25.01.2022 Year 10 food technology students are learning about food service and catering. For their assessment tasks, students are working towards designing and producing a food truck food item which is innovative and new to world. In preparation, students in Miss Hamills class produced Fried Chicken Waffle Cones with Maple Bacon and Honey Mustard Sauce. The recipe had many preparation and cooking methods, but through collaboration and time management all groups were successful. Well done to our year 10 Foodies!

25.01.2022 Year 8 Religion, Catholic Studies students have been learning this term about the teachings of Jesus. Miss Toso’s class reflected on key themes of Jesus’ words and actions through art. Great work Year 8!

25.01.2022 Year 10 textiles are learning about the Textile Industry and how to reduce textile waste in the environment by "reusing, reducing & recycling" clothes. Students deconstructed a piece of denim and turned it into a wall-hanging that represented them. Check out these amazing sewing skills!

25.01.2022 SCIENCE WEEK! Earlier this year Clancy Scientists were set a mission from Clancy U to design a drone to solve a world issue. Students from 7-10 accepted this mission and designed a variety of drones from bush fire relief, coral bleaching warning systems, thermal drones for search and rescue, paramedic assistance and many more. On Tuesday they held a walk through for all of Clancy to come and see their designs. Their work was phenomenal and certainly showcases the calibre of our Clancy Science students. Winners of the junior and senior engineers award will be announced Friday. Show your support for all of our drone competitors by giving a thumbs up!

23.01.2022 On Thursday, we had 4 students from Year 8 and 9 compete in the MISA Chess Competition . This was an online competition run between most of the MISA Schools.

23.01.2022 Miss Jajos Year 7 Technology Mandatory class used lollies and biscuits to learn about the 5 distinct layers of soil for their Agriculture Unit. It was an educational yet tasty activity!

22.01.2022 The confinement from gravity, the limitations of expectations, the restraint of our minds. A universal motif for freedom is most notably the bird. My artwork, modelled after the South American Andean Condor, is in fragments. Although, at first glance, the work may suggest a fragmented freedom, my intention is the very opposite. Freedom is not a limitation if we set our minds to go beyond our restrictions, reflected by this imperfectly perfect bird. This sculpture is created by using a large amount of origami forms that I individually made, sculpted and later photographed Eden - Yr 11 Visual Arts

22.01.2022 The College Oval works are moving ahead quickly, and we are expecting to see the first sod turned in early December! Have a look at the latest artist impressions of our new state-of-the-art synthetic surfaced oval.

21.01.2022 Year 7 Technology classes have been learning about Aussie inventions and innovations, recently the box kite.

STEM in action - well done year 7!

20.01.2022 Congratulations to Jonathan in Year 8 on being awarded 2nd Place in the Science Teachers Association of New South Wales Innovations and Engineering Design 7-8 award! Jonathan coded a simple-to-use UV-A and UV-B exposure sensor for international usage. He went further to test the accuracy of his sensor’s UV measurements to best determine where his sensor should be worn should the prototype go to market. He determined the sensor is most accurate if worn on the head (placed on a hat).

11.01.2022 THANK YOU CLANCY! Brain Cancer is one of the most deadly cancers yet it is also one of the least understood and underfunded cancers.

We especially thank our Student Leadership Council who have dedicated their recess and lunch times to raising awareness and selling beanies to raise these much needed funds.
