The power of the written and spoken word can unite or divide. In English, students study texts on a range of themes to develop their understanding of language and how it is used. This enables students to discern the myriad of information they receive through as we celebrate the end of term media sources and be able to develop their opinions in alignment with their morals. Literacy is far more than Casuals for Canberra vocabulary and grammar, it involves developing communication skills that allow full participation and civic Fundraiser responsibility in our society.

There is no perfect way to describe the play because it was based purely upon philosophical thoughts and was very much open to self-interpretation. Personally, we think that this play was trying to spark thoughts in relation to the meaning of life and the inevitable outcome of death, in order to inspire the audience to take every opportunity they are presented with and to always embrace new things. Others found it overwhelming and confusing as it was something very different to what most had experienced and was not a traditional play. It was a performance that required deep thinking and we will explore it further as we write our assessment pieces on it. Abbie Norris and Aurora Furbank (Year 12) Garden of Unearthly Delights Our class arrived at the Garden of Unearthly Delights at approximately 6:00pm and made our way to the very well-designed House of Mirrors. The students split into groups of six or seven and proceeded to go in group at a time. Most of the groups struggled to find their way through the maze of mirrors, however some found their way through it with ease and then proceeded to guide others. After completing this the whole group gathered outside the House of Mirrors and we were given free time to go and explore the Garden of Unearthly Delights and buy ourselves tea and other refreshments. Our time had to be spent wisely as there was a lot to do, such as; show rides, hennas, comedy shows, carnival games, fairy floss, and ice cream. Most people gathered into small groups and explored together so that no one was alone, but it was never too crowded. A few brave classmates went on a very daring show ride and watching them experience this was definitely one of the highlights of the Garden of Unearthly Delights.

We talked with many different individuals who work in various fields. There was one professional who worked as a trainer for the national level tennis players and others who worked behind the scenes in finance and business management. It gave all of the students a very good insight into some future job possibilities and careers in the sporting industry other than as a professional player. Connor Clisby (Year 11), Charlie Johnson (Year 12) Art Gallery The Year 11 and 12 Art students visited the Art Gallery of South Australia, where we participated in a workshop and visited two exhibitions. We had a tour of Ben Quilty’s exhibition where we experienced some of his early and most recent artworks. Quilty’s work was very powerful and meaningful; one of his artworks in particular demonstrated the Afghanistan War and spread awareness about the crisis during this period of time. We also visited the exhibition of Ways of Seeing where we saw a range of prints, drawings, photos, paintings and decorative arts by artists including Helen Frankenthaler and Ed Ruscha. Students participated in a drawing workshop where we learnt about composition, tone and media, proportion, and were able to draw self-portraits using oil pastels. Everyone participated well and made the day a success.

The year 11’s attended the seminar to further their knowledge on research and especially research throughout the library’s website. We were guided around by a tour guide throughout the library, we were then taken down into their basement and shown where they store all the resources. We happen to come across school magazines from the 1980’s which had some past teachers in them, including Rick Hutchinson. By letting the year 11’s attend the seminar, it allowed them to further progress their research gathering skills. This was helpful because the year 11’s are starting their Research Project next semester, and to succeed they need to be able to research properly. Matthew Drewer and Maxwell Bland This photo is of Yorketown in 1950, taken from what is known as Stansbury road today. It is gathered from the State Library’s website. Student Voice Baden’s trip to India On the 20th of February 2019, myself and a group of 7 others gathered together at the Adelaide airport and started our adventure to India. Upon arriving in India the first thing I noticed was the air, it was very smoggy/smoky and hard to breathe. It was around 11pm when we arrived, and from the airport we drove to a hotel. On the journey to the hotel I saw hundreds of homeless people sleeping in the dirt on the sides of the road. From seeing this I realized how good we have it back in Australia and I quickly learned to appreciate the things I have, even if I may have thought they’re not that important to me. For the next couple of days, we visited different hostels. A hostel in India is a place parents send their children to live and get an education. These children are generally fairly poor and do not have many belongings, so we spent most of our time giving the children cherish-able gifts and playing with them. We also made generous donations of money to the hostels to support the owners and the children. Our main objective was to spend time with the children and just spread the love and try to make a difference in their lives. This was a life changing experience for both the children and us, seeing the children’s faces light up as we gave them toys was such an enjoyable experience and I will never forget it. The next main thing we did was staying in a village for two days. Villages are spread all over India and are usually a row of houses on either side of around a one hundred metre road.

These principles form a non-negotiable code of conduct and will guide our government on who we hire, how we train, and how we reward. These values will define who we are, what we stand for, and influence policies, procedures, and guidelines. Adopted by City Council in May 2011, after a collaborative effort by Department Directors and the City Manager to consolidate employee suggestions, these five core values represent the first milestone in instituting the City’s new Performance Excellence Program.

Also considered are the facilities, needs, plans and future growth. The geographic location and its effects on the parks are included. The writer lived seven years in Tulsa during his boyhood and was graduated from the suburban Union High School. He has since been employed as a teacher in the Tulsa Public Schools, and served as a counselor in the Tulsa Park System during the summer of 1956. Since there is very little published material that would assist this study, the writer relied on field study, having visited and studied all the present parks and other areas that have been acquired for future development. Supervisors and members of the Tulsa Park System were interviewed regarding the various problems, functions and duties of the personnel, and the effectiveness of the entire Tulsa System. Any opinions stated are those of the writer and do not necessarily represent the belief of the officials of the Tulsa Park System or ... sources quoted. The writer wishes to express his gratitude to Dr.
