On Tuesday 10 November, the Year 9 and Year 10 students were rewarded with a River Cruise on the Crystal Swan down the Swan River.
This social event was available to those students who have displayed excellent behaviour, attendance of 90% or greater and adhered to the dress code as part of our Respect-Unite-Excel values.
The students had a fantastic time and it was great to see so many positive interactions and awesome dance moves.
NAIDOC WEEK 5 ACTIVITIES
Our Year 8 Gifted & Talented Visual Art students analysed the work by WA artist Christopher Pease, Nyoongar Dreaming.
In Nyoongar Dreaming, Pease has cleverly drawn upon a diversity of artistic references to create a tongue-in-cheek portrait of a young urban Nyoongar man, Peter Farmer. The nephew of Australian Rules Football great Graham 'Polly' Farmer, he stands resolutely, confidently smack bang in the middle of the road leading to the turnoff of the then unopened Graham Farmer Freeway in East Perth. The artwork can be seen at the Art Gallery of WA.
Students use what they have written to develop an essay which will describe and analyse the artwork as well as discuss its meaning.
