This year, Mr Phillip Pain has been leading the CCS Photography Collective on Monday afternoons from 3:15-5pm. The group focuses on learning new methods of photographic production and the techniques necessary for creating beautiful photos and film. The group comprises students from Year 7 – 10. Additionally, the group has the added advantage of being a fit perfect for the skill section for those doing the Duke of Edinburgh’s award!

This term they have been exploring hi- key techniques using studio lighting equipment, as well as action shots. Mr Pain has stated the aim of the CCS Photography Collective “primarily is to have fun whilst learning the basics of composition, aperture, exposure and photo manipulation”. Isaiah Hill, a member of the CCS Photography Collective has shown great appreciation for Mr Pain’s efforts, stating that “this club is a very fun way to learn new things about photography. It has given me inspiration to photograph in my own time”.

For further details please speak to Mr Pain.

Fizzics Education incursion on Big Science Big Fun

Date Posted: 02-Dec-2013

Another fabulous Science enrichment activity, this time, for Year 7 students:

All of Year 7 had the opportunity to have time off from normal classes to experience some extracurricular science activities run by ‘Fizzics Education’.  During periods 1 & 2 students got to choose between a stars and planets workshop or a chemistry show.

Then during periods 3 & 4 they came together for ‘Big Science Big Fun’ where they saw a whole lot of cool science thingy’s ranging from giant smoke rings to dancing fire waves!
