Our Warheads advertisement – A warzone in your mouth
My Music Assessment for Year 7 is done. We had a music assignment to make a jingle and an ad for a product of our choice. This was the first time I was wholly behind the camera and I enjoyed filming and directing. I worked with Tilly Francis, Gemma Mazzola and Stella Wailes and our…
What Matters – Searching the Ocean or Reinventing the Black Box?
Last week I entered a writing competition. I love English and my school encouraged all students to enter the Whitlam Institute’s “What Matters” Writing competition. This blog post is my entry (it is actually a longer version than what I entered into the competition). I found cutting my document down to fit in the 600…
After MH370, when will they listen to Captain De Crespigny’s warning?
“They are going to have to rethink the logic of how they keep the flight recorder going.” Captain De Crespigny’s prophetic warning 2 years before MH 370. (See 5:02 in above YouTube video) I interviewed Australia’s most famous pilot, Captain Richard De Crespigny 2 years ago in 2012. In that youtube interview he said that the…
Year 7: My First Term at St Vincent’s College
I have just finished my first term of high school at St Vincent’s College, Potts Point, Sydney. It is known as SVC or Vinnies.

Perfect Match
I spent the Easter break at a farm in Scone near to where my dad grew up. One night we had the biggest bonfire ever. It was at least 6 metres tall. After letting it burn for 3 hours we came back to a much smaller, but still roaring fire. It was a great night…

Happy Birthday David Warren
Yesterday was Dr David Warren’s birthday. He was born on the 20 March 1925, so he would have been 89 if he was alive today. He would be very concerned about the still unresolved Malaysia Airlines MH370 as it enters its third week without answers. On the other hand I think he would be very…
Wi-Fi – Behind the scenes #VideoMaking
I have had some emails asking me how I made my latest Wi-Fi video. Making this video was definitely challenging and fun and much less work and stress than my last David Warren Black Box video. I wanted to make it shorter and more interesting, with great cutaways and tell the Wi-Fi inventors story, in a more…
Exciting news: Canberra Airport gets the “David Warren Complex”
I am so happy to tell you about some exciting news… And no, it is not Australia winning a Gold medal at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. For those who have been asking for an update, thank you for your patience. I was travelling home from my new school (St Vincent’s College Potts Point)…
Video: The End – My closing speech as 2013 Claremont College, Girl School Captain
