Year 6 Open Evening – UPDATE FOR FAMILIES

By Julie Mosley14th October 2022

We would like to pass on our appreciation to all of the families that came to our events these last two evenings. Over the two evenings we were visited by over 300 people. Our students led the events with presentations on important aspects of our model, as ambassadors taking visitors on tour and answering questions about their school.

We are so proud of the way that our students demonstrated how they can lead their learning with over half of our students involved in the event.

Again thanks to all of the families that attended as this gave our existing students another opportunity to learn that there is ‘more in them than they know’.

We are sorry that given our temporary accommodation we were not able to host more families across the two nights. A reminder that we will be posting a series of associated videos and answering questions from the evening on our website next week.

 

 

Getting Smart at XPG: Beautiful work from Jason

By Emmy Tatters13th October 2022

Here is the perfect example of how we get smart at XPG!

Jason in Y7 received some feedback on a recent assessment and decided to take this away, check the rubric and have another go at it, taking that feedback onboard to ensure he could securely meet the learning target.

Well done for getting smart by taking responsibility for your learning, Jason!

Beautiful artwork from G29

By Martin Said15th September 2022

Students in G29 have now completed the immersion to their new expedition including some pencil sketching in Art. We will be sharing some of that beautiful work very soon. Students have also been keen to show some of their own artwork from home too. Here is some wonderful rotoscope style footy artwork from Ben M, and a beautiful big cat from Lyra.

Beautiful work indeed!

Beautiful Work from G28 Students – Miners’ Gala

By Martin Said12th July 2022

We could not be more proud of our G28 volunteers that helped promote our book at the Miners’ Gala this weekend.

Students spoke with confidence to members of public about their work, why it is important to continue to tell the stories of our cultural heritage and clocked up some pretty decent sales figures too.

Members of the public were blown away by how articulate our students were and there were very emotional moments as students spoke to members of the mining community specifically.

First class work from Ethan, Mason, Beth, Daniel, Daniel, Charlie, Elyse, Isla, Katie, Maddie, Betsy, Daria and Jessica!
