On 11th November, our school honoured and remembered our veterans who served and sacrificed in all wars and conflicts in Australia and New Zealand. Khadija Sunasra, Elaf Farrage, Lejla Omanovic & Amar El-Rifai from Year 10 presented the importance of Remembrance Day and the significance of poppy flowers during the morning assembly. The images had created a great visual impact on our students and provided a unique experience. It was a very informative presentation, about the soldiers who served, died, or suffered in wars and peacekeeping operations. They acknowledged the individual acts of heroism of soldiers and their fight for peace, which they fought for fearlessly.
Year 7 and Year 8
Year 7 and 8 students studied Economics and Business in HASS this term. They studied concepts relating to starting a business, the relationship between consumers and producers, how markets operate, and how to achieve business success. Year 7 students set up a mini-market and utilised the skills they were taught to ensure their business was a success. The students were excited and I am sure we have some future entrepreneurs at our school. Year 8 students researched successful entrepreneurs and presented their findings to their peers, in the form of interviews and PowerPoint presentations. Many skills for business success were discovered and most importantly, our students are inspired to realise their dreams.
Year 9
This term, the Year 9 students were introduced to the concept of Economics & Business. Students learned about how the Australian economy functions and its role in allocating and distributing resources. They researched the global events that affected the Australian economy and explained how events overseas can have an impact on Australia. They gained knowledge about the importance of managing financial risks and rewards along with strategies in achieving economic goals.
Year 10
This term, the Year 10 students were introduced to the concept of Economics and Business. They learned about why and how governments manage economic performance to improve living standards. They gained knowledge and understanding of the importance of government intervention in the market, factors influencing major consumer decisions and the ways to improve productivity and economic conditions. Finally, students compared the living standards and economic performance of Australia with other countries around the world.
