Year 9 Science On The GO! Incursion
Year 9 Science On The GO! Incursion
FILMED UNDER STRICT SAFETY CONDITIONS
Yesterday, our Year 9 students participated in a dynamic science incursion led by Mr. Sidney Hooker from Griffith University as part of the 'Science on the GO!' program.
This initiative engaged students in a series of visual and practical experiments, preparing them for their upcoming assessments.
In these assessments, they will present smaller, and less startling scientific experiments to our Junior School students.
The enthusiasm and positive reactions from our Year 9 students highlight the captivating nature of science as a subject.

Senior Japanese Excursion | Recap & Photos
Senior Japanese Excursion | Recap & Photos

Last Friday, our Years 11 and 12 Japanese classes enjoyed a highly educational Senior Japanese Excursion.
We started by visiting the Consulate-General of Japan in Brisbane City, where we learned about future pathways, exchange programs and scholarship opportunities.
It was inspiring to discover the endless possibilities of mastering the Japanese language.
Next, we explored Genki Mart, a Japanese supermarket filled with authentic products and cultural treasures.
From snacks and drinks to unique ingredients and artifacts, it gave us a true taste of daily life in Japan.
Our adventure continued with a traditional Japanese lunch, where we savoured the authentic flavours of Japan.
To top it off, we immersed ourselves in Japanese pop culture with a lively karaoke session, singing our hearts out and unleashing our inner J-pop stars.
It was an unforgettable day filled with learning, culture and fun.

Years 9 & 12 Drama: Children's Theatre Workshop | Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre Group Visit
Our Year 9 Drama students recently worked on their Children's Theatre performances, which they presented to Canterbury’s own ELC classes as part of their Creative Industries Faculty studies.
The Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre Group, who also worked with our Year 12 Drama students, were on campus running two workshops during class time to enhance our students’ physical on-stage performance abilities.
This assisted our young actors in giving more engaging performances for their ELC audiences in June as part of their curriculum assessment.
