College Church Service

The College Church Service will be on Saturday the 29th of August, starting at 5.30pm. Students can be in Mufti Clothes for the occasion. We encourage everyone to be there, but if you are absent, a note  explaining your absence needs to be provided on Monday. 

There will be a Sausage sizzle held afterwards and we look forward to catching up with lots of families for the evening. 

Japanese Students Visit MACC

Each year my family has the pleasure of being able to host a Japanese student at our household. Each year we have a wonderful time. I am Nikita, and this year I have a girl student named Eriko. My classmates Lily and Jack are also hosting some students this year. Lily is hosting a girl named Rio. Jack is hosting a boy named Shuhei.

When the students first arrived we were all very excited. Everyone couldn’t wait to meet their student. When they first came out of the bus, a lovely lady named Julie approached us and asked us for our last name. We told her. Then out of the crowd she called out Eriko. We took her to our car and hit the road.

She told us she has been looking forward to meeting us and can’t wait to get to know us. We told her that we were looking forward to meeting her too. She told us that she will share things about Japan to us while we show her about Japan. She is a lovely girl. When we got home we had some friends come over with their Japanese students. We all had a wonderful time and I can’t wait for the rest of the week.

Jack took his student to Wollongong when he got home and lily played some games (monopoly) at her house with hers. 

Having the Japanese students is always great fun! Who knows what might happen in the rest of the week! I would defiantly recommend it to anyone.

Have you ever had someone from a foreign country stay at your house? If you have, what did you do?

Properly Packaged

There are many aspects to the Dairy Industry. For dairy product to arrive on our tables, involves a lengthy process, starting with life on a dairy farm. The milk that a cow has produced must be carefully stored so that its quality is maintained and contaminant-free.

This week the students have been set a STEM-ed challenge of creating a package that can hold 500 ml of  milk. They are to think as an engineer would to solve the problem of creating a waterproof container that can transport milk. The closest design to the 500 ml capacity will gain extra points. The students only have the following items to use for the challenge. 

The students have had to draw their ideas first before constructing their designs, discussing the different options, as part of the challenge is that they will not receive any replacements if the items fail in some way. They will need to modify their design. Often projects in life will mean working with the resources that we have, rather than an unlimited budget. 

The students will complete their designs and then will reflect on them as a group. They need to be able to explain how their design achieves the brief. The design that achieves the highest score will receive a prize. 

It will be interesting to see the designs that the students come up with and to see how they go about solving the challenge. Stay tuned!

The Vote is in!

MACC Showcase 2015

Last night, I went to showcase and it was fun. If you are wondering what showcase is well its mainly to show our singing, dancing and dramatic talents. We started off with a dance that was AMAZING! Then there was a few songs that were awesome and then stage 3 did a song called. HEROES

It was no ordinary performance. Let me just say for the record that there were a few glow sticks and glow paint involved It was awesome!

Not that I could see because I was performing. we did a few more songs and then it was intermission. when it was time to do the show again we started with some more awesome songs and then my favorite act besides HEROS was when the teachers started lip syncing.

Back in the room I was in it was a total dance party, one word to describe what was happening is CHAOS  it was a mad house in there. Grace R, Rhiannon, Mackenzie and myself were dancing with eachother  when Mrs Downs started to lip sinc. last night was so much fun and I can't wait until next year.






P.S.The year 5 girls were so AMAZING, AWESOME, FANTASTIC and MAGNIFICENT! I hope everyone agrees!
