Farewell m88 com live casino register

In recent weeks I have allowed myself to be distracted to not only reflect upon an academic year’s worth of achievement for students of Hills International College, but on my entire time at m88 com live casino register since 2010.

The College has grown significantly in numbers, with a true waiting list in Prep where not every applicant can find a position. Building projects have begun, and some have been completed. The HPE facility and the Beach Volleyball courts are finally being used, and it is wonderful to have the Awards ceremony 2024 in this space and have the entire school seated m88 com live casino register presentations.

Parents, I thank you for choosing Hills College as the institution of education for your children and for standing shoulder to shoulder with members m88 com live casino register College academic and pastoral faculties in the holistic education of your children. Whilst there will always be challenges along the journey, the outcomes are almost always testimony to the important collaboration that exists in the Hills community.

I thank all teachers and support staff at Hills College for their dedication to their total approach to teaching. I ask that you take the time to express your thanks to individual teachers when the opportunity arises, for they are the major players in your child’s overall happiness at m88 com live casino register.

To the graduating Class of 2024, I trust that you take many life-long memories with you. Some of you have been with us since Prep – 8 of you in fact - and others joined us more recently. I wish you all the very best as you leave Hills College, and I trust that we have prepared you well m88 com live casino register next stage of your journey – whether that be locally, nationally, or internationally, and that you make good decisions as you find your path through life.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the Captains of College m88 com live casino register, who have led the school superbly.

m88 com live casino register end, we are all simply passing through. I am confident thatI leave the College in a better place than when I joined.

My mission is complete, and I wish the College all the best m88 com live casino register future.I'll miss you, but I look forward to the next chapter of my life.

It was an absolute joy to reflect with pride during m88 com live casino register Awards Ceremony last Friday. Congratulations to all our students who received awards, recognising their outstanding commitment to doing their personal best and striving for success. It was also an honour to introduce our 2025 Primary Captains, Mason Watson and Maanya Balusu, supported by our Vice Captains, Brooklyn Marcus, and Levi Whaley. I also extend my commendations to our newly appointed House Captains for 2025, whose leadership and enthusiasm will undoubtedly shine across co-curricular activities, the arts, and sports.

This week, we celebrated two significant milestones in our school community: the graduations of our youngest students in Prep and our Year 6 cohort. It was a privilege to connect with families and share in these special moments, marking the beginning and end of their Primary school journeys. To our Year 6 students, what a fantastic venue to celebrate their achievements and reflect on their time in Primary. I am grateful for the way they have represented as role models and ambassadors for the rest m88 com live casino register Primary school.

Teachers have carefully considered a range of factors when organising students into their classes for next year, and I thank them for their professionalism and dedication.

Your understanding and support are greatly appreciated.

On Thursday, 28 November, we will hold our Connect Morning, where current Year 1–6 students will spend Period 1 with their 2025 teacher and classmates, familiarising themselves with their new classrooms.

m88 com live casino register 2024

On Monday Week 7, at the 11th hour, m88 com live casino register 11th day, m88 com live casino register 11thmonth, Hills College and its wider community commemorated the soldiers who served to protect their people, and homelands. This day is a somber reminder of sacrifice and loss, but also the importance of reflection, striving for peace, and showing gratitude.

This year’s Remembrance Day hosted the first college-wide assembly in the recently completed HPE Centre, featuring traditions such as the Australian flag hoisted at half-mast during the time of commemoration, as well as some subtle differences. For this year’s Remembrance Day, The Last Post by Arthur Lane was transposed for piano and played with gravitas by Year 11 studentMax Garner. Other traditions featured included the Primary and Secondary school captains reciting the poem "In Flanders’ Fields", wreaths rested at the base m88 com live casino register flagpole, and the most recognisable floral symbol of commemoration; the poppies worn on people’s shirts.

We would like to thank the soldiers and veterans who served m88 com live casino register during World War One, but those who remain in active duty, or in reserves to this day to protect either their own, or the countries of others.

Technologies m88 com live casino register

It has been another busy term m88 com live casino register Technologies department with students engaging in a range of learning contexts across Design Technologies and Digital Technologies.

Amongst the many projects students have engaged with, they m88 com live casino register the opportunity to get ‘hands-on’ technologies, including microcontrollers, robotic vehicles and electric model cars. Her is a quick snapshot of just a few…

In Digital Technologies, our Year 7 students have worked with the microbit controllers to plan and build an electronic game. m88 com live casino register were required to develop a concept for their game, build the game and circuitry, as well as develop the code that would control the game and give feedback to the player.

