2002 a busy year for the Year 6 students. It started off with our fabulous, yet tiring, camp at Anglesea where we furthered our "Ocean" topic investigation with a Rock Ramble, canoeing, surfing and a day at the beach. Other topics studied this year included Exploring the Unknown, Endangered Animals and Our Body and Fitness, We also participated in various sporting events as well as our musical production "2563".

A Visit to The Heights When we visited The Heights, we learned about what life was like, in Geelong, during the 19th century. We dressed in olden day clothes and heard about the kind of foods that they would have eaten and what jobs and chores were done around the historic, old home. I enjoyed our visit and I would like to go there again sometime. Sophie Weisenberger Concern Appeal.

What is outside our universe? Why is there life on Earth? Was there life on Mars? Are we the extra-terrestrials we've been looking for? Why is the sun the middle of our solar system?

Today I made a cup-a-phone, I did lots of experiments with it. I found out that if you don't keep the string straight on a cup-a-phone, it won't vibrate good enough because sound travels in waves. Jack

When you put paper in water it will sag down but it changes its colours. The water comes up and when it touches the texta it changes to the different colours it was made from, The brown was made from blue, red, yellow and orange. Kelsey

I found out that when you use a cupa-phone, if the string is bent you can't hear it because vibration and sound doesn't go if it's floppy,

When light hits a mirror, it bends, Light travels fast. It travels in straight lines.

When it is straight, you can hear it good because when it vibrates you can hear it better. Sound travels in waves too.

Today I learned that if you put a rubber band around a cup and pull it up then let it go, it will make a sound. If you put a big one on, it deepens the sound. Jack

Not undermining the skills of the Basketballers, they indeed worked hard with Sarah Wynn and Rob Davidson putting their height and skill to good use.

A Toast to the Outback

Wait! Wipe your feet first. Unlatch the worn hook from the catch, shoulder height abreast the battered fly-wire door. If an unobtrusive passerby happens upon it, as it swings shut, shrieking as if for attention, they would watch the flakes of faded paint dislodge themselves and embark downwards in a free-falling spiral, before settling on the ground, a secretive hybrid of dust and flotsam. Journey down the discrete passage, pausing only briefly to take in the four white faces, imprisoned forever by a frame of dead wood. Some days they smile, Some days they grimace, Which is it today? Take a left, a left and quietly enter the room. A sheet hangs, ceremoniously draped across the window. A makeshift curtain in a makeshift room. A weathered milk crate stands to one side, bearing a small lamp and pacifier. To the left is an assortment of dwarf-like apparel, piled one on top of the other, carefully and painstakingly. They have obviously been folded and refolded time and again, a desperate attempt to pass time. In the centre of the room, no, just left of centre, a second hand perambulator waits. Buried deep within, a pale, dirty infant lies, in clothes too big and sheets too thick. Its morbid cries are aggravated even more by the gang of flies whom run and play along its forehead. Continue down the passage. Turn right now, now. Here the curtains are real, and hang from the window, ripped and stained. A simple, rusty sink glares defiantly, threatening Tetanus to all who intrude on its space. Discarded to one side, a mighty sideboard peers out, one door missing. A stack of dirty plates fill the doorless shelf and three chipped, white cups hang from hooks, in front of two chipped, white saucers. A dusty shadow remains as a sullen reminder of the days when the set was full. A table stands to the left, barren bar the slouched heap of a woman, surrounded by mountains of paper, official documents. Her shoulders rise and fall,

unsyncopated with her beaten sobs and whimpers. Her cheeks drawn and defeated, her hair greying and dry. Return to the passage and turn left immediately. What was once a porch, is now a closed off sunroom. The drapeless windows are positioned just so, as the sun would shine in, lighting up the room, if only the clouds would release the sun from their hold. A tattered settee sits to the side, sloping to the left on its one good leg. The walls are bare except for the cracks and splits in the rotted-out plaster. To the side kneels a little boy, his hair unbrushed and shirt unbuttoned. A pale, red stain traces the corner of his mouth and down his chin. Perhaps it is blood, perhaps jam. He laughs softly, and continues his unintelligible banter, distinguishable to him alone. Now follow the passage to the end. This room, an extension on the original homestead, added in days long ago when money was in abundance, has no windows. A lone, flickering light, hangs down from the ceiling, swaying gracefully in some apparent breeze. A battered leather armchair fills the corner, hinting of wealth and status lost. Directly opposite, an old, brown television stands, a model built before the wonders of colour took control. A man, ironical in the living room, waits. An unspoken appointment with one unlucky loved one. Now run, back, back through the passage and out the weary door. As it screams shut behind you, wipe your feet on the tired, emaciated doormat. Wipe away the infant, screaming in agony. Wipe away the woman, destroyed by letters, bills and taxes. Wipe away the little boy, neglected and alone. And wipe away the man, dancing at the end of a rope. by Claire Varley, Year 11

Life's a funny thing. We spend most of our life railing against it, But are never quite ready to finish. I remember as a kid, Peering over swinging gates on extended tippy-toes... Des is straddled over a plump young ewe, As if he's about to shear 'er. He makes a precise cut just below her throat And blood erupts from the wound Like a hose on full, That has strayed from a careless hand And is thrashing around, Drenching the old boarded walls. After a few minutes the flow reduces to a steady pulse Welling from the wool, And Des drags the thing by its hind legs From the slaughter house. The dogs mill around Gagging for a go at the fresh carcass1 Which is still twitching erratically. Muscles spasm. Starved of oxygen, She struggles to hold on As her life oozes out.

Ingredients: Take a handful of friends Add a tablespoon of willingness A cup full of laughter A breath of mountain air and Sift together through some gum trees. Blend in a teaspoon of enthusiasm A warm sleeping bag Some well fitting boots And a kilogram of equipment. Mix together in a rusty four-wheel drive until well combined Whisk well with a gushing waterfall Pour into a leaky tent Bake in some sunshine When cooked, ice with swirling clouds from the mountains And Enjoy!

She takes the details But not the big picture Stumbling head high Nose touching starless sky Foul metropolis, whores and lace Ugly men will feed on her face Rendered blind when she walks alone. Presuming that she will make it home. Daphne Shum Year 10

The lifeless forms of dead lambs Are strewn dramatically Across the frosted landscape, Lumped into small clusters In a primitive attempt to preserve body heat. An impertinent willy wagtail Perches atop a limp mound of bodies And insolently Twitters at the taunting sun. Tessa Fitzpatrick Year 12

May those who venture into the wilderness be renewed and invigorated by the beauty and wilderness of what nature has to offer. This report could not conclude without recognizing in service and dedication of Margaret and Gary O'Loughlin. They have both been an inspiration to all those who have participated in the last three major expeditions. Their enthusiasm for the outdoors will be sadly missed and we wish them all the best for the future. Mr P Taylor
