French, Debating, and parents go back to school.

Bon appétit!

Learning languages can take many forms, as shown by our students from Kindy to Year 6, engaging in authentic and innovative learning experiences throughout 2018. Activities are planned according to the interest and needs of the students in each year of their development. Our Kindy students love socialising with puppets and upper primary students enjoy using technology in open-ended projects that encourage creativity and critical thinking.

Year 6 cooked up a storm in French Class last term in our very first Masterchef ‘A la française’. Students researched, cooked and presented the recipe of their choice to the class in a live cooking show setting. They also used green screen technology to upgrade the videos with the insertion of a realistic background …et voilà! Bon appétit!

Undebatable

Our Senior debaters had a stellar year in 2018, culminating in the Year 11/12 combined team taking out the state champion title at the West Australian Debating Competition in September.

The team of Clancy Ellery (Year 11), Vivian Tan (Year 12) and Eliza Smith (Year 12) debated the topic “that scientists should politicise their research on controversial subjects” against Perth Modern School in a tightly contested debate.

Eliza Smith, who competed for WA and was included in the Australian Debating Team this year, was also named the best debater in the overall competition.

Our Junior School Debaters also experienced great success, taking out first place in the GOZONE Debating Inter-School Competition for the second year in a row against St Mary’s, Loreto Nedlands Primary and Presbyterian Ladies College Junior School.

St Hilda's Night School

We welcomed parents back to school one September evening for the inaugural Night School at our Bay View Campus.

Parents engaged in current curriculum workshops at our Bay View Campus in the areas of Tweens and Teens, Working Mathematically, Fitness, Cool Chemistry, and Wellbeing, as well as experienced our facilities first-hand and got to know our teachers in a new light.
