Chris was our tour guide taking us on a two hour walk through Melbourne streets and lanes including Hosier Lane, Rutledge Lane and Union Lane. Chris talked about the political, social and artistic sides contrasting with some of society’s views on the criminality of graffiti giving the students an insight into the art form and its history. Union Lane was covered wall to wall with graffiti and colour and amazed the students, while the full building sized portrait by Adnate of an Aboriginal child was thought provoking and a favourite with the kids. The students also took part in a two hour stencil/spray paint work shop at Blender Studio, designing, cutting out and spray painting their piece onto a canvas and the Blender Studio laneway ground. The day was praised by all the students who talked about creating more art work in their own time James Foley Year 9 Team Sport Year 8 Boys Netball - Felltimber On Friday 5th August our Year 8 Boys Netball team rallied together to take on the Hume Region schools in the Boys Netball competition. After some last minute recruiting on Friday morning, the boys quickly gelled to be very competitive. The boys played 5 games, winning 3 games convincingly. The boys adjusted to the game very quickly, learning how to pivot, the meaning of obstruction and contact. Some could even be heard yelling “if you need, if you need”.
