Year 9 Elective History - 'Anubis would happen!'

In Year 9 Elective History - students enjoy the academic rigour of the course, which has shown time and time again (excuse the pun!) to improve academic research and essay writing skills - in both Year 11 and 12 and University studies. But also, they enjoy the opportunity for creative and hands on learning! Mrs. Musico-Rullo's class have been learning about the Ancient Egyptian process of mummification - but things may have gotten out of hand...

Year 11 Geography: Fieldwork around the College!

Our Year 11 Geography class are studying Biophysical Interactions, learning how the four spheres interact to create environments. The practical component of Geography involves completing primary research to test aims and hypotheses formulated after conducting secondary research.

Our Geography girls are investigating the formation of microclimates and so conducted fieldwork to determine the variety of microclimates experienced within St Patrick’s College. They used anemometers and thermometers at a variety of locations and made observations and conclusions as to what caused the microclimate to develop. Great work Mrs. Wilson and the Senior Geography girls for their commitment to physical Geography!
