In science today the grade 3/4 classes explored wind direction, making our own windsocks. We learnt that the wind fills the windsock with air and makes it fly. The wind direction is the direction the wind blows from, which is opposite to the direction the windsock is pointing!

This was a great problem solving activity with students having to persist in order to refine their design to achieve success. That is the nature of science and the kids had great fun!

On Monday at lunchtime, a group of our students volunteered their time to help make paper chains for Bill Crawford Lodge. Bill Crawford Lodge is an aged care unit of Ballarat Health Services.

The paper chains are going to help decorate the unit for Christmas! Ballarat Health Services runs a competition each year for the best decorated facility for Christmas,

We hope that we have helped make Bill Crawford Lodge a festive place to be and a competition winner!!

Recently, the Phoenix College band played for the students at the Ross Campus. The students were entertained with songs from around the world as well as an introduction to different musical instruments that are in a band.

A big thanks to Phoenix College for paying the campus a visit.
