Looking Back on 2015
Year 8 is over, and before I begin Year 9 I want to again reflect (as I did for Year 7) on the highlights of last year, 2015. I have never had such an exciting year to reflect on! The year started well for me at the St Vincent’s Swimming Carnival. If you asked me…
Video: Not for Beauty, for Health
My video explains unachievable beauty that photoshopping creates. The video’s goal is to inspire young girls to *not* diet and exercise in the name of beauty, but in the name of health.

Video: The Power of Education
In Year 8 this year at St Vincent’s, I have had to create many videos for my assessment tasks, even Maths. This video is for geography and it was made on Premier Pro and PowToons. “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day, teach the man to fish, and you feed…

Looking back at Year 7

Poem: Where the Land Meets the Sea
This year, I decided to enter the Lionel Bowen Young Writers Award 2014 again. This is my second time entering a poem the competition and after my unexpected win in year 5, I doubt I’ll be second time lucky! Despite this, I’ve again tried my best to create a great poem. This years rules were that…
Make Every Post Count
I wrote this speech for my Year 7 English assessment at school. It was worth 25% of my grade. It was well received by the students. I couldn’t record it at school, but this is the practice I did before.
Our Warheads advertisement – A warzone in your mouth
