Where’s the scrutiny over the Thornlie-Cockburn Train Line?

https://www.6pr.com.au/podcast/wheres-the-scrutiny-over-the-thornlie-cockburn-train-line/

The Roe Highway extension received significant media and public scrutiny for the perceived environmental impact.

The Public Transport Authority proposes to construct and operate a new 14.5 kilometre dual railway track to extend the existing Thornlie passenger line to Cockburn Central Station on the Mandurah line.

The proposal would require the clearing of up to 54.9 hectares of native vegetation, including 22.8 ha in Bush Forever areas. Up to 2.85 ha of Banksia Woodland of the Swan Coastal Plain Threatened Ecological Community, 27.64 ha of black cockatoo foraging habitat and 96 potential black cockatoo habitat trees are proposed to be cleared.

Junior Perth footballer to front tribunal over game-day incident

https://www.smh.com.au/national/western-australia/junior-perth-footballer-to-front-tribunal-over-game-day-incident-20190610-p51was.html

A young female footballer who was reportedly given warnings by an umpire during a match over the weekend south of Perth retaliated by punching an umpire in the stomach, according to a witness.

The incident happened on Friday after a girls metro match between the Mandurah Mustangs and the Warnbro Swans, a month after the WA Football Commission issued two life bans following an ugly on-field incident at a another junior football match in Perth.

It’s understood a Mandurah player was involved in the incident, with an anonymous spectator claiming parents became "fired up" and "shouted obscenities" at the umpire after the match.

“The umpire is apparently one of the best and now he’s considering giving it up all together," the witness said.

Digital Art at Murdoch University

Digital Art at Murdoch University

11 June 2019

On Friday 7th June students in Year 7, 8 & 9 who are part of our extracurricular Digital Art Group visited Murdoch University as part of their Creative Outreach Program.

The day provided students with a hands on opportunity to see what pathways are available for those with an interest and talent in working creatively with technology. Two student ambassadors from Murdoch University introduced our students to the hands on activities they would be undertaking, using industry standard equipment and programs.

Our students began the day learning about creating game characters and drawing them in Photoshop on the Interactive Wacom tablets. After recess students were able to explore 3D animation using industry software, Maya. Whilst they didn’t get to animate the physical characters they were challenged to animate facial expressions to match body movements.

After lunch, Subway catering to the delight of the group, they were able to view the work of their student ambassadors. And I have to admit, you can always tell when you take art students out, they always end up drawing. 

Though the weather was not our friend and we had to make some minor changes to our day, it was definitely worthwhile and great for the students to see what they can aspire towards.

At the end of the day they were left with some very wise advice from their hosts -  Practise, Practise and Practise.

Miss Challinger Presents Professional Learning to South Metro Teachers

11 June 2019

At the recent South Metro Schools Professional Learning Day at Murdoch University, CVC Circus Teacher Miss Challinger presented to a number of Arts Teachers from across the South Metro region.

The presentation 'Transforming the Classroom' outlined the ways in which Miss Challinger structures her classes to be student centred and authentic with a focus on what is referred to as ‘soft skills.’ These include cooperation, empathy, collaboration, and problem solving. Miss Challinger breaks these down in to learnable chunks starting in Year 7 and developing student abilities in these areas as they progress through high school.

The presentation was well received by those in attendance, with many of those present taking time to talk further to Miss Challinger at the end of the session.
