Our High School Orientation 2016
Last Wednesday, Year 6 students went to Bomaderry
High School. They enjoyed a range of different taster
sessions from subjects that they will be enjoying next
year. These included Agriculture, Food Tech, Textiles
and Science. First up we went to Agriculture where
we got to see baby chickens, calves and sheep. We
also saw some quails and the veggie patch. We were
weighed on scales like moo cows! In Science they
talked about biology, physics and chemistry. We got
fuzzy hair from 4000 volts, saw a Port Jackson
shark’s tooth and egg and made coloured flame.
Food Tech was fun; we got to decorate cakes with
yumdant, I mean fondant. Next we went to Textiles
and threaded sewing machines. It’s harder than it
looks. After that it was lunch - yummy yummy
sausage sandwiches. It was a great day and it made
us look forward to the future.
