24.01.2022 This semester our year 9/10 Dance classes were lucky enough to have 2 teachers from Bom Funk Dance Studio teach us a musical theatre mashup routine with different musicals - Singing in the Rain, High School Musical, Anastasia and Hamilton. We would like to express a big thank you to Jamiee and Shekiralea for working with us for this workshop. I think this helped both dance classes come closer together and build on our teamwork and consideration for one another. Thank you also to Mrs Hoolihan for creating such a wonderful opportunity for our students!

15.01.2022 In Week 5 in Outdoor Education, we went mountain biking from school to Isaacs Ridge. Being outdoors is not only good for your physical health but your mental health as well. It can be a positive distraction from everyday stresses. Fresh air gives you more energy and natural sunlight gives you vitamin D and is relaxing. You are able to focus on whats around you and learn about different things outdoors. Being in nature helps with your eyesight as you can see things close up and from a distance. You can focus on your breathing and heart rate which can also help improve your mental and physical health. (Written By Keira Mitchell, Yr 10)
