25.01.2022 The decorating of Gingerbread Houses at Christmas originated in Germany during the 16th century. Each year at school the Year 10 German students create their own Gingerbread Houses. Here are the students decorating their gingerbread houses and trying to avoid getting covered in icing themselves! Some lollies actually made it to their houses. This activity is part of the Introduction to Fairy Tales topic - a topic that looks at the importance of the brothers Grimm in writing down many of the fairy tales we know and love today (Little Red Riding Hood/Rotkaeppchen, Haensel und Gretel etc) and the specific language used in such literary texts.

21.01.2022 'We've been away for so long': Cheers and fears as year 8 to 10 students return to class Aoife O'Connor has a lot of catching up to do this week. Not so much wi...th schoolwork she enjoyed the academic side of remote learning but with friends and even teachers she says she barely knows. "I haven't seen two of my teachers in person, like I haven't even met them properly, so I'm kind of excited about that," the year 8 student at Essendon's Buckley Park College said. Aoife's classmate, Adam Iozzi, admitted to being unnerved, but was happy to be back after such a long absence. As the school bell rang out for the first time on Monday, he said that even the act of walking from classroom to classroom between lessons would initially feel a bit weird. "I don’t know how to explain it. It's like, we've been away for so long, it's like a shift that I have to try to get used to it again," he said. Buckley Park College principal Harold Cheung expressed relief that all of his 995 students were back on site at last. "It's not as easy when you're remote and seeing each other on a screen, compared to seeing each other in person, those informal conversations where you can just catch up, that's the biggest thing that is missing during remote learning," he said. With just eight weeks of the school year to go, Mr Cheung said the school's biggest priority would be supporting students, both academically and emotionally, to launch into next year. "For these last few weeks the priority is making sure we know exactly where they are at in their learning and ensuring we can support the students who need that support, or extending the students who have performed well," he said. Levi Cara, a year 9 student at the school, said he managed to finish his work efficiently at home, but sometimes struggled to stay motivated. "I'm very excited to be back and glad online learning is over," Levi said. "Sometimes I found my motivation was a little bit low with it all. Not having a teacher there to really encourage me to really push myself was a little bit difficult." By Adam Carey October 26, 2020 12.39pm THE AGE

Every year at 11 am on 11 Novemberthe eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh monthwe pause to remember those men and women who have died or suffered in all wars, conflicts and peace operations. This year our School Principal, Harold Cheung will be reading the Ode. Below is a link to listen to the event online live. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

15.01.2022 THE Dental Team are HERE! The friendly dental team from Australian Dental Health Victoria, are here at Buckley Park College providing our students with a free, high quality annual dental health examination and free follow up treatment as needed. The program is for all students attending public primary, secondary or special schools in Victoria. Students with the consent of their parents, have booked in to see the Dentist in this portable Van here at school. Strangely enough, s...tudents are quite happy to leave class and head off for a dental check up and Dr Chris has commented on how good the children's teeth are. Due to an overwhelming response, the Dental Van will be here again next week so if you haven't had your appointment yet don't worry. Dr Chris has said that he wont be leaving until every child that has applied is seen - even if it takes longer than the end of next week.

12.01.2022 On World Teachers' Day, we recognise and celebrate the incredible contributions teachers have made in making a positive difference in our students learning jour...ney so they can reach their aspirations.

09.01.2022 HANNAH'S ON OUR OLYMPIC TEAM AGAIN! Australia has selected Hannah Cross our 2014 School Captain, who is one of eight-strong in the Artistic Swimming Squad competing in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. For Hannah this is her second Olympic Games having competed in the same event in Rio in 2016. Australia qualified for the Olympics at last year's World Aquatics Championships in Gwangju, where they finished above New Zealand to claim the place for Oceania.... "These are all athletes from a relatively small sport who have worked so hard and sacrificed a great deal to make it to Tokyo and represent Australia at the Olympic Games. "Their selection is not only a great personal achievement, but it will also inspire the next generation of artistic swimmers to pursue their goals towards Paris 2024, LA 2028 and hopefully Brisbane 2032. "To those off to their second Olympics, welcome back to the Australian Olympic team and to the four first-timers, congratulations and welcome aboard. Congratulations to Hannah and the Team for being selected and Good Luck!! To follow our Olympic Team click on the link: https://www.olympics.com.au/
