Everybody knows we have Book Club, Girls Zone and Workshop Club - but this year we are adding some new choices to our after school programmes.

This term Room 9 from Rowley Primary came in to South Learning Centre to design their own urban styled logos to be put onto a t-shirt. They were introduced to various "urban" artists and their work.  We also discussed the background of urban art and the origins of graffiti. Students were then taught free software called "Inkscape" which allowed the students to trace drawings and recolour them. Some of the results were exceptional but most importantly the students were really engaged in their work and had a great time. It was great to have such an enthusiastic class who have gone on to teach these new skills to other classmates and family.

In the October holiday programmes we trialled the first Super Heroes programme. It was a great success and enjoyed by all the students.Students create their own hero via an online website, put their work into a publisher template and populate some fields with their statistics - age, name, weight, super powers etc. The resulting profile is similar to a Facebook page. The students then print our their result and laminate them to take home.
