23.01.2022 BIOLOGISTS IN THE MAKING To finish Biological Sciences, some of the Year 7 science students had the opportunity to work like a biologist. Students had to sort through an Owl pellet (which is a regurgitated ball of indigestible material like bones, hair and feathers) to find and identify different bones. This process provides information about the diet of owl’s as well as the species they prey on. Despite the smell the students really enjoyed the experience. Ms Kerimofski, Science Teacher

09.01.2022 YEAR 9 RIVER ROCK The Year 9s told me they have been waiting for years for a social event! We were very happy and lucky to be able to run the River Rock this year and it went off fantastically! Sure there were some behind the scenes, last minute difficulties, but we pulled together and sailed away at exactly the right time. We couldn’t have done it without the support of the teachers who volunteered their time and dance moves, and the support from our parents and carers wh...o got the students there - and collected them - on time. The evening went quickly, with some sightseeing to begin, dancing, eating pizza, dancing, eating donuts and more dancing. The feedback we have had was positive, with many requests to do it again! Thank you to the many people who made this happen to a group of students who really did deserve it. Mr Brownlie, Yr 9 Year Coordinator See more
