Last Friday in Week 9, our Year Five students presented their “Passion Projects” to members of staff, fellow students, parents and other members of the College community. A Passion Project is chosen by each student, based on a topic of interest, and completed at home over a number of weeks. It presents an opportunity to explore and learn something new – perhaps creating a physical object, learning a new skill or designing something original. It was exciting to see the wide range of talents and interests on display this year.
Students began formulating ideas and plans at the beginning of the term and spent many hours at home creating, adapting and refining. Not everything went according to plan, but many challenges were faced and overcome along the journey.
The Year Five staff would like to thank all the parents, friends and family members that have supported, encouraged and guided the children during this process. We trust that you enjoyed seeing your children learning through this experience. And finally, congratulations to all our amazing Year Five students! We hope that you found the project worthwhile and that you will continue to develop your newfound passions in the future.
