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”.

Help for families preparing for return to school
The NSW Department of Education is working to support school communities affected by the summer bushfires to ensure a return to school as normal as possible for as many students as possible.
We encourage students and families who have been affected directly and indirectly to seek practical help through government and non-government agencies such as the NSW government’s Office of Emergency Management. The department also provides advice to assist parents, teachers and students.
The Office of Emergency Management has a list of bushfire recovery assistance contacts including emergency accommodation, animal welfare, recovery allowances and payments, farm and business assistance, legal assistance, water assistance, and counselling.
Affected staff can seek support through the Department’s Employee Assistance Program during the holiday and in term time, and counselling will be available for students and staff through their school once term begins.
The assessment of school buildings and facilities affected by the fires was started by officers of
