In the final instalment of the Ramsey House Canterbury Mental Health Week Festival series, our Ramsey House student leaders set up an ice cream stall and toss-a-choc game station.
Students enjoyed the cooling treat (with a dusting of Ramsey Blue toppings) in this warm weather, and tried their hand at winning the huge variety of chocolate bars on offer.

Last Friday's Year 11 Senior Visual Art Stimulus Excursion | Logan Art Gallery, Queensland Art Gallery & Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA)
Last Friday's Year 11 Senior Visual Art Stimulus Excursion | Logan Art Gallery, Queensland Art Gallery & Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA)
This Term, our Year 11 Visual Arts students are undertaking Unit 3: Art As Knowledge as one of their subjects.
As part of their IA1 Investigation, students must be exposed to an authentic experience and a variety of stimuli.
So last Friday, our Year 11 Visual Art students visited the Logan Art Gallery, Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) to view the various exhibitions on display.
Our students first visited the local Logan Art Gallery to view the annual Artwaves exhibition.
This exhibition showcases works from talented high school students, and aims to demonstrate the wealth of imagination and creativity present in our Logan region.
Our students then travelled over to South Bank to visit the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), where they were able to view exhibitions that showcased contemporary and traditional works from Australian and international artists.
These exhibitions provided a perfect opportunity for our students to view the artworks in person, and hopefully inspire them as they prepare for the production of their own pieces.
