It has been a busy start to Term in English. Well done to our students who have recently completed their OLNA reading and writing tests. We wish you the best of luck with your results.
Our Year 12 General students have recently sat their Externally Set Task, and our ATAR students are beginning the preparation for their Semester One exams.
In Year 8 students have been writing stories about everyday heroes in their life. This story was written by Mia Warwick in Mrs Fitoussi’s AE class. It celebrates our wonderful school chaplain Desi, who we are so lucky to have.
Our school is taking part in the Premier’s Reading Challenge this year. We have 29 students from Year 7 to 10 participating and already registered for the challenge. Isabella McCullock and Armani Smith from Year 8 have logged 31 books each. If you still wish to register and participate visit the library or ask your English teacher how you can get involved.
In Year 9, students have been learning about famous protests. In Mrs Fitoussi’s class the students were asked to read a biography of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement as part of their speech and persuasive/protest unit. They then used multimodality to capture their personality and achievements. This project was completed by Liam Hulcup who represented Martin Luther King Juniors personality through an Instagram page.
