Students in Senior Primary at Matthew Flinders Anglican College have embraced the challenge to design a new world-class city from the ground up!
In partnership with Queensland University of Technology Design Lab and experts in design, the College hosted a ‘Design for Impact Summit’ at Flinders Performance Centre on October 6 and 7.
A short video of the Summit highlights is shared here.
The Design for Impact Summit involved our Year 5 and Year 6 students, with assistance from some of our Years 9 and 10 students, as part of an exciting design thinking immersion experience, inspired by real-life city planning.
Following the decision to introduce a new entrepreneur program at Carmel, we set about investigating the best of the best currently available. After a period of intensive research our Principal, Shula Lazar, headed to the USA to find out more about her preferred option: the Uncharted Learning course.
The task seemed simple enough (NOT!): uncover the best high school entrepreneurship program in the world and work out how to offer this program at Carmel.
Honestly, I didn't know much about entrepreneurship, but I do know about education. Like all the successful teaching implemented here at Carmel, I knew the program needed to be explicit, comprehensive, knowledge-based and experience enhanced.
For the first time, Wesley College’s Glen Waverley Campus will feature a dedicated Chapel, at the heart of the campus, within a new multi-storey student centre, The Drennen Centre.
The Chapel is especially meaningful to Ms Ev Kreppert, a long-serving former Wesley teacher, who made the first donation in 2008 for a spiritual meeting point for students and staff from all religious backgrounds to congregate.
‘I told Helen Drennen at the time that the campus would not be complete without a chapel and so I made an initial donation to assist the future funding of the chapel.’ Ev Kreppert said.
Bayside’s first ‘buddy bench’ to encourage inclusion and friendship among students as part of mental health week Queensland’s largest private mental health facility has partnered Moreton Bay College to create a more inclusive playground for students, today confirming plans to install bayside Brisbane’s first ‘buddy bench’ to overcome the challenges of making friends at school.
Thursday 14 May was a significant day for everyone at St James’ Anglican School in Alkimos, Western Australia. The School gymnasium received its formal signage and will forever be known as the Djinda Sports Centre. Djinda, an Aboriginal word meaning stars above, reflects our beautiful clean air in the north and our desire to be stars. A perfect name for our future Orange Army stars.
Year 10 at Kimberley College is undergoing changes to better serve as a transition year between middle school, senior school and the future. Kimberley College, a school in Carbook that opts out of formalised testing until senior school, will keep its successful multi-graded primary and middle school classes but make adjustments to the structure of Year 10 to introduce students to the workflow, assessment pattern, and nature of testing of Year 11 and 12. The changes are in response to the new QCAA system that replaces Queensland’s former OP grading.
After an exciting weekend filled with thrills and spills, The Moreton Bay Colleges’ Mountain Bike Club have defended their title of Mountain Biking Australia Schools National Champions for 2019.
