\"\"<\/a>What\u2019s happening in Newman?<\/span><\/h4>\n

Students are well and truly settled into their new look classes and have started submitting their assessment tasks. I have been able to visit various classes this term and chat to students about their new class, their learning and their wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Year 7 Science they have been introduced to working in the lab and looking at measurement- how to measure using different instruments, how to measure accurately- all important skills in collecting data in science. Year 8 Science is looking at ecosystems and adaptations following their zoo excursion, and using AI to generate aliens for their assessment task.Yr 9 are tackling the rigours of Maths, with 30 students undertaking the Accelerated Maths course. This means students are completing Year 9 and 10 Maths this year and will start the Yr 11 Prelim course next year in Year 10, then completing the HSC Maths exam a year early- what an achievement! Year 10 English students are grappling with the text \u201cTo Kill a Mockingbird\u201d and learning how to annotate and look for meaning between the lines, as well as understanding context.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students are tracked beyond Year 10 once they have left the Newman program. I track all data and the wellbeing of former Newman students across Stage 6 to ensure they are working to their potential. Over the past 2 weeks I have met with former Year 10 Newman students who are now in Year 11 to discuss their transition to Stage 6 and the demands of being a senior student. Girls created a PMI outlining the positives such as new and interesting subjects, the building of relationships with teachers, new opportunities for socialisation as well as the minus- increased workload. Some interesting points made were mixing with students they had never mixed with in junior years. The feedback will be given to Year 11 students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attached are various photos of our Newman girls in action.<\/span><\/p>\n
