25.01.2022 The Year 9 students had a wonderful experience visiting Blackbutt Reserve in Newcastle and Speers Point Park yesterday. Exploring the wildlife exhibits and nature walks at Blackbutt Reserve allowed our students to get out and about, and we enjoyed seeing animals like wombats, wallabies, turtles, peacocks, emus and koalas. It was a great morning! We ended our day with lunch at Speers Point Park, Lake Macquarie. The playground provided our students with a chance to have some fun and get active.

For those who love to get creative, we supplied a range of paints and canvases, with the students creating some wonderful pieces.... We had a great BBQ, cooked by some of our amazing young people, and even enjoyed a swim!

13.01.2022 The Year 11 Modern History students visited the Newcastle Memorial Walk last week. The Anzac walk was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli in 1915 and the commencement of steel making in Newcastle; it acts as a magnificent memorial to the men and women of the Hunter who served their community and their country. The class enjoyed the spectacular scenery and also visited Honeysuckle to have lunch.

The Year 9 & 10 students have had a ball with our programmable robots, CUE and Sphero. Blending coding with science, music, play and creativity has been amazing for the two classes.... These robots change the way our students create, plan and learn. We have such a great time with them.

In addition, the Year 9 students had fantastic discussions about how to talk to loved ones about how they are, and how to have productive conversations.

08.01.2022 As part of the Year 9 Science unit Global Systems the students visited Grace Springs Farm yesterday.

We always have such a wonderful time at the farm and learn so much about sustainable living and our eco system.

05.01.2022 As a part of the Year 10 English course, the students are investigating graphic representations, visual literacy and the idea that "a picture tells 1000 words".

We would like to thank these wonderful organisations for accommodating our students.

04.01.2022 Today Year 9 explored local art displays at the Gosford Regional Gallery and The Red Tree Theatre. The Edawonga Japanese Gardens were also a hit, feeding the Coi fish and ducks.

01.01.2022 This week TLK Youth College has celebrated NAIDOC Week, which runs from 8-15 November 2020. Always Was, Always Will Be is the theme this year and acknowledges that hundreds of Nations and our cultures covered this continent. All were managing the land - the biggest estate on earth - to sustainably provide for their future. The Year 9 and 10 students viewed the Australian films In My Blood It Runs and Top End Wedding throughout the week. The students were able to look at theme...s like education in Australia and intercultural marriage, which brought on much discussion! Year 10 students have also been analysing and investigating Australian Indigenous literacy and they researched inequality within the Australian Aboriginal community. It was also fantastic for our students to visit the Gosford Regional Art Gallery this week and view the Aboriginal artworks.
