Secondary News
Worawa Aboriginal College
Boys recount excerpts
We really enjoyed the talk from tour guide Lisa, I enjoyed it because she explained everything thoroughly to everyone and had some pretty cool stories and sightings. Ilhan Daic 7B
After an educational presentation, we went for a walk on the Dreaming Trail and learnt about the plants, survival tactics and more about the Aboriginal beliefs. Abdul-Rahman 7B
When we got there we met a woman whose name was Lisa and she was from the aboriginal tribe Nyunga. First, she told us about all the different stuff in the room then she told us an extremely touching story about the stolen generation and how one of them was related to her. Bilal Niazi 7B
Most of the fun was having lunch with the girls at the college and playing basketball with them. They were really good. Next time I play with them I should get lots of practice. Mohammad Ghafari 7B
We learned a lot. Mostly everyone felt sorry for the Aboriginals but we were also overjoyed and inspired by the amount of faith in the Aborigines. We also learnt about a few aboriginal stories. Ali Abbas 7B
Girls recounts excerpts
We went to visit the girls at Worawa College, who were very caring and lovely. They were also very sporty. Lisa, the Gallery Manager and teacher told such interesting stories and we learned a lot about Aboriginal people and their culture. Zainab Nezami
Lisa spoke about one of her students and how they had been sitting together by a lake. They were discussing her spirit animal. As time went by, a black swan and a white swan flew down and landed on the water. The girl’s spirit animals had visited her at one of the most difficult times in her life – on the death of her mother, a long way from Healesville. Madina Aman
We met the Aboriginal girls who were nice and kind. We made a lot of new friends and learned many new things. Maha Aboucham
The girls at Worawa College are so strong and fast. They are also so good at basketball. I learned a lot of new things. Traditions. Nice things. Lyna Vo
Lisa was an amazing tour guide. She was so professional. She knew everything about her history and about the college – before, after and during the construction of the college. She was also very detailed in her facts. Aminah El-Omari
The highlight of my day was when I played basketball with the indigenous kids. It was funny when the Sirius College boys and girls were about how well they were playing and how kind they were. Bahara Ebrahimi
Yesterday we went to Worawa College in Healesville. It’s a boarding school for girls from all over Australia in Years 7 to 10. The principal was one of the Sapphires and Ms Lisa was the daughter of one of the girls that walked along the Rabbit Proof Fence. Safa Matloub
I liked how we played basketball with them. I liked it, and it was very emotional. I liked how they welcomed us. I liked how they let us play. Nigina Qalandari
My highlight was getting to play basketball against them. To my surprise, they were really fast and good at basketball. Diya Babu
The highlight of the excursion was definitely having lunch with the Aboriginal girls. It was lovely meeting the girls. I really enjoyed playing basketball with them; although, they were unbeatable! Aliya Neama
Their normal throw is like our best shot at throwing that no one can ever get! Zumra Safak
On Tuesday, we went to Worawa College. It’s a school for indigenous girls. We learnt about the spirit makers and tribes. We had lunch there and played basketball with the girls. Tabarac Albadri
Indigenous Australians recognise seven seasons, not four. When a child is of six month’s gestation, he or she receives their animal totem, which depends on which season they were in their mother’s womb. Mahnoor Baig
On Tuesday, 7th of March, we went to Worawa College. We learned about a lot of things, like: dreamtime stories, aboriginal history and animal totems. The girls were very kind and very good at sports! Esma Kaya
We went on a Dreamtime Walk. Eimann Fareed
The girls were fantastic at basketball. Personally, I think they should have their own professional team! Fathima Hashim
I really enjoyed the session with Lisa Hodgson and how she talked about her family history. Sitra Feki
When we got to our destination, we were made to think about aboriginal culture; we also had a walk in the dreamtime. Fatima Yasin
We got to listen to all the fascinating stories about Aboriginal history and culture. After that, we went out for lunch and Mr A went out on to the court to ask the girls from Worawa if we could play basketball with them. Amina Zeitoune
The excursion to Worawa College was fun. We got to meet Aboriginal girls, learn about aboriginal culture and we saw many examples of indigenous art. We saw and walked on the Dreamtime Trail, which told us lots of different stories. I hope to visit again one day. Zainab Kusdian
Visiting Worawa College was really cool, and I’d never been to a boarding school before. Something that was interesting was meeting Aboriginal girls who are my age. Watching them play basketball was amazing! They were so fast, sometimes I couldn’t even see the ball. The sad part of the day was talking about the Stolen Generation. I really loved the excursion, and would love to do something like that again. Samah Newaz
It was sad when I heard that they were taken away from their homes and brought to a mission. They had to figure everything out by themselves. Nigishah Ali
It was a remarkable experience that I will cherish forever. Donya Wahidi
The drive to Worawa College was very long, but it was worth it! The college views were amazing. We learned so much, and everyone was so nice. There was a brilliant gallery and it was fun to learn about the diversity of Aboriginal culture. Elvedina Brkic

Year 7 Design Elements
Design:
Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system or measurable human interaction. Students were asked to design something simple like their front cover, they incorporated elements that where meaningful in their life. They looked at their personal interest, as well as elements that made up their personality. Students were also asked to re-design a celebrity portrait through observational drawing.
Design Elements
Design Elements are the basic units of a painting, drawing, design or other visual pieces. They are a second nature habit, which we unconsciously use not only to create art work but also in every day routine. These processes include:
Design Elements:
Colour
Shape
Texture
Space
Form
Year 7 & 8 Textiles
Dry Felting:
Dry Felting is a unique process where there is no needle and thread involved. Instead felt is used as a base where wool and a special designed needled is used to create some of the works Year 7&8 student’s art designs. There are many avenues to textiles, Dry Felting is only but one.

Year 7/8 Research Science
Students are certainly enjoying Research Science where they get a hands on experience by conducting experiments. They collected water samples and tested the quality of water. Later on they were just amazed when they saw the huge variety of organisms living in pond water, when they checked this water under the microscope. Presently they are testing the effects of different fertilisers on the growth of plants by growing veggies in four veggie beds. Besides this, they did lots of fun experiments and are in the process of creating videos of them doing experiments.
Food Tech Talent
It seems some of our students spend a bit of time watching television cooking shows. As well as enjoying the preparation of food, they also love making the most of their presentation skills and are keen to try and out Master Chef, Master Chef. We say at Sirius, our kitchen rules!
Students have made a range of delicious dishes including summer Fruit platters (which we shared with the primary students), Corn fritters and salad, Homemade chicken strips, Spicy tempura, Mini pizzas, No-bake raspberry tarts, Brushetta and Spiced cookies. Everyone is gaining confidence and developing skills in technique and safety in the kitchen.
