On Wednesday 9th of March 2022, we went to the Geelong Tech School and we got to learn how to make a character come to life. The first thing we had to do was to draw the character (we used 3 different types of shapes 3 sided, 4 sided and never ending). The second thing we did was to make the character, background and add ons, on Adobe. The third thing we did was go on to this app (I forgot what it was) but the app makes the character move and do things. The last thing was that we had an iPad and we could see the character move and do the things we programmed it to do.
I thought that it was easy to do the things we had to do. The only bad thing was that I saved it but when I got back on it all the codes were gone and I didn’t have enough time to redo it all. If it was saved the code would have made the Goldfish blow bubbles. 
For the next year 7s, I would recommend you to listen closely to what you are told because you might not know what to do and mess it up. - April Barry

Watch out for the marauding Vikings, 793- 1066 AD from the warriors in Class 84.

Some hard work is happening in Year 8 GROW. Students are putting the final touches on their marble runs to see who’s creation can win the challenge.

The Year 11 VCAL class has been very busy over the last few weeks planning and organising Newcomb’s Biggest Morning Tea! Helping to raise money and awareness for the Cancer Council.

It was held at recess on Friday the 11th of March and the turnout was amazing. We hosted and catered for approximately 30 staff and students and we had all sorts of yummy treats such as slices, fairy bread, cupcakes and we can’t forget the freshly squeezed lemonade that was up for grabs! We also had some fun, colour-filled decore to shine some light on such an important topic.
Throughout this exciting event, we were able to raise over $300 so it’s safe to say all the hard work we put into this paid off, but don’t take my word for it, hear what some of our guests thought of the day!

Mrs Boyanton - “The Year 11 VCAL class should be extremely proud of their efforts. The food was presented beautifully and tasted like cafe-quality treats. I enjoyed both a barista-made coffee and homemade lemonade. The students presented themselves in a very professional manner and a heartfelt speech was made by Kiara Flakemore”.

Bella Bloem - “ I thought that this event ended up being very successful. The food was great and the room looked amazing! The staff and students also had a great time catching up after a long two-year covid break.”

Miss Hill - “The year 11 VCAL class put on wonderful morning tea! The hard work and planning that went into the event were evident through the beautifully presented room, impressive homemade lemonade stand and the smooth running of the event. The students had thought about catering to everyone with a wide variety of homemade mouth-watering treats on offer and barista made coffee! The students presented themselves in a very professional manner making the experience one to remember.
