Year 12 Art students visited the Museum of Contemporary Art ‘MOCA’ today with a focus on portraits.
They investigated the many ways different Artist’s represent portraits, from the most realistic images to the subtle and abstract. This is the start of their new journey whereby they will produce their own self portrait.
Intense rivalry and furious discussion have filled the foyer this week for the House Debate Competition. Each house entered a team for the Junior, Middle and Senior debate heats to determine who went through to the finals. Students were challenged not only to stand and speak in front of their teachers and peers, but also to research and evaluate some difficult and sometimes controversial arguments, such as international adoption, animal testing and performance enhancing drugs.
The winners of each age category are as follows:
Junior (years 7 and 8) – Red House
Middle (years 9 and 10) – Blue House
Senior (years 11, 12 and 13) – Green House
The overall winner for the House Debate Competition based on overall scores and points difference is Blue House.
Well done everyone who contributed to an excellent series of debates.

Year 7 students have been learning about textures and mark making this year and have used these skills to render their own versions of Van Gogh’s masterpieces.
The U13 Girls Football team traveled to Sky Kicks football ground to face Wells in their first match of the season on Tuesday.
An excited team took to the pitch and, in a frantic first half, were drawing 1-1 after 10 minutes with a goal from Catalina. Wells was a mix of experience and new additions, using their experienced players to score their second goal, ending the first half 1-2.
The girls took to the pitch in the second half still energized and keen for a second goal. Catalina, Waii and Cartoon were all pushing forward to make it happen, though unfortunately unsuccessful.
The girls thoroughly enjoyed this game and are looking forward to the next.

Week 2, game 2!
The U13 boy’s, second football game of the season would demonstrate if the players had taken heed of their coach’s advice after an initial 1-1 draw with another International School. The only perceived area of weakness was the player’s level of self belief! Would this game prove to be the turning point? Could our players produce a performance that is reflective of all their hard work and commitment?
The answer is, yes! The team started well with some calculated attacks; the defence looked organised and Plub was our anchor, a fine example of a goalkeeper, standing dominantly between the sticks! Regents took an early lead through Khawklong’s excellent centre forward scavenging effort. The score line remained the same until after the break when a lapse in concentration enabled the visitors to sneak 2 goals, which put them back in contention. The spirit and strength of the Regent’s team shone through. A brace from Ann-Ann; a sublime shot from Captain Tor and a wonder strike from Gain ensured that the team recorded a fine 5-2 win. We must retain such a sense of belief in our remaining games. Tor’s fine leadership promotes, “Every player is a captain; every captain a leader; strong leadership equals direction”!

Year 12 Biology students successfully extracted their DNA from their own cheek cells. They followed the exact same method that would be used in a CSI forensic science investigation, to collect, separate and purify the DNA. Every student was able to see their DNA and were very excited to be able to take the sample home to show their family.
