So QUTE!

Senior School

The QUTE Project officially began! Students donned their coveralls in their first session with Mr Draper in Term 1, assessing and removing certain components of the vehicle (like the radiator – won’t need that in an electric vehicle!). We look forward to watching its development over the coming weeks.

Year 11 Visual Arts had the wonderful experience of working with Jody Graham, an Australian multidisciplinary artist who uses unconventional tools and approaches to draw. Students visited significant sites around Balmoral to create artmaking tools and artworks.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat Senior School
