From the Classroom
Year 9 Commerce - Consumer Choice/ Product Differentiation
As part of their studies in Consumer Choice, Year 9 Commerce students participated in a product evaluation lesson. Students were provided a range of products to ‘blind taste’ then predict price, describe the quality, analyse packaging and marketing and then evaluate and recommend the best product. Chocolate biscuits were a popular product among students, with 90% guessing the correct Tim Tam brand!
Students will provide their recommendation in their first Assessment Task, creating a Consumer Choice style magazine article.
Year 8 Medieval Incursion
In Week 4, Year 8 historians stepped back into the medieval world with the assistance of Colin from Celtic Thunder. Students participated in a range of interactive presentations that brought their studies to life. Students dressed in replica clothing that represented each level of the feudal system, re-enacted a scenario involving a thieving peasant and a Viking, witnessed the attempts at curing the plague and watched demonstrations of weaponry, punishment and sword fighting!
A big thank you to Colin for his knowledge, experience and artefacts and to Year 8 for engaging and participating in the activity so well!
