Heritage Project

Year 6/7 students from 3 classes have been inolved in the 2006 Department for Environment and Heritage's Schools Heritage Competition. Part of the requirement was that students use Information and Communication Technologies to effectively present about their local heritage and connections between the past and present.

Congratulations to Mr Edwards' Year 7 class & Mrs Kameron's Year 6 team who, along with Keith Area School, shared the Most Outstanding Entry (Year 6-7 category) for their entries which you can see below:

Pinball Arcade!

Since the beginning of Term 3 students in Orange 1 have been investigating pinball machines as part of Technology. They looked at many different examples and appraised what they liked and would like to see in their own designs. in Team Time they created designs and mockups using pipe-board. This term students created their finished product from wood and other materials. We held a Pinball Arcade day this week so other students could play our pinballs too. We hope you like them.

Red Unit visits Tandanya

Students from the Red Unit (Ms McKenzie & Mr Murrie's classes) recently visited Tandanya to learn about Aboriginal culture and history. They learned many things from Pilawuk who created some fantastic artwork now on display in the school. The students made a great Power Point about the trip, which due to its size, can be viewed HERE in PDF format.

Ms Bonarenko's Year 5/6 Adelaide Art

Ms Bondarenko's class studied old pictures of Adelaide, as it was, before creating their own beautiful works of art of Adelaide, as it is.

Mrs Kameron uses her video-making expertise to help North Haven students to make movies about the school, topics being studied and for entries into various film-making competitions.
