REMOTE LEARNING - STUDENTS' WORK
Year 9 Trinity Program
This term Year 9 Trinity students have been finding ways to help educate and change the world in topics they are interested in and passionate about.
Here is a message from Angony, Dayanara, Aiden, Angela, Bahnam and Deng about Animal Rights.
Animal rights are important and must be focused on since many animals have been injured or have died due to laboratory abuse (by testing fragrances as well as other chemicals such as pesticides, cosmetics and paint on animals), animal abuse, dog and cat meat trade or even domestic violence. This has been going on for long enough and our group's aim is to spread awareness about animal killings and our objective is to inspire the next generation to start respecting animal rights. A way that we can prevent this cruel abuse is by buying products such as beauty products that are "cruelty free".
Here is a poster that Madison, Van, Vincent, Tony and Marven have made to educate readers about the effects of Climate Change and rising sea temperatures. Next week they will educate you on behaviours that can help reduce the effects of climate change and rising sea temperatures.
They are also conducting a survey on how much people know about coral bleaching and climate change. If you would like to take part in this survey, please click the link below. Thank you!
Jeehan, John, Anmar and Sandra created a poster about Homelessness:
Jessie Huy, Jorge and Mr Taylor shared some tips on self care during isolation.
Another group is raising awareness around domestic violence.
Year 7 English
These two examples of work are from 7 Wimmera and they are the introductory paragraph of their essay on the novel, The Fall by Tristan Bancks
‘The Fall’- Risky choices essay by Mirai, 7 Wimmera
The novel, ‘The Fall’, is a book written by Tristan Bancks that introduces the main character, Sam, who has witnessed a crime being committed, which leads him to make a series of risky choices just to fulfil his desire to be like his father, Harry. When making risky decisions, they lead to spontaneous consequences that are either good or terrible. First of all, Sam makes a risky choice by looking out of the window to investigate what had happened to the man that had fallen from the balcony above Harry’s apartment. Furthermore, Sam decided to stay with his father even though he knew that Mick Kelly was after him. Ultimately, Sam’s curiosity leads him to make numerous amounts of dangerous alternatives. The choices Sam mostly made throughout the novel lead to many vicious and minacious situations that almost got him killed.
‘The Fall’- Risky choices essay by Jenny, 7 Wimmera

After Sam and his father are captured by Mick Kelly, they make risky choices to fight for their survival. These risky choices made by Sam and his father lead to various unpredictable outcomes and put them in dangerous situations.
YEAR 7 MATERIALS
Teaching and studying from home has proved to be a challenging task for both our staff and students. Teaching a practical subject adds a layer of complexity involved for our students where independence, resilience and self-motivation become even more important. After 4 weeks of home learning I just wanted to congratulate some of my Year 7 students. These students have pushed themselves to be the best they can be by taking pride in their work and demanding to know how they can improve their work even further. The task involved creating four simple initial designs for the pencil box project. These designs will help student formulate their final design before constructing it in CAD. Well done to Tiffany Georgiou, Kayla Lu, Sierra Lynch and Vicky Huynh, all of 7 Snowy.
