Making a Swiss Roll - Learn to Live 18th September 2013

Today the recipe was Swiss Roll and the results were amazing and they obviously tasted pretty good as they became the impromptu lunch for many.

The finished product

Learn to Live Semester 2 2013 - Week 8

This week the Year 9 Learn to Live Class have been making sponge cakes as part of their assessment task for this programme. It was an interesting set of classes with some unique approaches to the practicalities of cake making. Actually reading a recipe properly - or maybe at all - would be a great staring point. Despite this the results were all rather impressive and as Carys Gee, Casja Davies and Chloe-Lee Short can confirm, rather yummy.

Week 8 TED Point Leader Board

The week 8 TED points have been counted and there are some changes at the top of the leader-board with Kyle Kjellgren leaping to the top with 20 points. That is a great effort Kyle and you are throwing down a challenge to those behind you.

10 pin bowling 28th August 2013

On the 28th August 9 Fortis Flyers -  students from our gold and silver academic achievers from Semester 1 - accompanied by Mrs Harrison Ismay joined Miss Panikoula and her group of Blaze high achievers for a fun afternoon 10 pin bowling at the local bowling alley. With some friendly rivalry and varying degrees of skill [expertise?] and some very interesting techniques - two handed, through the legs, throw the ball as hard as we can, roll gently... it was game on :)
With the incentive of a TED point for every strike scored bowlers tried to score that elusive all pins down with the first ball. Weilin, Shania and Ashlee all managed to score 1 apiece and Weilin scored the highest score to be the Fortis champ for this round. We look forward to a return competition when the semester 2 awards are presented.

It was a lovely afternoon and all the students were a credit to the school and themselves. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.
