This year, we welcome two new teachers to the CAPA & Modern Languages KLA. Rebecca Hopkins (Visual Arts and Photographic and Digital Media) who will be job sharing with Kylee Perrett and Taylah Grainger (French) who is teaching the Modern Languages course. You may notice we have also moved to a single language model of instruction in Year 7, and our learners have made a great start to in their French learning journey.

Visual Arts and Photographic & Digital Media

Year 7 are learning about Portraiture this term. Their first task is creating a cover for their Visual Arts Process Diary using a silhouette of their profile to communicate their identity visually.

They have been experimenting with light and shade and the Elements of Art to create realistic tonal drawings inspired by Chuck Close's 'Portrait of Bob’.

Year 9 Visual Arts learners have been exploring contemporary portraiture, combining illustration and collage to create an artwork.

In Stage 5 Photographic & Digital Media classes, learners worked with our school portrait photographers to learn about studio lighting and portraiture photography. Later in the term, they will be using this knowledge to take head shots of our High School Musical cast.

Proclaim

I wanted to take the time to acknowledge our wonderful ministry band, Proclaim. So far this year, they have performed at the Bathu Welcoming Liturgy, Whole School Opening Liturgy, Year 7 Welcoming Liturgy and for Ash Wednesday. We’re so proud of their professionalism, growth and willingness to participate in these important events in our school calendar.

Year 10 Drama students attended Theatresports at Trinity Catholic College on Thursday 6 March. Participating in theatre games with other schools from the Diocese , it was a wonderful learning experience for this class as they began the course. A big thanks goes to Miss Shimeld and the students that travelled to Trintiy CC to support our learners too.

A highlight of the day was the Year 10 team winning tied first place with St Joesph’s College in the Year 10 and overall teams' category! What an amazing accomplishment for these learners.
