As part of the ALP (Applied Learning Program), my English class had to complete a project on student directed learning. I chose to do my project on landscaping. I was excited to learn more about this topic, the techniquest that are used and the processes for creating garden designs. I designed a garden for my teacher, Alison Sanza. It was good fun to use Google Sketch to create the garden.Ismail Year 10

I did things like photocopying, writing press releases, doing mail-outs to Radio stations and magazines, sorting through reviews and replenishing store stocks. I learnt about the publishing system and being a sales rep. I had heaps of fun. Savanna- Year 10 

I have been involved in the Rock Eisteddfod for two years now. IN 2007, Brunswick won the Premier Division, In 2008, we were lucky to come 3rd. The Rock Eisteddfod days have been the best days of my life. This year we are performing in the Raw Division but will go back to Premier Division next year.

I was surprised and elated when I heard that I had won a Swannie Award. These awards are given to the best speaker from each grade in debating. At Brunswick we are given really fanatastic debating opportunities including workshops and competitions. Debating has helped me become more confident in speaking to large groups and with essays, presentations and my general approach to studying and thinking about issues.  Holly, Year 10  

After the Black Saturday Bushfires, the Brunswick Secondary College felt the need to help the schools nearest to us. We had a Black Clothes Day where students donated a gold coin or more to the cause. We raised over $7,000. This was a great achievement that brought pride to our school community. Annalivia - Year 11

Over the past week, I have participated in a unit called Student Directed Curricullum. We developed our own topics and had to create assessment tasks based on skills we wanted to develop.  I chose Home Designs and Model Building. I created a model house on Google Sketch-Up. The presentation was a great success and I got praise from every teacher. Nathan, Year 10

I got chosen to coach for the Year 7 Soccer team. The boys had big expectations of me but I soon eased into the role. On Sports Day I was nervous but also excited. I was thrilled my team got into the final which we won with an exciting goal with only two minutes to go. We all sang the Melbourne Victory chant at the end. Josh- Year 8

The Italy trip last year was really good. It showed me how to cope without my parents help and be more self sufficient. I enjoyed all the day trips, all the amazing places we stayed, and also learning about another culture.  I was lucky enough to be able to extend the trip by staying with family members at the end.  Rocco,Year 10
