It's October 31st! Time for spooky season! In this special Halloween episode of DismISSed, Year 9 students J'lein, Almira, and Nisi talk about what they love (and hate) about horror movies. From The Conjuring 3 (2021) to It (2017) and Annabelle (2014), these ladies chat about jump scares, suspense, and making normal things terrifying (beware SPOILERS!). They also debate important horror movie watcher principles such as, "Do you watch with the lights on or off?", "Alone or with a friend?", "Can you sleep immediately after watching?", and "How would you survive a horror film?". Happy screams!

During their second unit of study, Year 8 theatre students explored indigenous symbolism through theatre. For their summative task, the young actors and actresses were asked to collaborate and create symbolic narrative performances inspired by indigenous art pieces from the Pacific. Their performance also connected to Oceans Week at ISS, seeking to educate and inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to care for our oceans. This is the audio recording of the students' performance. Their central message: "The circle begins with us."

Indigenous Art Pieces

In preparation for their upcoming Language & Literature unit (where their summative task is creating a podcast episode), a small group of Year 9 students practiced and prepared an example episode discussion to be recorded LIVE in front of their class. In this unique Let's Talk episode, hear Joshua, Chuchu, Anabelle, and Aliya podcast about podcasting!
