Kayaking Preparations

With the Year 10 Retreat fast approaching our students are busy learning the finer points of kayaking under the careful instruction of Mr Haig. Lesson 1 ... how to "right" your kayak!

Junior Tennis Champion

Fierce competition was the order of the day when the Junior Tennis Championships were held at the College recently. Taking out the title for 2010 was Year 9 student Logan More, with Jibi Kunnethedam (Year 10) second and Terenui Tapi (Year 9) in third place. Congratulations boys.

Rocketing Success

Congratulations to Year 10 student Logan Johnston who received a Bronze CREST Award for his science project on how changing the angle of a rocket's fins affects its flight path. Proof that the Science Faculty at St Kevin's College is launching itself forward with a new generation of scientists.

Year 10 Agriculture Horsing About

Miss McLennan and her Year 10 Agriculture class picked a great day for a lesson in basic horse handling skills. Thanks to Georgina Wallace, Nicole Dowling and some very tolerant ponies the students learnt to catch and halter, brush, pick up a front and back hoof and let the ponies go in a paddock. Lots of fun!

Mulitsport Success at Lake Hood

St Kevin's College students continue in the tradition of multisport success at the recent Lake Hood Event. Reubyn Bisschops took first place in the U20s in a time of 1hr 31m 11s and was placed second in the overall women's standings. Also achieving well was Amy Holland who finished third in the U20 grade in a time of 1h 54m 21s - an effort that placed her 19th out of all the women competing. Congratulations girls.

Hostel House Extreme Makeover

The Hostel Trust are breathing new life into the previously derelict middle Hostel Cottage. Thank you to MCM Contracting Ltd who have generously donated equipment and manpower to help clear the section ready for work to commence.

Netbooks

Many of you maybe aware that we have recently installed a campus wide wireless network. Our aim is to encourage students to make the best possible use of this exciting addition to our learning environment here at St Kevin's College. Ideally students can do this by having portable devices such as netbooks, cellphones and the like, connecting these to the wireless network and using their device in the classroom to enhance the learning process.
We would like to make parents aware of what we consider to be an excellent deal being offered by Noel Leeming for an entry level netbook, costing $398.00. Although the software is not ideal for our system, we are prepared to upgrade individual machines with relevant software at no extra cost.
We will continue to explore a range of options with local providers and have already ordered some demonstration netbooks to test them with our system. Some of our students have already purchased the machine listed above and it is working seamlessly with our system.
