VCAL COMMUNITY PROJECT WORK
Some students from Ms Molloyrsquos VCAL class designed and created fused glass panels
representing the Arts subjects in D Block This was part of their VCAL studies this year
specifically their Community Project work Working with Ms Gartlan and Mrs Mackenzie
the students came up with some design ideas which were presented to the Arts Domain for
feedback and approval Working Tuesday mornings in the new covered courtyard in D
Block the students cut and stuck individual pieces of coloured glass onto sheets of clear
glass They also used glass in frit and stringer form to create the design These panels were
then fused in the kiln to a temperature that maintained the shape of the individual pieces but
rounded slightly to give a wonderfully tactile texture The end result looks (and feels)
fantastic

Intermediate Boys Basketball Team Runner-Up at Hume Region Championship The Wanganui boys got off to a great start by defeating Galen College Wangaratta by 1 point after trailing all game
Some great rebounding by Kyle Murphy and clutch foul shooting by Aaron Egan in the last minute of play saw
Wanganui grab a victory from the jaws of defeat A crushing 40 point win over Sacred Heart Yarrawonga followed
where all players contributed Matt Collins was on fire and Aaron Egan scored at will That then meant we would play
Euroa SC in the Grand Final A sluggish start meant we were 10 down before we knew it Some great offence from
Aaron Egan kept us in the game and we were able to go in at half time 2 points down Again a slow start meant we
were chasing for the rest of the game With 2 minutes to go we were 10 down and not looking great A full court
defence and some huge 3rsquos from Jai Rodaughan got us back to 1 down with plenty of time left Unfortunately missed
throws and a couple of turnovers meant we lost by 3 points It was a great fighting effort by the boys who
represented the school with distinction All players played a significant part throughout the day Well done to Matt

Intermediate Boys Basketball Team Runner-Up at Hume Region Championship The Wanganui boys got off to a great start by defeating Galen College Wangaratta by 1 point after trailing all game
Some great rebounding by Kyle Murphy and clutch foul shooting by Aaron Egan in the last minute of play saw
Wanganui grab a victory from the jaws of defeat A crushing 40 point win over Sacred Heart Yarrawonga followed
where all players contributed Matt Collins was on fire and Aaron Egan scored at will That then meant we would play
Euroa SC in the Grand Final A sluggish start meant we were 10 down before we knew it Some great offence from
Aaron Egan kept us in the game and we were able to go in at half time 2 points down Again a slow start meant we
were chasing for the rest of the game With 2 minutes to go we were 10 down and not looking great A full court
defence and some huge 3rsquos from Jai Rodaughan got us back to 1 down with plenty of time left Unfortunately missed
throws and a couple of turnovers meant we lost by 3 points It was a great fighting effort by the boys who
represented the school with distinction All players played a significant part throughout the day Well done to Matt

VCAL COMMUNITY PROJECT WORK
Some students from Ms Molloyrsquos VCAL class designed and created fused glass panels
representing the Arts subjects in D Block This was part of their VCAL studies this year
specifically their Community Project work Working with Ms Gartlan and Mrs Mackenzie
the students came up with some design ideas which were presented to the Arts Domain for
feedback and approval Working Tuesday mornings in the new covered courtyard in D
Block the students cut and stuck individual pieces of coloured glass onto sheets of clear
glass They also used glass in frit and stringer form to create the design These panels were
then fused in the kiln to a temperature that maintained the shape of the individual pieces but
rounded slightly to give a wonderfully tactile texture The end result looks (and feels)
fantastic
Pictured below - Tom Diamond Angela Voulinos and Jade Sheen in front of the panels
installed in the entrance of D Block

VCAL COMMUNITY PROJECT WORK
Some students from Ms Molloyrsquos VCAL class designed and created fused glass panels
representing the Arts subjects in D Block This was part of their VCAL studies this year
specifically their Community Project work Working with Ms Gartlan and Mrs Mackenzie
the students came up with some design ideas which were presented to the Arts Domain for
feedback and approval Working Tuesday mornings in the new covered courtyard in D
Block the students cut and stuck individual pieces of coloured glass onto sheets of clear
glass They also used glass in frit and stringer form to create the design These panels were
then fused in the kiln to a temperature that maintained the shape of the individual pieces but
rounded slightly to give a wonderfully tactile texture The end result looks (and feels)
fantastic

