We’re buzzing with excitement as we dive into the latest updates from our classrooms. Here’s a sneak peek into what our students have been up to: 

Our Year 8 students are on a mission to become digital superheroes! They’re exploring the ins and outs of online safety, citizenship, and responsibility. Currently, they’re gearing up for their first CAT (Common Assessment Task), where they’ll showcase their knowledge through a presentation in a format of their choice. It’s all about empowering them to navigate the digital world with confidence and integrity. 

Meanwhile, over in our Textiles classes, creativity is in full swing! Year 8 students are whipping up designs for Cupcake Pin Cushions and diving into textile experimentation. They’ve been mastering their skills and ensuring safety is always a top priority. Over in Year 9, it’s a similar story with students demonstrating their prowess through technical skill samples and designing fabulous Bucket Hats. Talk about fashion-forward thinking! 
Stepping it up a notch, our Year 10 Textiles crew is putting their knowledge into action. From technical skill samples to designing chic Cross Body Bags, they’re weaving their way through the design process with finesse. With design briefs and client profiles as their guides, there’s no limit to their creativity! 

In the realm of Food Studies, our students are whipping up a storm! From exploring hygiene and safety to diving into the delicious world of pizza design, they’re on a culinary adventure. Year 11 students are delving into the history of food production, while Year 7s are mastering kitchen basics with stuffed pita pockets and ramen. And let’s not forget about Barkers Gastronomy, who are recreating Chef’s Hat restaurant meals with finesse! 
Last but not least, our thinkers, movers and shakers for the future, in Repair, Restore, Recycle are on a mission to save the planet, one bookend at a time! They’re diving deep into the principles of sustainability, researching the benefits of recycling and reusing, and planning their upcycled masterpieces. Who knew saving the environment could be so stylish? 

Stay tuned for more updates from our classes as our students continue to learn, create, and inspire!
