Towards the end of Term 2, our Year 9/10 Photography students headed into Launceston to capture the city's urban landscape through their lenses. From architecture and laneways to patterns, textures and different perspectives, students explored a range of techniques while developing their creative eye and photographic skills.

Take a look at some of the photographs our talented students captured during the day! 📸💙

That's a wrap on a great Term 2!

Over the past 10 weeks, our students have embraced a wide range of learning opportunities, from excursions, camps, sports carnivals and Year 10 college visits to hands-on learning, community projects, showcasing their musical talents and celebrating student success at our Mid-Year Celebration Assemblies. It has been fantastic to see our students challenge themselves, embrace new experiences and celebrate each other's successes.

This term, we have continued to explore our CARE values, with a particular focus on Connection and Acceptance, through initiatives such as our CARE Day, the return of our 1000 Hearts project and our Book Buddies program with local primary schools.

Thank you to the many families who connected with us through Parent-Teacher Meetings, information sessions and school events. Your partnership and support are greatly appreciated.

We wish everyone a safe, happy and restful holiday break and look forward to welcoming students back for a great Term 3! 💙

Our Year 8 English students have been exploring the 1996 film Matilda as part of their film study this term, investigating how directors use film techniques to portray characters as good or evil.

Before heading into the holiday break, students worked collaboratively in groups to create large-scale posters of the four main characters – Matilda, Miss Trunchbull, Mr Wormwood and Miss Honey. They carefully drew each character, paying close attention to clothing, colour and appearance, before surrounding their illustrations with words, quotes and evidence that captured each character's personality and traits, consolidating their understanding of characterisation.

The finished posters are incredibly impressive, with students creating almost life-sized representations of each character! Next term, they will build on this learning as they prepare for an in-class essay analysing how the director effectively uses film techniques to portray characters as good or evil.

Great work Year 8s! ✨

There was plenty of colour in the Art room today as 7B wrapped up their Art Option rotation with some tie-dye! 🌈🎨👕

Students experimented with a range of techniques to create their own unique T-shirts, with each design showcasing their creativity and individuality.

How cool do these designs look? Check out some of their fantastic creations below! 💙
