Today in Year 11 and 12 Science in Practice, students engaged in a hands-on practical exploring how the combustion triangle can be applied to fire safety. Using this knowledge, students tested a range of fire safety tools, including fire blankets and fire extinguishers, to better understand how fires can be controlled and extinguished.
A big thank you to DFES Katanning Fire and Rescue Service and Mr Aron Burnett for their support and expertise in bringing real-world context to our learning.

The Year 7 Textile class has begun their sewing journey this term by weaving felt bags (or hats) and learning how to sew on a button 🧵✂️
It’s great to see the students showing such a positive attitude and perseverance as they develop new skills and confidence in the sewing room. We’re excited to see what they create next!
