From STEM to STEAM
Year 8 students have been learning to graph lines and non-linear relationships this year. Students in 8M1 had a STEAM Art Competition where they had to create a piece of art by inputting equations, regions, and restricting domain and range on the online graphing program DESMOS. The winning submission by Emma was created using 200 circles with different radii translated around the number plane to form “The Face”. Tied in second place was “The Butterfly” with parabolic wings by Lili and “The Mouse in a Suit” with an absolute value function for a jacket, by Riva. Well done girls!

Crossroads
Last term year 11 participated in a cross roads program with the aim of developing and enhancing our knowledge regarding health issues, safety, and wellbeing amongst young people. On the first day, we travelled by bus to a go karting facility in Minto. We were divided into groups of 13 and sent to complete four separate activities relating to safe driving practice. A very popular activity amongst the group was the go karting in which we were able to race around a fast track in our own vehicle. Those on their L’s were keen to test their driving skills in a high-performance kart on the track. For the rest of the day we went into a purpose facility which enabled us to experience over steer in the car – also known as drifting.

Livability presentations
At the end of Term 3 Year 7 students, Ari Wilson, Maya Haggstrom, Nick Annas and Macy Gordon-Heywood presented their Liveability Assessment Task to Deputy Mayor of Waverley, Dominic Wy Kanak and Waverley Councillor, Paula Masselos. The purpose of the task was to develop a project that would increase the liveability of their suburb. The presenters proposed ideas including light projects, monthly magazines and interactive sculpture exhibitions. The event concluded with Mr Wy Kanak and Ms Masselos directing praise towards the presenters. They stated that they were impressed that children of their young age had such a great grasp of the world going on around them. They were also impressed that the students considered factors such as the homeless community and the environment.

Exploring social disparity in our city
On Friday class 10 GeoA set off to Kings Cross as a part of our Human Wellbeing and Spatial Variation unit. Going on this excursion has allowed my class to understand the implications of providing understanding and love, not to mention basic hygiene services to individuals. Necessities that we are given daily and take for granted were shown to have revolutionised peoples’ lives, taking them from living on the streets with no hope, to becoming motivated and appreciated individuals.
