The Year 8 Project Showcase is always an exciting moment in the calendar for Year 8 students. It represents the culmination of a whole year's work on a project of their own choosing and design and is an important step on the journey up into high school. This year, we had a wonderful collection of projects ranging from chicken coops to boxing gloves to stop motion films with all kinds of artworks, books and other wonderful ideas in between. The quality of the projects was very high and it was such a wonderful feeling to be able to stand back and observe each student talking proudly about their work to all the visitors on the day. 

As we walked around the projects on Sunday, we couldn't help but notice how each project reflected not only the work the students put in (and yes, the challenges and setbacks too!), but also who they are, what they see and value in the world and in themselves as growing young people. We'd like to acknowledge all the hard work of the Year 8 families in helping the students to bring this together. We're extremely proud of everything the students have done.
