Woodwork
Woodword group is held on Tuesdays during lunch time for our year 4 to 6 students. Ray Hodgson (Lisa McCartie's father) kindly donates his time to create wonderful pieces of art with students. Groups of 6 student attending for a 5 week block each term.
The children attending Wood Work Club have had fun making and painting tool boxes, mug holders and cars. They will be making Christmas items in the coming weeks. As always the children have enjoyed their woodwork sessions and their behaviour is to be commended.

Art Master Class
Our teacher Leanne Tapper runs Art Master Classes weekly/fortnigtly for part of each term. These are run after school on a Tuesday for an hour.
Term 4 2020, the Art Masters program continued with the students from C Block. The Year 5 and 6 Gifted and Talented Visual Art students have been learning print making skills.
Students started their project using a still life drawing inspired by Spring flowers, both native and exotic. Students applied their design to lino tiles that were carved using various lino cutting tools and then printed their designs using manual printing presses. They produced artwork of a very high standard and should feel justifiably proud of their efforts. We will display some examples of their finished work in the Arts Centre as soon as the framing is completed.
Many thanks to Ms Suzie Sheridan for volunteering her time to assist us on Tuesday afternoons.
Robotics Club
Larissa Waghorn our Science teacher runs Robotics Club weekly on a Thursday after school for an hour.
Our Robotics students are working hard, getting ready for the ‘First Lego League’ competition that will be held on the first Saturday in December. There has been lots of patience and resilience required as computer code is modified time and time again, but this is soon forgotten in the excitement as missions are successfully completed. Both teams are also working on their project to present to the judges at the competition. This year's theme is 'Replay' and the challenge is to design something that will help people to become more active.
Chess Club/Lego Club
Due to COVID19 these classes are not being run. Hopefully they will commence in Term 4 2020.
