Kian and Declan from 6E, caring for their sunflowers they began to grow in term 3. They noticed that the sunflowers did not grow at the same rate and a discussion was undertaken to consider why this might be. Perhaps the amount of shade, water and soil quality. Regardless, both students are very proud of their ‘green thumb’ success.

Our crossing supervisors do an amazing job, but they can’t do it alone. Let’s all do our part on the road to keep our kids safe.

Remember to:
• Slow down around school crossings.
• Give way when the flags are up.
• Stop and wait for everyone to cross.
• Don’t let kids in/out of the car at crossings.
• If you see a school crossing, use it.

The rules around school crossings aren’t just courtesy, they’re the law. To find out more visit transport.vic.gov.au/schoolcrossings

Year 7 Science in Action!
Our Year 7 students have been exploring forces and simple machines, learning how pushes, pulls, gravity, levers and ramps work together to create movement.

To put their learning into practice, students designed and built their own Rube Goldberg machines. A Rube Goldberg machine is a creative chain-reaction machine that uses a series of simple steps and simple machines to complete a simple task in a fun and complex way.

Their challenge was to design a Rube Goldberg machine that used a chain reaction of forces and simple machines to complete a simple task, such as scoring a goal or popping a balloon, showcasing their creativity, problem-solving skills and scientific understanding.

Throughout the project, students demonstrated our school values of Collaboration and Teamwork by working together to plan, test, and refine their designs. They also learned the importance of Perseverance, overcoming challenges, troubleshooting problems and making improvements when their machines did not work as expected the first time.

We are proud of the creativity, resilience and scientific thinking our students demonstrated as they applied their understanding of forces and simple machines to design, build and refine their Rube Goldberg machines, bringing their ideas to life.

Students and staff today enjoyed a day of fun and activity while dressed in their favourite sports team colours. The PE team organised an array of activities during recess and lunch and it is clear that fun was the order of the day! Participation rates were high! This was all for a good cause as the ‘sports colours day’ supports fund raising for research into cancer affecting kids. Thank you to our school community for donating such a considerable amount- $753 so far. The goal was $1000 so if any school or community member would like to add to the funds raised so far for this important cause, please access via the link:

The Featherbrook College Award is an award that was introduced during the college’s inaugural year of 2017. The award was designed to recognise students who consistently demonstrate the school’s values of High Expectations, Respect, being Safe and Collaboration.
Each month, 2 students are recognised through this coveted award which is determined by teaching teams who collectively select the recipients. The award is presented to the students at the whole school assembly each month. Along with the award certificate, students receive a book voucher provided by the award sponsor Century 21 Point Cook.
Congratulations to the September Featherbrook College Award recipients Geralyn and Yottie as you exemplify our college values and demonstrate excellence in all that you do 🤩
