Following a Zoom meeting with a Senior Project Officer at the NSW Environmental Protection Authority last week, our year 10 students spent Wednesday morning working through the EPAs Bin Trim Waste Assessment with the 9 cafés participating in our Katoomba Cafés Send Plastic Packing campaign.

Their first reading was ridiculously funny and marked the beginning of quite a journey…not dissimilar to trying to find the Wizard without the yellow brick road! Like Dorothy, we have picked up a few characters along […]

Connection has been the focus in Drama this term: building physical connection though movement, social connection within the group, and emotional connection to text. We have worked across the year groups on a collection of scenes from predominantly Australian writers. The scenes ranged from a contemporary new Australian play, The Block Universe, with a scene […]
Our Term 1 Drama unit in Class 9-10 revisited the physical work we were developing pre-Covid and married it with a fresh exploration of language, the power of chorus and playing with alternate perspectives in storytelling.
