Mr Butchart’s 7/8 Drama group proudly display their new Tshirts bought for their upcoming performance “Neighbours Away”. The group have been working on the script since term two and will be performing for audiences later this term.
The play is a parody of Australian soap operas and has lots of characters people will recognise from TV soaps from the last 40 years.
The class are working very hard at learning their lines, creating their characters and working together in a large ensemble. Keep an eye out for future information in the newsletter as the performance date gets closer.

7C and 7E English are studying a Fractured Fairy Tales Unit. We have gained an understanding of what makes a fairy tale and how the original stories have adapted over time. We have been building our collaboration and oral language skills to research and present information to our classmates. Later in the unit, we will focus on developing our analysis skills and constructing our own fractured fairy tales.
The above students are from 7G Humanities class. For the first half of the year students have investigated our ancient past and learnt about the water cycle and many issues around water. They have completed group research tasks on different Ancient Civilizations and made presentations to their peers. Students have developed research skills in conducting their own research on water from unique case studies in Northern Africa.

Outdoor Projects have had a great term. Students have completed a paving stone with letters or numbers of their choosing engraved into the surface and have gone on to complete a bird house of their own design given a limited supply of timber. Final products have reflected the student’s enthusiasm and energy! Next on the agenda is concrete pot plants and micro bat houses!
The 2019 Northern Secondary Readers’ Cup, in conjunction with ASLA (Australian School Library Association) is being held on Friday 20 September. We are looking for an amazing QHS team to compete this year and hopefully reclaim the trophy won last year. We require 4—6 students to make a team, 2 of which must be G7. The team will be required to read 7 novels, answer quiz questions at the competition on all titles and present a time-limited creative response including 3 or more titles in the set list.
All interested students please see Mrs. Honey in the Library for further details and information regarding the 7 novels to read, the outline of expectation and information on forming our Queechy High School Readers’ Cup team for 2019.
