Our final Being 10 session for the year was held on Thursday, 6th of December 2018 with Homebush Public

School as part of the Year 6 transition activities. The girls were actively engaged with the activities that involved

lots of group discussions and hands on activities. Empowerment, self confidence and talks of their aspirations

and goals were discussed. The students enjoyed getting to know our SRC members and the types of activities we

have here at Strathfield Girls High School. We hope the girls left the session feeling inspired, empowered and

more confident. We hope to see many of them here next year!

Being 10: Year 6 Transition with Homebush Primary School

Chalmers Road School Presentation Day

Piano Concert

On Monday 10th December to Wednesday 12th December Year 9 travelled

to Myuna Bay for their annual school camp. The students had the

opportunity to participate in a range of activities over the 3 days which

included Kayaking, Rock climbing, Archery, High Ropes, Flying Fox and

Challenge course. The entertainment continued into the night with

students taking part in a scavenger hunt challenge on night 1, which gave

them the opportunity to explore the flora and fauna around the camp

grounds. On night 2 students were divided into teams for quiz night which

had students up dancing, singing and completing individual challenges

including the vegemite challenge. Students also had the opportunity to

relax down by the pool after a busy day on activities. Overall, it was an

enjoyable 3 days and a great way to finish the year after all the hard work

students have put into this year.

Year 9 Camp

Year 8 at LUNA PARK (Maths Excursion)

On 3rd December, Japanese B class accompanied by Ms Fan had the

privilege to attend The Japan Foundation at Central Park Building.

We left school at 9:00am and travelled straight to The Japan

Foundation. From 10 to 12, we learnt about history and

contemporary use of Furoshiki, expressions and manners when

visiting Japanese homes and expressions for offering help.

There were a variety of items such as Manga, Japanese Artwork,

Videos, DVD etc on display.

At 12, we headed downstairs where we enjoyed lunch for around 40

minutes. Following this break, we went to Daiso Japan to buy some

Japanese items.

From around 1 pm, we walked to Matcha Ya to have some Japanese green tea dessert. We purchased Matcha ice-cream,

Matcha drinks and several more delicious items.

After dessert, we walked to Regents place and the Galleries building. We experienced some typical Japanese style vending

machines, Dorayaki (Japanese style pancake) shop, Izakaya restaurants, Uncle Tetsu cheese cake shop, book stores and

others. After a long but meaningful day, we walked back to school.

Overall, the entire day was a valuable and exciting experience. Not only did we all gain a deeper understanding of

Japanese culture, we all had a lot of fun!
