Three Catherine McAuley students, who are considering a career in the fashion industry, recently attended a two day workshop on sustainable fashion design at TAFE NSW. 🪡👗 The students had the opportunity to explore fashion design through the lens of sustainability and circular strategies. Angela C, Year 11, who attended the workshop said that, “the main objective of the course was to create a textile bag out of old denim jeans so that it becomes sustainable and reusable. We also listened to a talk with one of the employees from the Australian clothing brand Zimmermann. Everyone who attended is now seriously considering a career in this industry”.

Well done to the students who represented Catherine McAuley at last week’s PDSSSC Cross Country event. Despite the muddy grounds at the Sydney Equestrian Centre, Horsley Park, all students competed commendably. Scarlett L. Year 7 even lost her shoe mid-race but continued running with just one shoe and ended up equal 5th! 🏃♀️🏃♀️ Three Catherine McAuley students made it into the top 10 and will be representing PDSSSC at the NSWCCC Cross Country on 5th June. Congratulations to Niamh M. Year 11, who came 2nd and Neave S. Year 11 and Scarlett L. Year 7 who came equal 5th.

Around the Classrooms ➡️ Is the Force With You? 👽 Year 7 Science students of Miss Raja have recently started a new unit called ‘Is The Force With You?’ As part of this the students have been learning about different types of forces. In class last Friday the students modelled crash test dummies and described their motion in different types of collisions. The students explained their observations with reference to inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist change in motion and is something we experience everyday in a car, bus or train. Through this, students reinforced the importance of wearing seat belts in moving vehicles to slow down with the vehicle and prevent passengers from continuing their forward motion due to inertia.
