🚀 Physics, Maths and a whole lot of adventure! 🌌
Our Year 11 Physics and Mathematics Specialist students enjoyed an incredible two-day excursion to Perth!
At the Gravity Discovery Centre, students explored the Leaning Tower of Gingin, investigated falling water balloons, discovered the science behind gravitational waves and experienced demonstrations of gravity and simple harmonic motion. The evening finished with a guided tour of the night sky, using telescopes to observe planets, nebulae, binary stars and distant galaxies. 🔭✨
The next morning, it was off to Adventure World! 🎢 Students tackled the Kraken, Inferno, Black Widow, Goliath and Abyss while wearing PASCO accelerometers to record their motion in three dimensions. The data will provide plenty of real-world physics to analyse back at school!
From the depths of space to the thrills of roller coasters, it was an amazing mix of hands-on learning, great questions, scientific discovery and plenty of fun. What a way to bring Physics and Mathematics to life!

The Year 11 Science in Practice class have spent the last 3 terms raising Rainbow Trout and growing different leafy greens in a successful aquaponics system.
On May 8th earlier this year our class ventured to Manjimup to Blue Ridge Marron farm for a field trip to explore how marron are grown and how aquaponics systems work. After this we visited the beautiful Clover Cottage where we collected 30 baby Rainbow Trout to take back to raise at school.
On Friday the 18th of September, we finished our course with a tasty fish barbeque cook up. Everyone worked together to make this one of the best lessons, coming together to enjoy our fully grown fish, the largest being 485g.
With assistance from Lee Phillips our science tech, and the neighbouring physics class, we managed to create a delicious meal of cooked fish stuffed with lemon slices, and smoked fillets, with bonus hot chips from our local kebab shop. Everyone enjoyed the food and it was a fabulous finish to this course.
Special thanks to Bergs for making this course so enjoyable and educating us on how we can make our own aquaponics systems!

🎓✨ YEAR 12 FAREWELL WEEK — THURSDAY ✨🎓
Today, our Year 12s took a little trip down memory lane… by dressing as their younger selves! 🧸🎀🩰

From tiny trendsetters and budding ballerinas to childhood besties - the memories came flooding back! 💕👯‍♀️

They’re clinging on to the magic of those younger years — when life was filled with play dates, dance recitals, dress-ups, sleepovers, childhood friendships and plenty of fun! 🥳🦸‍♀️👑

But behind all the adorable outfits and nostalgic smiles was a beautiful reminder of just how far they’ve come. 🌟

From those little people with big imaginations to the incredible young adults they are today, what a journey it has been! 💙

Same cheeky smiles, just a little taller… and hopefully a lot wiser! 😂

What a wonderful way to celebrate where they started, the memories they’ve made, and the amazing people they’ve become. 🥹✨

Every student and staff member should feel safe at school without worrying about being recorded without their knowledge or consent.

That’s why we’re banning smart glasses in all WA public schools from Term 4.

The ban will apply to everyone who may be on school grounds - including students, staff, parents, carers, visitors and contractors.

This builds on our existing rules around personal devices, including no mobile phones during school hours and smart watches being set to airplane mode.

We’re making sure our schools remain safe and supportive places for every student and staff member to learn, grow and work.

📚 YEAR 12 FINAL WEEK – TUESDAY! 📚
Today’s theme: Dress as a Teacher + Anything But a Bag! 👩‍🏫🎒❌

We’ve got a few budding educators in our midst, trialling the profession for a day and giving us a glimpse into the next generation of teachers! 😂

With the few extra staff on duty today, we’re making absolutely sure the learning at DSHS is top notch. The student-to-teacher ratios are through the roof! 🤣

And naturally, if you’re going to be a teacher for the day, you need something appropriate to carry your supplies in…

🎣 Fishing net
🌱 Lawn mower
🛒 Shopping trolley
🐾 Animal cage
👶 Pram
⛺ Kids’ tent
🚗 Child’s car

Because apparently, when you’re a Year 12 teacher, anything can be a staffroom-approved school bag! 😂

Who knows… we may have uncovered a few future educators today. 👏📚
