Year 12 Aquatic Practices

This term, our Year 12 Aquatic Practices students have been putting their skills to the test by designing and constructing their very own fishing rods as part of their assessment. The project has provided students the opportunity to explore the science and craft behind rod building — from selecting materials and assembling components, to understanding how design can affect performance on the water.


To put their creations into action, the class attended two fishing excursions at the Noosa River and Maroochy River. These trips gave students valuable hands-on experience in casting techniques, bait selection, and sustainable fishing practices, while also allowing them to trial the rods they built in real-world conditions.


The excursions not only provided an excellent chance for students to apply classroom learning in a practical setting, but also encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, and an appreciation of our local waterways.


Well done to all our Year 12 Aquatic Practices students for their effort and enthusiasm throughout the term. The skills and experiences gained will no doubt stay with them well beyond the classroom.

Year 9 History Students Explore World War One Through Memorial Box 

Our Year 9 History students recently had the unique opportunity to engage with a Memorial Box sent from the Australian War Memorial to support their studies of World War One. The box was filled with fascinating artefacts, including a nurse’s cape, a slouch hat, an emu plume and postcards, providing students with hands-on access to both primary and secondary sources. 

Included in the box was a two-up spinner, and Mrs Young explained the significance of the game to the ANZAC legacy. 

Students said the experience helped history come alive for them. “It felt incredible to hold a piece of history in my hands,” one student shared. Another reflected, “Seeing the postcards made me think about the families waiting at home and what soldiers went through.” 

This memorable activity gave students a deeper connection to the people, stories and sacrifices that shaped Australia’s history during the war.
