This week students in Prep-Year 10 attended our College assembly in the Savio Centre. Our Kinders are still learning about gatherings and will be ready for a taste of the larger community assemblies later in the year.
The assembly was a wonderful opportunity for us to be together in community and for our student leaders to convey strong positive message about learning to our student body. É«ÇéÖ±²¥ Captains and Vice Captains were impressive and led the assembly with confidence and style.
A showcase of student learning
The assembly showcased a range of student pursuits both inside and outside of the College.
Highlights included a performance by our Year 8 Elective Dance students who are to be commended on their focus, discipline and skill, which combined together for a most engaging and very convincing performance.
Year 10 Science students, Soma Kondo and Oscar Elliot demonstrated learnings with their group, from their recent experience in the University of Tasmania's Science & Engineering Challenge. We were all fascinated by their mock bionic hand, made of drinking straws!
Year 8 student, Felicity Ploughman inspired us all with a great speech on getting involved in Rostrum Voice of Youth and what she had learned from the experience.
The excellent singing of the Prep-Year 6 students of the Hymn to Don Bosco was appreciated and enjoyed by all.
Gathering as a full community of learners is an important part of being an authentic K-10 College and we look forward each term to this special event.
