THE BRUNSWICKMelbourneWritersCentreLast week (30th May) the B.S.C book club had an excursionto the Melbourne Writer’s Centre to see a variety of authorsspeak on a panel for the centre’s student day, ‘Reading Matters’.Some of the authors we saw speak included Libba Bray,John Flanagan, Raina Telgemeier and Myke Bartlett.They spoke to us about the writing process, their books,story ideas and some had prepared interactivegames or activities which were very fun and engaging.After the authors had all spoken there were free signingand photo opportunities from those who spoke and someadditional writers as well. The excursion was very enjoyableand I think all of book club learnt or gained something usefulfrom the experience.Selina Moir-Wilson Yr 9Year 7 Ed Science ExcursionOn Friday the 10th of May a very hotand bothered 7B and 7S travelled by busto the Earth Education Science Centrejust outside Ballarat.There we met Matt, who showed us apower-point about renewable sources ofenergy and in particular, wind farming.Soon after the power-point we droveto the Acciona-owned Waubra windfarm. At the control centre the sitemanager Mel showed us the computerprogram that shows her all the informationabout each wind turbine.We drove to one of the turbines, where,on the way we saw a turbine that hadbeen hit by a sheet of lightning.We went inside the base of one of theturbines and when I looked up it, it lookedso tall. One of the engineers told us thatthe lift could carry 2 people at a time butI thought it could only hold one personthough because it was so small.James Donner Year 7
