Class 11 Geography Main Lesson
In Class 11, students begin their Geography Main Lesson by looking at what climate is and how it changes over time, both naturally and anthropogenically.
They study the Greenhouse Effect, Albedo, Geodesy, and Sea Level Rise before looking at more human-level effect on the climate. We celebrate the success story of the Montreal Protocol which is healing the Ozone Layer and look at our impacts on the environment through our choices as consumers and daily lifestyles.
We finish up by having students use these principles to envision a sustainable house they would like to live in and a wider community they would love to be part of.

Black Swan Theatre Company Workshop
Class 11 English were treated to a workshop with Asha Cornelia Cluer from the Black Swan Theatre Company in their double lesson, Thursday afternoon in Week 6 (Liesl and Jadon's groups) and Week 7 (Pam's group). Class 11 has been delving into short stories focusing particularly on overarching themes, relationships, gender roles, societal (class) roles and expectations.
Asha took the students through a fully practical, theatre/drama session which included some warm up and improvisation exercises so that students felt comfortable and confident to then undertake activities which dramatised elements of the story in focus. Each group focused on a different story.
Students engaged well and finished the session with some group 'freeze frames' signifying key scenes from the books and emotional relationships. Students enjoyed the variety of activities and interacting with each other, their teacher and Asha in a different way.
