Not only was it quitefun, but it allowed us to further ourknowledge on the extensive theory wehave been taught in class.I would like to thank both Mr Helou andMr Sinik for organising this excursion.Anil Zirek 11A“nanotechnology...thebuilding of items on a‘nano’ scale”“an excellent excursionwhich allowed us to betterunderstand complexapplications”VISIT TO WESTERN WATER TREATMENT CENTREOn Thursday 7th May, Year 11 Chemistry and Year 10 Environmental Science classeswent on a field trip to the Western Water Treatment Centre,Werribee. The attendingteachers were Mr Atilla Sinik and Mr Ahmed Helou.“a greater appreciation ofthe precious commoditythat is life-giving water”This water treatment facility occupies 10,850 hectares which makes it one of theworld's largest sewage treatment plants. The plant treats more than half of Melbourne'ssewage which equates to about 412 million litres a day. It was a great experience aswe saw the many stages that raw effluent passes through to be refined forreassignment. This also creates an artificial wetland wonderland for native wildlife andrare birds along the way. By days-end we had all developed a greater appreciation ofthe precious commodity that is life- giving water!Hakan Tarakci 11AICU Read 10
SEMESTER 1 EXAMSDear Parents and Guardians,As usual, we will be holding our end of semester exams during the last three days ofweek 9. We advise students to begin studying now rather than leaving it for the end ofthe term, which makes preparation more difficult. At ISIK College formal examinationsfulfil an important function in the assessment of each student's academic performance.For many students, the exams are not just a means of assessment but they are also anopportunity for them to gain experience in the sort of conduct, procedure andtechniques they may encounter when sitting their VCE exams at the end of Year 12.Students are advised to read all instructions printed on their exam papers and toadhere to all the rules as stated thereon.Students who are absent from any examination are required to present themselves totheir subject teachers immediately upon their return to school. If a student has beenabsent for an exam, a medical certificate must be presented before he is allowed to sita supplementary exam. Without a certificate, or an acceptable excuse, students willnot be allowed to sit for a supplementary exam and they will receive a zero for theirexam mark.“exams are not just ameans of assessmentbut...an opportunity for[students] to gainexperience”Also please note this important change in our policy as stated in the student handbook:Those students who missed the exam period due to illness/overseas trip will not begiven semester reports unless they sit their missed exams upon their return.
