Secondary Insights
As we navigate through Term 1 in Secondary at Hills College, I am excited to share highlights from our recent Year 8 to 11 Camps, and extend a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful Parents and Friends (P&F) at Hills College for m88 live casino games unwavering support.
Our m88 live casino games in Year 8, Year 9, Year 10 and Year 11, recently embarked on the much-anticipated annual camps, where experiential learning programs were designed to foster resilience, teamwork and leadership. Over the three days, our m88 live casino games were engaged in a variety of activities, each crafted to push their boundaries and enhance their personal growth. Year 12 also embraced some activity both at the College and away from the College during the first three days of this week.
Over the coming weeks, we hope the transformation we witnessed in our m88 live casino games will continue to be the start of their growth journey. They returned with not just newfound skills and confidence, but also with stories of perseverance, camaraderie and self-discovery. Such experiences are invaluable; they teach lessons that extend far beyond the confines of a classroom, preparing our young learners for the complexities of the world with grace and adaptability.
In the next edition of our Hills Times, more anecdotal comments from m88 live casino games will be available as well as accompanying photos.
Further to this and in the backdrop of these enriching student experiences is the incredible work of our P & F Association. This dedicated group of parents and friends of the school has been instrumental in not just supporting events but also in fostering a sense of community and belonging among our m88 live casino games and their families.
Through fundraising, event organization, and countless volunteer hours, our P & F Association has contributed significantly to the enrichment of our school's culture and the enhancement of our educational programs. Their efforts have provided essential resources, supported extracurricular opportunities, and helped create an environment where every student can thrive. The new Secondary seating is an example of their support for our m88 live casino games in this wonderful community. Aheartfelt thank you to our P and F.
If there is anything you m88 live casino games to know about Secondary, please do not hesitate to call reception for a meeting or just email me for a response to your questions.

Teaching and m88 live casino games - Digital Technologies
In this edition of the Hills Times, we feature some of the wonderful work being undertaken by our teachers and learners in Technologies. The Technologies learning area comprises the subjects of Design and Technologies, as well as Digital Technologies. In these subjects, m88 live casino games apply Design Thinking and Computational Thinking process to explore and address real-world problems. The m88 live casino games undertake a range of learning experiences to build their understanding and practical skills to become critical and creative problem-solvers.
In Digital Technologies, m88 live casino games build 21st Century skills in problem solving and computational thinking.
Our Year 7 students are engaged in a cross-curricular unit called Digital Creators. Students are taking on the role of a digital content creator, building a website in HTML and CSS to showcase m88 live casino games, graphics and videos they are creating in Media Arts.
The exciting field of game development is the perfect subject for our Year 8 m88 live casino games to learn real-world skills in coding with Javascript. The m88 live casino games are creating games involving complex sprite movements and animations, whilst developing their understanding of computational thinking and conditional logic.
The online world is rich with interactive content that is powered by Javascript. Our Year 9 and 10 learners are taking on the role of interactive content creators to develop websites that engage the user through the use of interactive elements. The m88 live casino games are building websites that are designed to educate for fellow m88 live casino games, or to align with their future career aspirations.
Senior ICT m88 live casino games have the opportunity to build knowledge and skills that can be applied in the real world of the ICT industry. Our Year 11s are flexing their technical and creative powers as they undertake a layout and publishing unit, in which they are learning about industry standard hardware and software processes.
Year 12 m88 live casino games are focusing on educating our young mathematicians, by planning and producing a web-based probability and statistics game. This task requires the m88 live casino games to understand the needs of their user, design effective algorithms, and develop workable code to test and refine their digital solution.
Technologies Co-Curricular: Robotics
In 2024, secondary m88 live casino games have been offered an additional option for Activities – Robotics, utilising Lego EV3. This activity is designed to be project-orientated, building not only STEM skills but also developing collaborative teamwork and problem-solving. The m88 live casino games are engaged in constructing a robotic vehicle, then coding it to perform specific tasks, such as follow a designated path, pick up and place items and to independently navigate around obstacles.
The College STEM Ambassadors have assisted in preparing materials, developing tracks and supporting m88 live casino games when working with their robots. Interested m88 live casino games will be provided with the opportunity to compete against other schools at the RoboCup Junior event held in June. We also look forward to engaging m88 live casino games in further robotics competitions and co-curricular activities across 2024.

This learning outcome enabled the m88 live casino games to acquire and demonstrate food preparation skills by preparing and cooking pizza toast. These skills included weighing, measuring, grating, slicing, spreading, and using a hot oven. m88 live casino games were encouraged to consider design factors, like, economically sourcing ingredients and minimising wastage, reducing costs without compromising flavour, and calculating the nutritional value of the product.
Ms Rachel Carter
Design andTechnologies Teacher
In Design Technology m88 live casino games across different grades are immersed in diverse and impactful projects.
Year 7 m88 live casino games are currently undertaking a Food Specialisation unit, learning about safe and sustainable food production, as well as building valuable skills in food preparation and cooking. This term’s assessment task has the m88 live casino games exploring the nutritional and practical aspects of planning and making their own unique pizza creation.
Year 8 are tackling the challenge of m88 live casino games packaging, experimenting with eco-friendly materials and designs.
Year 9 are deeply engaged in understanding the environmental consequences m88 live casino games meat industry, prompting thoughtful reflections on personal choices and ecological footprints.
Year 10 are honing m88 live casino games baking skills, delving into the precision and experimentation of culinary arts.
Meanwhile, our Year 11 and 12s are navigating their senior Design syllabus, applying accumulated knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems. This comprehensive approach not only nurtures creative thinking and problem-solving but also instils a sense of responsibility and passion for innovation in our m88 live casino games, preparing them for the broader design landscape.

STEAM Ambassadors -STEM run activity with Year 3s - m88 live casino games
Marking this as a weekly occurrence, our STEM team sponsored another activity centered on food science and nutrition for the Year 3 unit “How the World works” on 21 February. This particular experiment utilised grapes and toothpicks for an activity called Grape Molecules to teach the m88 live casino games basic chemistry, more specifically the chemical formula and structure of water, in an engaging and interactive manner.
The children were particularly eager during this activity, enthusiastically creating more complex molecules and compounds after completing the structure of water, which led to an unplanned, yet successful, race between the groups of m88 live casino games for who could build the best structure. Overall, this simple activity was received extremely well and promoted science in an enjoyable way, encouraging love for STEM in our primary m88 live casino games.
