 Today SRC students presented our LLPs to Orbost and Marlo Primary School students. LLP stands for Local Learning Project. It is a smaller version of a CLP. SRC students are required to complete a topic from the local area and present it to primary school students. In the morning when the students arrived, we played some games with the whole community and name games in our smaller groups before presenting our topics.

Today was the beginning of the fifth week for SRC students and what a better way to start it off with a sports round robin. Today was meant to be SRC’s rest day, but we decided as a community to organise a day where we could all get out and have some fun. The group of 44 SRC students headed down to Cann River by coach to interact with students from Cann River P-12 College and Mallacoota P-12 College. We played a series of sports including netball, soccer, basketball and Volleyball. Even though the weather was hot everyone still gave it their best and in the end had a great time. It was great to see everyone offering to help serve and prepare lunch. It was also a good chance for SRC, Mallacoota and Cann River to get to know each other and share stories with past students that came to SRC in term 4 2008. Thank you to everyone that helped organise today, especially the sports committee because we all had a great time making new friends out in the sun. |

Here at SRC we have been very lucky. For the past few days David Tatnall, a very renowned photographer, has taken time to share a fraction of his extensive knowledge with us all. David Tatnall has been a professional photographer for over 30 years and has been commissioned to take photographs all over the world for different organizations and companies. In our first photography class he shared his passion for work with us, by showing a number of photos he had taken throughout the years and explaining what makes a good photo. After that class everyone was inspired and raring to get out and take some great shots. We were given the opportunity over the following days. In our expo groups we had classes with David. He firstly he showed us all how to use the settings on a SLR camera such as the aperture, the shutter speed and the zoom. All this was very new to most of us, as we are not used to using film cameras, we are used to our automatic digital cameras. To get some great shots we travelled a short distance to West Cape. The shores of West Cape were covered with interesting rock formations which made a great location for our newly discovered photography fetish. We were split into groups and given one roll of film and from then on, it was up to us to decide what we wanted to capture. We were spoilt for choice, with the magical blue sky, the sun shining off the rippled ocean, the rock pools and the amazing rock formations. I loved using film cameras as it really makes you think about what you want to take a photo of, instead of just snapping away and deleting anything you don’t like. We were very privileged to have such an experienced and enthusiastic teacher to help us and give us tips. I can’t wait to see our results when they get back from being developed! |
On Sunday the 25th October, 2B set out on their first expo. It started off as a pretty good day and the weather was holding up for us, so we set out for Dock Inlet. We decided to go via the beach the first day, then bush the second. |
