Our girlss GoIT
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 Osmen 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 Lonchampt and “The Mouse in a Suit” with an absolute value function for a jacket, by Riva Burkett. Well done girls!

Creative kids can now put a $100 voucher towards extra-curricular creative activities outside of school.
Together with Active Kids, this program aims to encourage more NSW children to participate in a range of extra-curricular activities such as coding, languages, circus, performing arts and visual arts.
Parents can apply for one $100 voucher for each child enrolled in school on the Creative Kids website and use it towards the cost of registration, participation or tuition. You just redeem the voucher with a registered provider in your area when making your payment.
This is a great opportunity for your child to become involved in a range of activities that will build on their education, growth and development.
