Congratulations to all students who participated in the Young Entrepreneur’s Challenge on Wednesday 7 October! Every team brought fresh thinking, hard work and courage to sharing their business ideas.
Among the creative concepts were MINmalist Jewels, exploring more sustainable materials for jewellery; Safe Gem, proposing necklaces and bracelets designed to offer young women peace of mind; and Cheese Couriers, bringing the convenience of delicious Australian-made cheeses delivered straight to your door. These were just some of the ideas on display, with every team contributing to an impressive showcase.

🏆 First Place: Root Refresh! Their brush featured dry shampoo built into the handle, allowing busy users to dispense a small amount with a simple squeeze and freshen their hair on the go. They even demonstrated a working prototype! Congratulations Yr 9 students Isaac, Aleisha, and Savannah.
👏 Runner-Up and People’s Choice Award: Poseidon’s Case! Their fashionable waterproof covering for arm plaster casts proved a hit with both the judges and the audience. Well done Yr 9 students Alex, Oscar, and Dominic.

A special thank you to Ms Rayner, Mr Sinclair and Mr Foster for mentoring and supporting our young entrepreneurs.
Congratulations to every participant - you gave us plenty to celebrate!

Our Year 7 Media Arts students are at it again! To introduce the practical element of our stop motion animation unit, students took part in a Stop Motion Workshop with ToonWorld. It takes patience, a bit of trial and error, and plenty of imagination to make it all work. This semester we have been wow-ed by the student's creativity, especially the lobster patient and the blood moon!
