25.01.2022 In and around the school today: The K/P/Year 1 class were engaged in a variety of spelling activities. In groups, the Year 4/5/6 students were using quiz cards with either a name or description to test each other on their understanding of Digital Technology Vocabulary.... The Year 9/10 Specialised Physical Education students completed a fitness test. Two students managed to stand on one leg for 8 minutes which was quite a feat.

They have been lucky enough to participate in a variety of activities such as excavating dinosaur bones from the sandpit, melting fossilised dinosaur eggs and making dinosaur tracks with paint. If you have a student in the class why not ask them all about dinosaurs, we are sure you’ll be surprised by how much they know.

23.01.2022 Reminder Sick Children Please be aware that there are currently both flu-like illnesses and a gastro bug in our local community. It is important that children are kept home from school if they are suffering from these conditions to prevent the illnesses from spreading. Children need to remain at home for 24 hours after the diarrhoea or vomiting have ceased. More information on gastroenteritis from the Department of Health can be found on the Carnamah DHS website.

22.01.2022 The Year 9/10 Food class were fortunate enough to have Mr Tim Dixon, a qualified chef, in class last week. He demonstrated various preparation skills including shredding, paysanne, julienne, and brunoise. Students made delicious, healthy rice paper rolls and dipping sauce under his guidance. Yesterday Mr Dixon showed the Year 11 and 12 Food Science Technology students various ways to cut and bone whole chickens. Students began with half a raw chicken and ended up with kebabs, chicken lollypops, boneless breasts, drumsticks, parmigiana, bones for chicken stock, chicken pieces, and chicken wings. We would like to thank Mr Dixon for sharing his knowledge with our students.

The winners were the group that found and answered the most questions correctly. Great fun was had by all the students.
