22.01.2022 ALIGHT AFTER DARK EXHIBITION The Alight After Dark Exhibition is the inaugural event of a collective of Canberra-born creatives who graduated from Narrabundah College in the late 80s. Event organiser Mags Stewart says: ‘This exhibition celebrates the artistic lives of fourteen people from the subcultures of Canberra of the 1980s. It explores how coming from that place and time has shaped us and who we are now.... Some are currently professionals in the visual arts and some have created privately for decades. The show incorporates works from landscape painting to crafted textiles to a post-apocalyptic vehicle and photographic and sculptural responses to last year’s fire season. In Australia, respect and support for the arts can often feel tenuous and conditional as the events of 2020 demonstrated so starkly. I want to illuminate the very necessary role creativity plays in everyone’s life, especially in challenging times such as now. The exhibition opening is 6-8pm Fri 19th Feb at Digital Content Studios in Queanbeyan (rsvp to [email protected]) and will be open to the public 12-4pm Saturday 20th and 10-1pm Sunday 21st. https://hercanberra.com.au//a-little-bit-of-80s-narrabund/

21.01.2022 FRENCH BACCALAURÉAT - GEOLOGY. 425 million years of Silurian history is exposed in the layers of State Circle's prehistoric rock. As we drive over Fairbairn Avenue bridge, we give little or no thought to the prehistoric marine fossils from 427 million years ago that are preserved right beneath our cars. Along with a walk around Geoscience's rock displays in Symonston our French Baccalauréat geology students experienced geological formations that were preserved long before the arrival of humanity on our planet. A most fascinating experience right here in inner Canberra.

02.01.2022 Hello all, As you are now aware the difficult, but, we believe the correct decision was made to bring forward exam week. All students should be negotiating new assessment dates with your teachers and one of the expectations is that these tasks be submitted after test week. All new due dates will be on google classroom and new unit outlines after discussions with classes this week. Online exams in most subjects are not appropriate. ... All students will only be tested on work completed by this Thursday and exams were due to start next Friday-so you are commencing 4 days earlier with a study day now included. TEST WEEK TIMETABLE: A reminder of the following: 1.All students are expected to sit their tests. Student with special consideration go to D02. For all other tests, we will be operating three to four testing centres to ensure social distancing. 2.If unwell for your test, call the College immediately. A Doctor’s Certificate is normally requested. In most cases you will be required to re-sit the test once you are well. 3.Do NOT sit exams if unwell as your test result will count. 4. If you miss the start of a test still come in. You may be able to still do the test if the main group has not finished. 5.Students may be expected to sit up to 3 exams in any one day. 6.If there is an exam clash, make arrangement with the teachers involved immediately. Any major problems see Jenny Budd. Posted 17 March 2020.
