Our Years 7 and 8 boys have been exploring digital stories in their Library lessons. This is a great way to introduce them to a different reading experience.
Look at the house these boys built using the BFG Giant Playing Cards!
Last year James - one of our Old Boys - very generously gave up his time each week to come in and work with some of the Year 9 boys on building and flying a quadcopter.
Since then, he has moved on to flying his own plane!!
During the holidays the Lilley Centre was used to host part of the
Australian National Choral Association’s Choralfest 2017.

The culmination of a unit of work occurred last night with the Year 5 Savvy Scientist evening. Boys have been honing their research skills and learning about the legacy of famous scientists. Each student took on the role of his scientist and became this person for the night.
Boys have learnt about the Information Process, how to use our online encylcopedia Britannica School, as well as how to process and synthesise information. All three teacher librarians have been on hand to assist with the learning process.

Year 12 Barbershop Group
The Senior Vocal Sextet are six Year 12 Grammar boys, who have been together as a group since the beginning of the year, continuing the recent tradition of a senior chamber vocal ensemble which the school has maintained.
Year 12 Barbershop Group
These boys have performed at a number of events, including at end-of-term music concerts, various school functions throughout the year and the premier music concert of the year - Grammar in Concert.
Media Team
Most of these boys are part of the Digital Media Club, and are very skilled cameramen. Their role is to help out with photographing, filming and editing the videos ready to go up onto the TED YouTube chanel.
Our 2017 Tea Duel will now be held on the last Thursday lunchtime of this term.
