F-2 HPE

Our youngest students are developing the skill to recognise and manage their emotions. At the start of each lesson, they use the chart to identify their emotions.

They also practiced strategies they can use when they feel uncomfortable, unsafe or need help with a task, problem or situation. They wrote down and drew their trusted adults on paper.

Years 5-6 Maths

Our 5-6 students are learning about probability in Term 3. They combined the knowledge of fractions, decimals and percentages to deduce the probability. They are getting more fluent to converting ratios. They also learnt to use long division to convert fractions to decimals and vice versa. Our 5-6 students have made a great progress this term.

Years 7-10 Maths

Students learnt about algebra and measurement. In algebra, they learnt about linear relationships between variables. Our 9-10 students had also learnt about finding the gradient and midpoint between two different coordinates in a Cartesian Plane. In measurement, they learnt about Trigonometry this term. They used both Pythagorean Theorem and sine, cosine and tangent to find the missing sides and angles in triangles.

Years 7-10 Science

Our secondary school students have been learning about Earth Science. To promote the reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia, we learnt about the invaluable Ediacaran fossils in Nilpena. Students learnt about fossil formations and learnt to identify different types of fossils. We then went to Nilpena Ediacara National Park to see how life evolved since the Ediacaran Period. This excursion included many interactive activities to allow students see the ancient ecosystem in Flinders Ranges which is 600 million years old. Apart from knowing the significance of fossils in science, they also learnt about the geological heritage of the aboriginal culture.

After the excursion, students have a taste of becoming a paleontologist by creating fossils and digging them up.
