Lacrosse, Basketball finals, Students vs. staff - it's been a busy end of term. Congratulations to everyone who's contributed to our schools sports programs! 

Year 10 Community Health Lesson - How much sugar is in our foods?

Community Health lessons cover a wide range of information, and recently our students analysed the amount of added sugar in commonly used food products.

First students had to guess which drink product contained a certain amount of sugar. Students worked as a team to discuss and decide which drink card matched the bag of sugar.

Then students looked at nutrition labels and converted the mentioned grams of sugar per packet and converted it into teaspoon metrics. Students then measured out these findings.

A hands-on approach to really understanding how much added sugar is added to the foods we enjoy!

Languages and Cultural Diversity Week

What a week! From the 4th to the 8th, students participated in a huge range of activities.
These included Tai Chi, Burmese Dancing, Taiko Drumming, Origami, a daily Sudoku, Bollywood Dancing, a Gelati Truck, a sushi sale, prayers in a three different languages, and a dress up day where students were encouraged to wear traditional cultural dress!
It was a huge week, and students and staff all really enjoyed the activities

Year 7 Gardenbeds

Our Year 7's have been working on their garden beds at CTK! Some of the girls kindly wrote a short reflection for us:

"The LM representatives have had the responsibility to take care of a garden bed each along with their classmates. The LM representatives and the vice representatives went on an excursion to Bunnings, on this trip they collected all the veggies for their garden beds and were planted in the garden beds next to the food room at CTK.

The year 7's have taken up the challenge to grow and produce their own veggies that they can later take home to eat at the end of the semester. Across the LM's the students have made a healthy competition environment of which LM can grow the most produce.

The students have learnt to take care of plants and making sure that they watered regularly and stay healthy. The LM Reps and the Vices have done an excellent job at planting their veggies and it has been amazing to see how the students are really engaged and interested in the growth of their little sprouts. Only time can tell how amazing these plants will turn out overall."