Oliver's game.  The micro:bit controls the duration m88 com live casino register game (uses a timer).  He is also setting up danger zones - areas if travelled result in the game stopping.

Xiaoou's buzz wire is very interactive.  While not touching the wire, a happy face displays on the face m88 com live casino register micro:bit.  If the wire is touched, the face changes expression to a sad face.  Also, the micro:bit is set to a 30 second timer and code has been written to tally how many times the user can get across from one side to the other in the 30 second period.

Maurice's game uses the shake command.  How successful he is at fishing depends on this.  He has to cast the line.  The micro:bit will display a fish or a cross.  After a while, Maurice will get a number m88 com live casino register number of fish caught.

Our Year 9 Digital Technologies students explored the world of robotic and autonomous vehicles. They experimented with programming a robotic vehicle to simulate real-world applications. Examples include robotic delivery systems, home automation and applications for robotic vehicles in agriculture, exploration and industry. m88 com live casino register developed code to instruct their robot to respond to line tracking and obstacle avoidance using ultrasonic sensors. In addition, m88 com live casino register used AI vision sensors to train their robot to recognise and respond to colours, objects and April Tags.

In Digital Technologies m88 com live casino register 9 class investigated the technologies context area of Engineered Systems. The students built their own electric model car, including electric circuits, DC motors and 3-D printed parts. The students were able to select various gearing ratios to test the performance of their vehicle against a range of criteria such as speed, acceleration and towing capacity.

2024: A year m88 com live casino register in review

Every year will have its ups and downs. While there were goodbyes and very strong highlight moments, this year celebrates the college’s largest growth in community. Throughout the year, the college has welcomed not only the incorporation of more events, such as the increased number of Volleyball Cups and Staff vs Student events, new traditions, but also the return of longstanding college events. The immensely popular Colour Fun Run returned after a four-year hiatus due to COVID-19 outbreaks, and the opening m88 com live casino register HPE Centre saw a return to college-wide Awards Days, as well as an enthusiastic game of Student versus Staff basketball.

Congratulations to all students and members of staff throughout m88 com live casino register, with countless events for students to participate in to bring the best opportunities. We wish all of you a restful holiday: See you all in late January for Term 1 2025!

While there were countless high points throughout the year, all good things must come to an end. On behalf of all students, we’d like to thank our Principal, Mr. Lynch and our math and science teacher, Ms. Stojanovic for their support of students and m88 com live casino register’s aspirations for almost two decades. We will miss you, we wish you all the very best in your retirement, and we hope that you will reflect back on your time at Hills with fondness and pride.

Finally, m88 com live casino register all of our Hills community a joyful and restorative break, and look forward to welcoming you back in 2025!

m88 com live casino register Competition – Latest News

As I write this article we are heading towards the deadline m88 com live casino register House Star Weaving Competition. This is the first year that we have run the competition, and I want to say a big 'thank you' to staff and secondary students for becoming so actively involved and embracing the competition with such enthusiasm! You will have had three weeks to weave as many stars as possible in your House colour to contribute towards the global ‘One Billion Stars to end violence’ project. The current number of stars woven by our school community so far is 2,981. A remarkable effort!

It has been wonderful to see so many people weaving in the Resource Centre at lunchtimes and in the mornings during Connection time. With weaving comes conversation, a sense of belonging to a community, and the feeling of compassion as students and staff teach each other how to weave a star. We are also reminded m88 com live casino register reason we are participating in this project as we, as a community, collectively take a stand against all forms of violence.

"m88 com live casino register One Billion Stars project, the 8-pointed star is a symbol of light, courage, hope and solidarity to end all forms of violence, including violence against women, bullying and racism" - Maryann Talia Pau.

By the end m88 com live casino register second week m88 com live casino register competition, over 500 stars were woven by the four Houses. Rolls of ribbon ‘flew’ out m88 com live casino register Art room this week as we struggled to keep up with the demand and something tells me that it’ll be close to another 500 stars from this week alone.

Uluru is currently in the lead with an amazing 251 stars woven by the end m88 com live casino register second week! Having said that, anything could happen during the last few days m88 com live casino register competition. The winning House will be announced during next week’s secondary assembly.
