I have been at Catholic Education Tasmania meetings this week and have been inspired by a team from the Canberra Goulburn Catholic Education Office invited to present to us.  I am keen to get back to school to discuss with the School Leadership Team how we can refine the high-impact teaching in our classrooms.  The meetings began with the choir from the school hosting us, and I reflected upon how proud the parents of these children should be.  This was followed by the prayer that I share below.  It resonated with me, and I share it here to sustain us as we meet the challenge and reap the joy of raising our children.

Our Senior Physics students are studying the structure of the atom. While we don’t have the high-tech equipment to view atoms, the students made models of various historical atom models, using nerf guns to simulate firing alpha particles as the atoms

Next Thursday 1st September SBSC will be hosting the annual University of Tasmania’s Ossa Music Prize and People’s Choice Award concert.

Any music students who wish to attend the concert must email Mr Peters at gpeters@sbsc.tas.edu.au by next Tuesday the 30th of August to secure a seat at the concert. 

This year the Ossa Music Prize was won by two UTAS students. Sophia Mitchell and Jamie Willson impressed the judges with their amalgamation of French horn and percussion (specifically vibraphone, marimba and junk percussion) in a chamber ensemble not commonly seen in a performance together.
