Our Year 7 Art students went to Perth Zoo too 🎨

While Year 7 Science explored classification, our artists were out among the animals sketching and starting paintings, working from life rather than a photo on a screen.

We're looking forward to seeing these pieces come together.

Year 7 Science took on Perth Zoo this week 🦁

Our students explored the Fantastic Beasts education experience, digging into how animals are classified by species, diet and conservation status, and why that classification matters for conservation work.

Thank you to our Science staff for organising the excursions and to Perth Zoo for hosting us.

Our hospitality students put their new commercial coffee machine to the test this week, and the verdict was a five star review! The two new ping pong tables have also been getting plenty of use at lunch.

Thank you to David Michael MLA for visiting and for supporting the upgrades. ☕🏓

Last week, our Year 9 students took part in an excursion to the Supreme Court of Western Australia as part of their Civics and Citizenship program.

Facilitated by educators from the Law Society of Western Australia, students toured the Supreme Court, sat in on a live trial and took part in a mock trial of their own. It was a hands-on look at how the law is applied in WA and a great way to bring the syllabus to life.

Thank you to the Law Society of Western Australia for hosting our students. ⚖️

Year 9 Gifted & Talented students have wrapped up their Narrative Tattoo Busts, and the results are something special.

Each student created a simplified bust form to represent themselves, then used sgraffito to etch line drawings into the surface. Every mark tells part of a personal story, from family and culture to the things they love most.

A wonderful example of how our GATE Visual Art students use technical skill to say something meaningful. 🎨

🎨 Our Year 9 Gifted & Talented Visual Arts students have been diving deep into their Artist Investigation task!

Students selected an artist of their choice and researched their contexts, practices, style and technique. They then presented their findings visually, replicating the artist's chosen medium, style and techniques in their own work.

Some fantastic creativity and research skills on display, well done to all involved!

National Science Week Recap! 🔬

Last Friday, we welcomed Year 5 students from five local primary schools to BSHS for a hands on science incursion.

Our students stepped up as science leaders, demonstrating experiments and sharing their scientific knowledge with our young visitors. It was a great chance for them to showcase their problem solving, creative thinking and confidence in front of an audience.

A huge well done to everyone involved in planning and running the day, and thank you to the primary schools who joined us. We loved having you at Balcatta!
