Building Bridges Project

Jo Dunn on 12/08/2019

On Wednesday 7 August, the College was proud to host the second Building Bridges workshop for the year which saw students from the Australian Islamic College, Carmel School and Carey Baptist College come together to foster harmony, friendship and gain a clearer understanding of each other鈥檚 beliefs and culture.

The day began with a concentric circle activity in which the students engaged in a 鈥渟peed dating鈥� style of dialogue, providing the opportunity for each student to talk to around 25 different students in half an hour.

Following the concentric circle activity, the students enjoyed refreshments and then engaged in small group discussions, which gave them the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of each other鈥檚 beliefs and in so doing, to discover that they have more in common, than they previously thought.

It is very rewarding to observe the students take on the challenge of Building Bridges, collaborate with each other, create dialogue and relationship and celebrate their newfound understandings and friendships throughout the Building Bridges Project.

It was wonderful to see so much engagement, collaboration and critical thinking across the year groups. Well done to all students.

STEM Festival

Jo Dunn on 12/08/2019

In the lead-up to Science Week 2019, students on both the Marian and Lavalla Campuses enjoyed a fun and engaging day where they had the opportunity to be challenged, collaborate, create and celebrate with their peers as part of the 2019 STEM Festival.

With the focus on sustainability, in particular the three R’s; Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, students at Marian enjoyed working with their buddies to look at ways of making sure that our resources last a very long time or even forever! Some of the activities they took part in were; the oil spill activity, recycled musical instruments, water saving options and the marble run.

The Years 3-6 students were challenged to “Think Outside the Box” where they had to create an arcade game using cardboard, other recycled materials and imagination. Once complete, the students had the opportunity to put their games to the test with their peers. The challenge allowed the students to explore their interests and passions; teach critical thinking, resourcefulness, perseverance, teamwork; and brought the community together to foster and celebrate child creativity.

The STEM Festival was a great opportunity for all students to explore and experience Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math through engaging hands-on activities and to better understand STEM concepts. All of the notions mentioned shed light on our College鈥檚 (Matthew 5:16)

Pre Primary Landsdale Farm Excursion

Jo Dunn on 09/08/2019

On what was a beautiful sunny Friday, the Pre Primary students embarked on their journey to Landsdale Animal Farm.

We explored and learnt about the basic needs of living things as part of our Biological Science unit of work. We became farmers for the day; meeting, feeding and learning about all the animals on the farm including, cows, ponies, alpacas, sheep, goats, geese, chickens, roosters and rabbits.

Learning about the lifecycle of a chicken was definitely a highlight because we were lucky enough to give the chickens a cuddle at the end. We also enjoyed going on a gnome hunt and riding in carts around the farm. We had a terrific day and we learnt so much about animals that live on a farm!
