 On Friday 31st October, Yule Brook College had their first athletics carnival since as long as anyone at the school can remember! It took place at Langford Athletics Complex and included all year 8’s and 9’s as well as some year 10 helpers. Each advisory group in year 8 and 9 were assigned a colour for the day: Mr Hill was green, Mr Marks was red, Mrs Reeves was white, Miss Bennett was yellow and Mr Bottomley was blue.

In my Advisory, there has been some very advanced work being done. Many students are doing tasks and projects well beyond their year level with three students working with year 11 and 12 text books.

Last term, my advisory topic was Veterinary Medicine. I started out with a mind map about veterinary medicine in general. I then narrowed it down to “what a veterinarian does”. Afterwards, I then chose the thesis statement “Veterinary services and pet care is a major industry in Australia”. I then completed my quantitative task, wherein I proved my thesis statement correct.

Or should I say Thursday. This issue goes out early due to tomorrow’s athletics carnival. This week has been a particularly exciting week with the build up to the carnival. The year eights have performed better than expected and we are confident that we have enough talent amongst the cohort to do us proud tomorrow.

There is some interesting work going on in advisory time. Examples of this are: Reg and Isaac have teamed up to make a model of a skate park that they can use “tech decks” on. Abbas has discovered a great computer programme named “Sketch Up” to design a soccer stadium in 3D. The programme is sophisticated, but Abbas has taken on the challenge and is producing a professional looking design.

Currently in Science we are studying Forces. In S&E the topic is culture. In Maths students are looking at 2D and 3D shapes and Mathletics continues to be a big hit. In English the students are viewing, studying scripts and writing their own soap operas.

One of the most exciting events this week has been the cooking group’s visit to Bentley Tafe. The group got to look around the Bakery, Butchery and Vet clinic where there were snakes. Mrs Reeves fled from the room for that part of the visit, but showed remarkable bravery when it came to lunch at the Bentley Pines restaurant run by Tafe students. She had ox tongue for entree` and ostrich for lunch as a way of encouraging our students to be adventurous. A few took up her challenge, but probably regretted it. The group also got to visit the fashion students and look at fabrics and sewing techniques.
