paraded their special hats in front of their friends. We just love watching our preschool students come to life as they dream, hope, and use their imaginations to pretend to be someone or something extraordinary that reflects their personality and interests. #BishopTyrrell #Seizetheday #Preschool #Creative #Littledreamers #Crazyhats

21.01.2022 DEEP LEARNING || It is our last week of Term 3 Deep Learning projects and we are all reflecting on the incredible journey that has taken place throughout the Term. Helping the Homeless was a common theme through this Global Citizens Service Project. Year 6 students are busy baking slices that we will deliver to the @soulcafenewcastle over the weekend. And our Secondary students will be supplying masks for those living in need during a worldwide pandemic. Year 4 focused their work towards kindness and have created the most amazing brail books for the blind. Congratulations to all of our students on the completion of this Deep Learning project. It has been wonderful to see so much passion and determination running through the College every Friday afternoon. #BishopTyrrell #helpingthehomeless #Kindess #deeplearning #globalcitizens #learning

21.01.2022 STEM || Dash ball launchers! Our Year 2 students have closed their STEM unit for the term by programming their robots to launch balls into boxes.

19.01.2022 YEAR 12 || It is our second last week with our impressive Year 12 cohort and we are proud of all they have achieved this year.

Our little global citizens have done us very proud, they know they can personally make a difference in the world by practising kindness and compassion. As a cohort, they have reached out to our community, asking for your support in their quest to make a difference in the lives of those living in need.

17.01.2022 ROCKET LAUNCH || The recent success of the SpaceX launch has generated great excitement in our classrooms around space exploration. So, what is fundamental to a successful rocket launch? As part of National Science Week, our students had the opportunity to become involved in building, designing and launching their own rockets. We quickly learnt that atmospheric conditions, as well as build specifications, play a large role in the success of a launch. We think our students were incredible in designing and executing their very own rocket launches! #Nationalscienceweek #science #BishopTyrrell #Rocketlaunch

17.01.2022 SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS || NATIONAL SCIENCE WEEK Our Preschool students were most excited about all the experiments they were able to conduct during National Science Week. A favourite was the milk experiment. Milk was poured into a tray, some drops of food colouring and then our little scientists used a cotton bud dipped in dishwashing liquid to create a chemical reaction. Have you tried this experiment at home? So good to see our little scientists discover and delight. Our preschool team support our preschoolers so they are active contributors, keen to explore, to share, to take risks, be challenged, discover and learn. #BishopTyrrell #NationalScienceWeek2020 #exploring #discovery #delightinlearning #preschool #curious #engagewiththeworld

12.01.2022 Today is International Students' Day. A day created by the UN to bring focus to ensure education is available to all regardless of beliefs or circumstances. On the 17 November in 1939 during World War II, events unfolded in Prague, resulting in nine university students being executed. Throughout history, there have been many advocates for the education of all, and still today, education remains an inaccessible right for millions of children around the world. On International ...Students' Day we wish to celebrate Bishop Tyrrell students, each day we see them seizing the opportunities that they have. We celebrate multiculturalism and appreciate the international diversity students bring to our College community and the wider community. Our students have a global perspective, commitment to social equity, empathy and compassion. They are problem solvers who will change the world. #BishopTyrrell #Seizetheopportunity #Changemakers #Educationisagift #Educationisaright See more

10.01.2022 VISUAL ARTS || Art is not about making the perfect artwork, but rather, it is a representation of a students’ imagination and thinking. Our Year 7 Visual Arts students have been busy collaborating on an incredible installation that explores architecture, culture and urbanisation. Their installation investigates the medium of cardboard to make large scale sculptures which provoke thoughtful conversations about migration and reflect how our students interpret their world. Congratulations Year 7, this artwork is a remarkable display! #BishopTyrrell #Seizetheday #Collaboration #Art #Youngartists #Creative

10.01.2022 GAMES WEEK || Our Preschool students loved engaging in games last week promoting their physical and social development. Their positive attitudes and creativity in full swing as they navigated marble runs, basketball, balloon and bat activities, hoop targets and the elastic band jumps. A clear favourite was using balance and coordination to complete a ninja park challenge! It was wonderful to see our little adventurers so enthusiastic to learn, explore and support each other through these games. #BishopTyrrell #Preschool #Collaboration #Creativity #Learning #Play #Fun

03.01.2022 Valedictory Celebrations #Classof2020 #BishopTyrrell #seizetheday #proudofyou

03.01.2022 This week we welcomed our Year 7 2021 students to experience a 'taste' of high school. There was great anticipation and excitement felt throughout the day, as the Year 7 2021 students enjoyed meeting new friends, high school teachers and experienced activities in a few different subjects. Our senior leaders organised some fun activities where students got to know each other in their house groups. House spirit and friendly rivalry as already begun! Our House system strengthen...s peer relations and a sense of belonging beyond specific year groups. Our 2021 students investigated and experimented in the Science labs, made pizza in Food Technology and enjoyed a 'treasure' hunt in geography to familiarise themselves with the secondary campus. We so look forward to welcoming them back again next week for the second day of their orientation program. The transition from Year 6 to Year 7 can be daunting, so we were thrilled to see how excited and comfortable our 2021 cohort were. As the year starts to wind down, we are energised by the possibilities that 2021 will bring our students. If you know someone who is considering joining our Bishop Tyrrell community next year, please encourage them to contact our College Registrar, Mrs Barb Durie, 4979 8484 or [email protected]. We would love to have them experience a 'day at Bishop Tyrrell'. See more

01.01.2022 Students took part in The Big Watermelon Experiment for National Science Week. This is a collaborative science experiment involving over 300 schools to test how many rubber bands it takes to implode watermelons of varying sizes. After measuring the weight and circumference of each melon, the groups counted the number of rubber bands it took to break the rind. We will send off our results and then analyse the trends using the collective data from the other schools next week. ...In case you’re curious- It took 153 rubber bands for the watermelon to implode. #BishopTyrrell #Scienceweek2020 #learningisfun #watermelonexperiment #DeepLearning #curiosity #buddingscientists #Collaboration #Seniorschool See more
