Year 7 - 12 Class
Term 2 Secondary Class Overview
What an incredibly busy and productive term of learning we have had, with a lot of fun along the way! Students have studied the novel titled Secret Sparrow by Jackie French for English; undertaken a local history research project on an historic building of interest, applying key historical concepts; as well as explored various employment options as part of Career Education.
Local History Excursions
With the aim of bringing local histories to life, students have been on a number of excursions including to the Hawker Cemetery; the Hawker Rodeo Exhibition; the Hawker Catholic and Uniting Churches; the Hawker Railway Station and this week will be visiting Kanyaka Homestead ruins. We would like to thank members of the community who gave up their time and helped to make these excursions informative and interesting, especially Janice McInnis, Catherine Burt and our very own Lisa O’Neill.
Visiting speakers and Career Roadshow Port Augusta
To connect learning to real life contexts as part of Career Education, the secondary class had visiting speakers present in the classroom including Emily Connolly, Andrew McInnis and Jarrod Smith. We would like to thank them for giving up their time to share valuable insights about their studies, qualifications and working lives. Another highlight was the Career Roadshow on the 28th of May, where students got the opportunity to interact with a range of industry representatives and partake in activities from various employment sectors. Hopefully the class enjoyed themselves as much as I have – Miss Hill.