Intermediate Boys Basketball Team Runner-Up at Hume Region Championship The Wanganui boys got off to a great start by defeating Galen College Wangaratta by 1 point after trailing all game
Some great rebounding by Kyle Murphy and clutch foul shooting by Aaron Egan in the last minute of play saw
Wanganui grab a victory from the jaws of defeat A crushing 40 point win over Sacred Heart Yarrawonga followed
where all players contributed Matt Collins was on fire and Aaron Egan scored at will That then meant we would play
Euroa SC in the Grand Final A sluggish start meant we were 10 down before we knew it Some great offence from
Aaron Egan kept us in the game and we were able to go in at half time 2 points down Again a slow start meant we
were chasing for the rest of the game With 2 minutes to go we were 10 down and not looking great A full court
defence and some huge 3rsquos from Jai Rodaughan got us back to 1 down with plenty of time left Unfortunately missed
throws and a couple of turnovers meant we lost by 3 points It was a great fighting effort by the boys who
represented the school with distinction All players played a significant part throughout the day Well done to Matt

VCAL COMMUNITY PROJECT WORK
Some students from Ms Molloyrsquos VCAL class designed and created fused glass panels
representing the Arts subjects in D Block This was part of their VCAL studies this year
specifically their Community Project work Working with Ms Gartlan and Mrs Mackenzie
the students came up with some design ideas which were presented to the Arts Domain for
feedback and approval Working Tuesday mornings in the new covered courtyard in D
Block the students cut and stuck individual pieces of coloured glass onto sheets of clear
glass They also used glass in frit and stringer form to create the design These panels were
then fused in the kiln to a temperature that maintained the shape of the individual pieces but
rounded slightly to give a wonderfully tactile texture The end result looks (and feels)
fantastic

VCAL COMMUNITY PROJECT WORK
Some students from Ms Molloyrsquos VCAL class designed and created fused glass panels
representing the Arts subjects in D Block This was part of their VCAL studies this year
specifically their Community Project work Working with Ms Gartlan and Mrs Mackenzie
the students came up with some design ideas which were presented to the Arts Domain for
feedback and approval Working Tuesday mornings in the new covered courtyard in D
Block the students cut and stuck individual pieces of coloured glass onto sheets of clear
glass They also used glass in frit and stringer form to create the design These panels were
then fused in the kiln to a temperature that maintained the shape of the individual pieces but
rounded slightly to give a wonderfully tactile texture The end result looks (and feels)
fantastic
Pictured below - Tom Diamond Angela Voulinos and Jade Sheen in front of the panels
installed in the entrance of D Block
Absent participants - current students Courtney Gardner and Mahsun Sakir and past students

Intermediate Boys Basketball Team Runner-Up at Hume Region Championship The Wanganui boys got off to a great start by defeating Galen College Wangaratta by 1 point after trailing all game
Some great rebounding by Kyle Murphy and clutch foul shooting by Aaron Egan in the last minute of play saw
Wanganui grab a victory from the jaws of defeat A crushing 40 point win over Sacred Heart Yarrawonga followed
where all players contributed Matt Collins was on fire and Aaron Egan scored at will That then meant we would play
Euroa SC in the Grand Final A sluggish start meant we were 10 down before we knew it Some great offence from
Aaron Egan kept us in the game and we were able to go in at half time 2 points down Again a slow start meant we
were chasing for the rest of the game With 2 minutes to go we were 10 down and not looking great A full court
defence and some huge 3rsquos from Jai Rodaughan got us back to 1 down with plenty of time left Unfortunately missed
throws and a couple of turnovers meant we lost by 3 points It was a great fighting effort by the boys who
represented the school with distinction All players played a significant part throughout the day Well done to Matt
