25.01.2022 FISHING OUT THE RUBBISH Our Year 12 Outdoor Recreation students were at Pyramids Fishing Rocks this morning cleaning up rubbish which had accumulated since the long weekend. Teacher, Miss McCarthy, explained our students were eager to contribute to the brilliant job that the Coastal Waste Warriors do for our area.

25.01.2022 ZIPPING INTO MATHEMATICS EXTENSION Mrs Burgess Year 10 students studying Trigonometry were eager to share their Investigation Assessment videos with us from what they refer to as their favourite class of all time. Leila, Sarah, Jacquie and Eve explained they had been in HHC Maths Academic Extension class since year 7 and 8 and have really enjoyed how our college engages student learning with interesting, interactive classes.... The Investigation Assessment was to design a zip-line and factor in the weight of the rider, measure the distance, height and cable length to find the angle of depression. Mrs Burgess was thrilled to see all the point-of-view videos which her students had created to submit their Assessment presentation.

23.01.2022 DRESSING FOR THE OCCASION Today is International Literacy Day and we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to flashback throughout this term when we have celebrated (National) HASS, Science, Literacy and Numeracy Weeks. Our teachers and staff have dressed up on these occasions and have proudly showcased each of their departments. For HASS week, teachers were encouraged to come dressed as someone from our history who inspires us, so, the entire Phys-Ed Team came dressed... as Mr Taylor. This was a special tip-of-the-hat to one of our respected, historical figures at HHC who was also an inaugural staff member when the College opened in 2001.

22.01.2022 SPRINGING INTO MARINE We found our Year 11 Marine Science students at Novara Foreshore early this morning. Students took the opportunity to delve into the stirred up estuary water, after the recent swells, to collect a variety of marine life samples. These samples will now be added to their marine tank in the College grounds for future analysis. It was a great Spring morning for our students to get out into the sun after a cold Winter in hibernation.

15.01.2022 IN THIS TOGETHER Reconciliation Week (27 May 3 June) Halls Head College students recognised both Reconciliation Week and National Day of Healing by holding a special morning tea to honour our local Elder, Koodah.... Koodahs role at HHC as our Cultural Advisor prioritises the wellbeing of each and every student. Koodah is passionate in his message to have karla (fire) burning in our hearts and is often found in the Cultural Centre or in the Munda Boodja Block taking a quiet moment to listen or have a yarn with students, who gravitate toward his wise soul for advice. Koodahs personal Stolen Generation experience was the catalyst behind honouring him today and he explained emotionally that it was great to see the coming together of cross-cultures to share in these experiences. Our Follow The Dream, Art and Advocacy class students chose to decorate the Performing Arts Centre in purple native hibiscus flowers. Purple denotes compassion and spiritual healing and hibiscus because it is found widely across Australia and it is a survivor. Our Big Picture Academy students catered for the morning tea using native recipes for lemon mertyl cupcakes, damper and quandong jam.

Students participated in a banquet with the King and Queen, a theatre performance, a virtual tour of a castle, made necklaces at a craft stall, had calligraphy lessons, learnt about medieval myths and legends, participated in medieval games and joined in with a round of archery. Mrs McWhinnie’s science lab was converted into a broiling, bubbling witch’s cauldron, where students learnt about dissecting brains, extracting an eye lens for medieval medicinal purposes and additionally, each student was given a disease to diagnose for their lesson. Students were also lucky enough to have two (real) Knights come to visit during their Banquet. Our Knights interacted with each class and demonstrated the armour of Medieval times. Our teachers all put in a fantastic effort to dress up and set the theme throughout the day and a special thank you to over fifty student helpers from other year groups who assisted with music and production.
