Code Club is an extra-curricular, after school computer programming club. It operates during
Terms 2 and 3.
Through the Australian Curriculum, the ICT curriculum is changing, with the Digital Technology
component recently endorsed. The new curriculum will equip children with the skills they need
to become active participants of this fast-paced digital world.
Code Club teaches the children much more than how to programme a computer. The projects are
fun, creative and will help your child understand how to solve problems by breaking them down
into smaller problems. In the first instance, we will be learning to program using software called
Scratch.
Scratch is a downloadable program for your Windows, Linux or Mac that makes it easy for your children to program their own interactive stories, games and animations, through colourful drag- and-drop blocks. It comes with some background images, characters and sounds ready to use, but you can also add your own images and sounds, making it even more fun! You can also use Scratch with a web browser using an internet connection. For further information about Scratch, visit http://scratch.mit.edu
College Musical Trinity College offers our students the opportunity to be a part of the College Musical. The College Musical is open for all students from Years 9 -12 both on and off stage, including leads. Students in Years 7 and 8 are able to audition to be a part of the ensemble.
