2023 Engineering Project – Earthquake Resistant Tower
This task aimed to create an earthquake-proof tower, using spaghetti and bluetack. We had limits on how much spaghetti we could use, and our tower had to be 60cm tall.

English Reflection
Collaboration to me means working effectively and efficiently and treating each other with kindness and respect. I also believe that being open to new ideas is really important, especially when working with people you aren’t super familiar with. Learner agency to me is taking responsibility for your learning, and being resilient when something doesn’t go […]

Health Project Term 1: Role Models and Me
How important it is for us to recognise our heroes! – Maya Angelou My Core Values Respect is important to me, because I believe that is how everyone should be treated, with respect.

Christmas Market 2021 Reflection
Price and Profit: Our group determined a price of $3.00 at the very start. We set it at $3.00 because it had finely drawn designs, and it was laser cut. Our cost per unit was only 0.51c in the end, so we knew we would be making a pretty good profit if we set it […]
