Dear all, welcome to week 5 - Term 4
This week on Monday the College Leadership Team worked with a consultant to begin the process of developing a vision statement that best captures our strategic intent for the future and to review the College values. Opportunities for parents and students to have an input will be coming across the next 10 school weeks, leading into the writing of our new Strategic Plan in term 2 2015.
Developing a clear and shared vision of the College is a very important step and we look forward to working with the College community to complete the task.
We also received confirmation that the Department approved our plans to refurbish the College with the 2.7 million dollars we received. This is very exciting. we can now commence costing thr projects and sending them to tender later this year.

Drama News
Year 11 Theatre Studies
As
part of their studies of Post-Modern Theatre the students from the Year 11
Theatre Studies class have been studying and staging a production of the
contemporary play ‘A Dead Man’s Cellphone’. The play deals with the concept of
identity and technology and how representations of self can be modified using
technology. Using conventions of non-naturalism including a representative set
and stage business in plain view, the production used alienation to ensure the
audience adsorbed the powerful message.
Year 10 Drama
On
Monday a group of students went to the Malthouse Theatre to perform their
group-devised performance for the Suitcase Series. In the morning the students
watched various student performances that were developed using the Malthouse
script as stimulus. In the afternoon the students were treated to the
professional actors interpretation of the script. Our students were commended
on their comedic take on the serious issue of climate change, that allowed the
audience to connect with the topic through humour.
Since
last term a group of students from the Year 10 Drama class have been writing,
directing and staging their own performance. Written for a younger audience the
play tackles issues faced by teens particularly when adapting to a new school
and finding your place. On Thursday this week the students performed to a Year
7 audience.
Year 9 Drama
The
students from Year 9 Drama are currently working on two productions to be
performed in December. More to come…
Year 8 Drama
Both
Year 8 Drama classes have been studying the topic of Spies. Investigating
different types of archetypal spy characters and workshopping various spy
techniques has culminated in students writing and performing their own spy
plays. These plays, an assessment task, were performed in class late this week.
