It was great to visit the 'All My Own Work' sessions with Year 10 students this week and see them working through a course to assist them in meeting the guidelines for assessment in Stage 6.
I was extremely pleased with the way our students took on board the tips and suggestions from experienced staff and how they contributed their own ideas in such a positive way. It is always exciting to see Year 10 students start to capture the vision for their final 2 years at the College and then the pathway beyond!
The College has been busy getting the time capsule ready which will be buried next week.
Our Extreme History students discussed ideas about what they thought should be included in the time capsule. Some of the items they decided on included:
- A koala and a fire truck, as a representation of the bush fires that Australia endured earlier this year
- A current collection of coins
- A hand sanitiser bottle and face mask, as symbols of 2020 and the COVID pandemic
- A mobile phone
- An assortment of images that represent the various events that took place in 2020, such as virtual sporting matches and concerts.
As history students, they understand how important it is to capture these memories for the students who will open this time capsule in 20 years.
You will be able to see more of what is in our time capsule at our Celebration nights, which will showcase all of our students adding in their memories!
