Soloists in the Spotlight- Catholic Performing Arts Week 2
After a successful start to our 2018 Performing Arts Festival with Bible Reading, Gospel Drama and the Opening Mass last week, Week 2 of the festival saw our Primary Piano Soloists take to the stage at Zenith Music in Claremont. Three of our Year 4 and 5 girls performed exceptionally well and represented the College with pride. Congratulations goes to Kiera Perks (Year 5), Addison Delauney (Year 5) and Lindy Papenfus (Year 4) who all played beautifully. Next week sees the busiest week of our 2018 Festival Calendar with Christian Drama and Christian Dance taking place at Mercy College, Vocal Solo at Zenith Music and Contemporary Bands at Corpus Christi College.

Junior School Update
Kindergarten
The Kindergarten children have begun Winter Term in a positive way. Everyone came back refreshed and ready to learn and play surrounded by friends. We were so lucky to receive an abundance of new learning games and activities over the holidays which the children have thoroughly enjoyed. They especially loved coming back to school to realise the classrooms had been transformed into a supermarket and a space station. Lots of new provocations and play experiences have been set up for the children to learn, discover, investigate and experiment. We look forward to watching the children progress over the coming semester. It sure is going to be busy!

Year 12 Geographers explore Perth.
Today, the Year 12 ATAR Geography students completed primary data collection through fieldwork in and around Perth. They are studying various challenges facing Perth, including transport, congestion and urban sprawl.
The day started with a passenger count at Bassendean station, before exploring how Urban Sprawl is being addressed through in-fill in Maylands.
We then had a meeting with a team of planners working on Metronet, and students were able to complete a mapping activity, explaining their preferred transport method and route to link Ellenbrook with Perth. The meeting was extremely interesting, as the planners explained all of the factors that they have to take into account.
We continued to explore Perth by completing a case study of Subiaco, which is a transit oriented development.
After lunch back in the CBD, students explored St George's Terrace and Elizabeth Quay before making their way home.
