A Message from the Director - Jennifer Wright

In Week 3 of this term, the Year 10 Engineering class performed their first rocket launch as part of this semester’s unit: “It Is Rocket Science.”  With the assistance of members of the Canberra Rocketry Group (Nev Blyth, Dr Tony Buckmaster, John Davies and Mark Bottomley) and kind permission from Dr Buckmaster to use his Yass property, the engineers launched 14 model rockets. Each rocket carried a payload of a small altimeter that allowed us to collect flight telemetry. 

We would like to thank all our students and staff for supporting the St Vincent De Paul “Fiver for a Farmer” NSW drought appeal on Tuesday  21 August with an overwhelming $2270 raised!! (https://www.vinnies.org.au/donate#!state=nsw&appeal=159

Fantastic result!

Thank you to all the students and staff who supported Book Week last week. All week the library has been a hive of activity with scavenger hunts, book quizzes, celebrity heads and of course our very positive Book Week Parade on Wednesday. It was a huge success with great characterisation and costumes, and lots of fun had by all. Congratulations to all winners; the photo above is of the most creative group: Alice in Wonderland from Year 8.
