Year 10 students were introduced to all things CAS by the Year 12 students, who were delivering this workshop with dedication, commitment and great tips for the Year 10’s.
They had various activities to complete and rotated around each of the Year 12 presenters and they came together at the end for an overview of all the groups different ideas.
CAS WORKSHOP - INTRODUCING THE YEAR 10 Students TO CAS
In Term 3, as part of their study of The Three Musketeers, 7a used Gen Alpha slang to summarise the play.
The class had studied an English version of this French classic and we worked collaboratively to summarise the main points of this literary great.

One day in provincial France, D’Arty gets clipped by his father. He’s practising to become one of the musketeers, so moves to Paris. On the way, he gets cooked by Rochefort and rizzes up Milady, who’s trying to catfish him.
In Paris, the King and Queen are not being sigma because the Queen rizzed up some English lad. D’Arty mews on Rochefort and The Three Musketeers mog D’Arty but then he gets to join their gang.

Last term Year 7 students learnt about Energy and Forces. In this lesson they used the spring scale to measure the friction force in Newtons and considered the impact of increasing the friction of the surface they were dragging their box along.
They will be using a spreadsheet to record, graph and analyse their data to form a valid conclusion to their investigation.

Im letzten Quartal lernten die SchülerInnen der Klasse 7 etwas über Energie und Kräfte. Sie verwendeten die Federwaage, um die Reibungskraft in Newton zu messen, und überlegten, wie sich die Erhöhung der Reibung der Oberfläche, über die sie ihre Kiste zogen, auswirken würde.
Sie werden eine Tabellenkalkulation verwenden, um ihre Daten aufzuzeichnen, grafisch darzustellen und zu analysieren, um eine gültige Schlussfolgerung für ihre Untersuchung zu ziehen.

My name is Callum Mapson, I am in Year 10 at GISS and live with Type 1 Diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a chronic condition that affects the production of insulin which you need to convert food into energy, because of this you must externally use insulin and manage it manually which is very difficult. I have had T1D for 6 years now and I have gone through a lot of learning to manage it. I know that it absolutely is a struggle, and it really hurts to know that other people have T1D that can’t manage it well.
JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) is the leading charity in T1D research, and they do many fundraising events to raise money and awareness for T1D. I have done multiple fundraisers with JDRF to raise money for T1D research and I am continuing to do this. For two days in November, I will be doing the Kids in the House (KITH) program. In this program I and many other kids with T1D will go to Parliament House to advocate for continued funding into T1D clinical research. With a joined effort from many people, we can change how T1D affects people and eventually we might end it completely.
In the holidays before the KITH program, I met up with my local MP Dr Sophie Scamps. My mother and I had a meeting with Dr Sophie Scamps to ask her for her support in asking the Health Minister to continue to fund the Clinical Research Network. We also asked Dr Sophie Scamps to put her signature to JDRF’s letter backing the T1D relevant recommendations from the July 2024 Diabetes report by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Health, Aged Care and Sport. We also invited her to lunch in the Great Hall at Parliament House during KITH.
As this KITH brings over 100 families from all over Australia to our nation’s capital, I’ve set up a fundraising page to help fund for many of these families who might be struggling to attend KITH so that together we can help the T1D cause. No matter how big or small a donation is, it still really helps.

Thank you in advance for your donations.
