INSPIRING CLASSROOMS IN ACTION

2025-04-28T12:05:58+10:0028 March, 2025|Categories: Term 1 Week 8|

 

One of the greatest joys in my role is visiting classrooms and witnessing the dynamic and engaging learning environments our teachers cultivate. Over the past fortnight, I had the privilege of visiting classrooms across both the Elphin and Penquite Campuses, seeing firsthand the incredible work being done by both students and staff. One particularly unique and inspiring experience was observing our Artist in Residence, Katie Barron, work closely with our TCE Art staff and students, an experience fostered by TCE teacher Carmel Dilger.

Katie brought a fresh and exciting perspective to these classes, […]

Prep students have been engaging in their art specialist learning subject as they explore the language of drawing. This week, the session integrated the students mathematical learning and understanding on repeating patterns and used this to influence their art expressions. This holistic learning experience will continue for a few weeks as the students use process art to create masterpieces!

FOREST ECOLOGY AT CLUAN TIER

2025-03-28T11:10:09+11:0028 March, 2025|Categories: Term 1 Week 8|

This week, our TCE Environmental Science class headed to Cluan Tier to study forest ecology, with the help of the Forest Education Foundation. Cluan Tier is located in Golden Valley and its changing altitude means that all of the main Tasmanian forest types are found within a short distance of each other.

The warm, sunny weather presented ideal conditions for students to apply various field techniques learned in class. In addition to their field studies, students discussed biodiversity, contextualised their understanding of biotic and abiotic factors, and gained insights into the complexity of […]

ROUND SQUARE POSTCARDS

2025-03-28T11:09:46+11:0028 March, 2025|Categories: Term 1 Week 8|

Students across the Penquite campus have the opportunity to participate in Round Square Postcards. These are on-line meetings with their peers from Round Square schools all over the world. They last for about an hour, are hosted by one school who focus on a theme, and are a wonderful way for peers to meet and chat about relevant topics without having to get on a plane.

Yesterday, two of our Year 12 Round Square Committee members, Olivia Pedder and Lily Forsyth, took part in a meeting of about 60 students from 12 schools […]
