Year 9 Teenage Living students have been focusing on different types of self-care and homemade cosmetic products throughout Term 3.
Recently, students participated in a special skin incursion, provided by Dermal Therapist and owner of ‘Miracle Skin Clinic’, Gulay Kanani. Gulay presented students with an abundance of relevant information, including topics such as, the importance of sunscreen, affordable and effective skincare options and skincare products and treatments to avoid. Students also prepared and gave each other hydro jelly face masks.
Miss Jones and her class wish to thank Gulay for this enjoyable and knowledgeable experience.

HASS Competitions:
Australian History Competition:
This year the Year 8 and 10 Alpha/GAT students attempted the Australian History Competition. Students studied a range of historical sources and questions to focus on testing students analytical and interpretive skills in comparing their ability to students all around the country. Both the Year 8 and 10 students scored higher than the Australian School Average, which is a fantastic result for Alkimos College’s first entry in the competition!
Australian Geography Competition:
The Year 7 and 9 Alpha/GAT students attempted the Australian Geography Competition. The AGC is a contest for Australian secondary school students, assessing their geographical knowledge and skills against students from all over the country. The competition was a selection of multiple-choice questions testing geographical knowledge and skills. It gave student real-world sources and examples to use their geographical skills.
Well done to all of the students that chose to participate and thank you to Mr Atkins, HASS HOLA, for organising.
