Our Year 9 students have been investigating how sound travels by creating their own cup telephones. Students explored how vibrations from their voices travel through the cup, along the stretched string, and into the second cup to create sound waves we can hear.
A fun hands-on activity bringing the physics of sound to life!
🍓🍉 Year 7 Food & Fibre 🍍🍎
Our Year 7 Food & Fibre students enjoyed their first practical cooking lesson, learning essential knife safety and food preparation skills.
They practised slicing, dicing and chopping a variety of fresh fruits before creating their own colourful and creative fruit salads. It was wonderful to see their confidence, creativity and teamwork shine as they prepared healthy, delicious dishes.
A fantastic start to their Food & Fibre journey—well done, Year 7! 👏🍓🍇

🥦🌱 From Paddock to Plate! 🌱🥦
Our Year 11 & 12 Food Science students are exploring the food processing system by learning about the journey of food from paddock to plate.
We are thrilled to see our broccoli flourishing in our garden! Students enjoyed the fresh produce and transforming it into delicious broccoli tots and broccoli bites. Next week, our Year 9 Food & Fibre students will continue the paddock-to-plate journey by making broccoli fritters using our home-grown broccoli.
A huge thank you to our dedicated gardeners for growing healthy, organic produce for our students. Your hard work provides wonderful opportunities for hands-on learning and encourages healthy eating.

Well girls, what did you make. They look good.

📢 Reminder: Emergency Alert Test – Monday 27 July
An emergency alert test will occur at 12.00 pm on Monday, 27 July - approximately 10 minutes before the end of Period 3.
📱 The emergency warning system makes a loud, siren-like alert tone that lasts about 10 seconds. Unlike a standard text message, it emits a high-volume warning sound and vibrates simultaneously.
To avoid disruption or distress, mobile phones can be switched off completely and remain off for at least one hour after the test. Please note that Aeroplane Mode may not prevent messages or alerts from being received, so phones should be powered off rather than placed in Aeroplane Mode if you wish to avoid receiving the emergency alert message.
