Our Year 7 students are near to finalising their Connect 'Our Place' projects and are learning wonderful things about the suburbs they live in and why and how they are such liveable places. More importantly, they are learning important 21st century skills like collaboration, innovation and teamwork skills.

In Year 8 History, our students were privileged to meet our College Archivist, Mrs Jo Cavillan who has a long and distinguished connection to the College. In sessions, students visited Jo and were lucky enough to hear from her about her important role in the College and how the archives operate. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learned so much about their shared heritage and connections to the sisterhood of students past, present and future.

Year 9 Geography students have been investigating one country and how food production has been affected by one particular factor. The girls have enjoyed learning about the implications of this challenge to food security and this study has made them knowledgeable citizens with an eye for strategies for the future.

Year 10 History have started their next unit: The Holocaust and look forward to their visit in late April to the Sydney Jewish Museum, Darlinghurst. Here they will research the experiences of children during this terrible historical period and will be lucky enough to meet survivors who will give them first-hand testimony as to what happened. 

Year 11 and 12 students are heavily involved in their assessment programs and busily organising study notes. A reminder to parents/carers that additional support is available for all students around assessment tasks and study skills via the ASAP program and also HSIE help runs on Thursday and Friday lunchtimes in H24.
