Stage 1 Creative Arts
Outfits were accessorised with wigs, hats and make-up as characters evolved. Then into the studio where the photo was taken by one of the other students using all the skills they had learned back at school. A final lesson was used to discuss and give feedback on the photoshoot. Great work, great fun and lots of learning. Thanks to Will Hoffmann for his expertise and assistance. Winsome Jobling |

Contact VisitsBorroloola School In May, I visited six of our students who are located at Borroloola School. The students are completing Stage 2 Creative Arts. Here is some photos of their artwork. Winsome Jobling
Groote Eylandt - Alyangula Area School In May I had the pleasure of visiting and working with some students located at Alyangula Area School. They worked very hard to finish their respective courses by the end of this semester. To show their appreciation, Sean, Johnson and Tineka took me around the school, including their impressive commercial kitchen. Lenny
Yulara School From the 12 - 14 June, we visited four of our students at Yulara School. The school is newly painted and it looks beautiful. Our students have their own classroom that is shared with Alice Springs School of the Air students, and they work independently amongst an idyllic setting. A highlight of the visit was Anthony’s mum cooking us lunch. It was delicious! Our students: Hunter, Gayle, Josh and Anthony, are doing well and we are looking forward to seeing them when they visit Darwin for Residential School. After hours, we visited Uluru and completed the ‘base walk’ by running 10.6km around the outside of the rock. Dave Armstrong and Vanessa Cuttriss
Tennant Creek - Physics Workshop In June I was very fortunate to visit Rovin and Denver at Tennant Creek High School, as they progress through their learning of Stage 2 Physics. There were two objectives:
It was an intensive two and a half days, and I am proud of how the students conducted themselves. I particularly applaud their diligence when gathering their practical results, the depth of their questions, and their enthusiasm. With some support, Rovin and Denver are in the process of analysing their results using video analysis software, to determine the relationship between the current flowing through the Helm Holtz coils, and the radius of curvature of the electrons.

Edu TechOur staff members; Will, John, Vanessa and Anthony, attended the EduTECH Congress and Expo in Sydney from the 6 - 7 June. They had a great time viewing the exhibitions and testing the robotics, drones, 3D printing and virtual reality on offer. They were captivated and intrigued by the key speakers including:
EduTECH is the largest education event in the southern hemisphere with over 250 exhibits and 220 speakers.

Stage 2 Research ProjectYear 11 students can enrol into Stage 2 Research Project! Year 11 students will begin this subject in Semester 2 and continue completing it in 2020. Here is some information about the subject. Did you know that you can make a product in Research Project? In the past, students have made graduation dresses, drawn portraits and landscapes, and produced travel booklets and itineraries. Products need to be accompanied with the evidence of all your wonderful research. Research Project is a great opportunity to study an area of your own interest. Students have presented their findings in essays, reports, magazine articles... even letters to the Prime Minister! For more information, see our Subject Handbook (page 108) To enrol, please contact our coordinator Selina Blyton on:

Year 10 CampOne of the highlights of our Year 10 Wellbeing Program was our first Year 10 Camp held from 8 – 11 April. Students and staff were provided with an exciting, memorable, engaging and invaluable learning experience! The six students involved had the unique opportunity to develop and use their personal, behavioural, social, and cognitive skills to promote a sense of personal identity and wellbeing.
L-R: Jerry, Peggy Magee, Kai Woodall, Claire Pagenstecher, Kelsy-Lee Beyer, Cory Hoffrichter, Ms Cuttriss, Michelle (Absent: Anthony Daria) The students travelled in from as far as Yulara to the Adventure Bound NT camp site which is situated on ~1000 acres of natural bush land bordered by the Mary River National Park and Mary River flood plains. Our students and staff were actively involved in the following activities that targeted enhancing respectful relationships:
Students' favourite part of the camp was making new friends and building stronger relationships with their teachers. A very funny moment involved watching Mr Weekes trying really hard to light a fire! A big congratulations to all the students involved who should be really proud of their enthusiasm and resilience skills demonstrated! It is evident in the following short clip that highlights some of the activities completed. Many thanks to the following NTSDE staff for their support: David Armstrong, Andrew Weekes, Will Hoffmann, Stephanie Henry and Toni Smid.
