Our future students are looking forward to:
I am looking forward to being able to try different things and figure out what
I really want to learn when I get into my upper school years. My Discovery
Courses for 2018 are Astronomy and Dance. I chose these because they are
completely different subjects that I have not had a chance to try before. In grade
6 I have spent time learning about the earth and I think that the Astronomy
course will give me a chance to learn new things about the stars, planets and
the galaxy. As a gymnast I am used to practicing moving my body with lots of
control, so I think that Dance will provide a chance for me to do something fun,
and experiment with different ways of moving. As a completely new student to
the school I am looking forward to learning how to work with students from
different schools with different ideas, and experimenting with the things I like
and my learning style.

I am looking forward to starting the Catalyst program and learning
new subjects that I have never studied before. I have selected
French, Design for Wood, Astronomy and Media Film Production.
I selected French to broaden my European languages. I have been
learning Italian since Year 1 but I want to expand on another
European language. I am looking forward to studying Astronomy
because the stars and the planets take up such a vast space in the
universe and I want to learn what stars and planets are out there.
As a learner I think I am curious, have a good memory and I am
able to remain calm under pressure, so I think I will take a lot away
from the Catalyst program.

I am really grateful for all the choices the Catalyst Program offers. There is
so much to choose from so I really had to take the time to think about what
I wanted to try, or love doing. It’s also comforting to know that I can try
something for a year at a time and if I don’t like it or find something else that
I am more interested in, I can change it. My Discovery Courses for 2018 are
Design for Metal, Visual Art and Sports Science. I am a very creative person so
Visual Art and Design for Metal were easy choices. My third choice was more
difficult but my interest in sport won over my interest in French Language and I
selected Sports Science. I can always take French next year!
