Dear all, welcome to week 10 - Term 4
We also fitted out our new strength and
conditioning room on Wednesday and some photos of it are in the blog. I am
excited to announce that we have also made a decision on our preferred
Architect, who will lead us through our refurbishments in 2015.
Year 8 Science Fun - The Great Geology Bake Off!
Bon Appetit!
On Thursday, 10 December the Year 8 and Year 9 French students
were treated to an end-of-year French food tasting experience during class
time. Menus written in French were created by the students beforehand to
introduce them to the delights of French cuisine.
We welcomed our
new Year 7 students to the College on Orientation Day last Tuesday. They are a
wonderful group of students who had a fantastic day, learning about the
College, making new friends and beginning to build strong relationships with
their excellent teaching staff.

I watched the
Middle Years student body rehearse for Presentation Night on Thursday and they
were magnificent. The night promises to be another showcase of the Forest Hill
College students and their achievements. I look forward to seeing many of you
there on Monday.
Year 8 Science Fun - The Great Geology Bake Off!
Year 8 wrapped up a great year of Science with a super
fun Wednesday afternoon double!
Period 3 was spent vying for the title of “Year 8
Science Trivia Champions” with all 3 classes coming together into 10 teams and
competing in 6 rounds of Science trivia. It was a tough battle, in the end only
0.5 of a point separated first & second.
Then, in Period 4 we concluded our Geology unit with
“The Great Geology Bake Off” – Students bought in their best edible
representations of rocks to take part in the bake off. Awards were given for
best rock resemblance and for most delicious rock. There were so many fabulous
entries we had to call in ‘guest teacher judges’ to help us decide. Some of the
fantastic entries are pictured.
On behalf of Mrs Veljanovski, Mr Heaton & Miss
Gell we’d just like to thank the year 8s for their awesome efforts – not only
in this task, but for the whole year of fun in Science!
We ate patisseries such as croissants, pains au chocolat, eclairs,
baguettes, tuiles and mini-toasts along with five different types of
'fromages': Boursin, Babybel, La vache qui rit (Laughing Cow), Camembert and
Brie. We also had an individual Nutella each. All was washed down with 'les boissons'
le Coca-Cola, la limonade et l'eau minerale.
A fun and calorie-filled time was had by all!
