Dane Court students are celebrating another superb set of International Baccalaureate results. Seventeen students took the IB Diploma and all seventeen passed, with an average of 34 points per students, out of a possible 45. The world average is 30 points.
Dane Court Geography Department played host to some weird and wonderful Rainforest creatures as part of a unit of work for Year 7 on Sustainability and the plight of our natural world. Students got to handle our Zoolab Rainforest Ranger's (Emma Lismer) giant African land snail 'Henry', 'Steve' the giant millipede, stick insects, banana tree frogs, a ghost corn snake called 'Casper' and viewed a Chilean rose tarantula called 'Phylis.' One comment from a student was 'this has been a slimy experience!' Students will spend this term studying reasons for Rainforest destruction. They will play host to a large number of primary school students in a few weeks and be educating them about the issues through the Rainforest Game using food from that part of the world and resources they have created.
