Creativity was flowing in Year 9 GAT English in May as students took part in an exciting graphic novel workshop with renowned Australian graphic novelist James Foley!
Graphic novels are now recognised as a highly respected literary genre, combining visual and textual storytelling to communicate powerful ideas and complex themes. As part of their English studies, students are currently exploring the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus by Art Spiegelman and examining how graphic novel conventions can be used to tell compelling stories.
Drawing on his expertise as an author and illustrator, James shared practical tips on everything from character design and composition to the effective use of symbols, gutters, panels and speech bubbles. Students then had the opportunity to put these techniques into practice, creating their own illustrations and receiving personalised feedback from James throughout the session.
The workshop was particularly relevant as students are currently creating a section of a graphic novel inspired by poetry for an upcoming assessment. More importantly, it was a fantastic opportunity to learn by doing. There was plenty of laughter, creativity and enthusiastic participation as students experimented with new ideas, developed their artistic skills and discovered just how much fun graphic storytelling can be.
A huge thank you to James for delivering such an informative, engaging and entertaining workshop. Our students left inspired, motivated and eager to apply their new skills to their own graphic novel creations!
Recently, a group of Year 9 students took part in a three-day Try-a-Trade program with Skills Hire Joondalup, gaining valuable insight into careers within the building and construction industry.
Throughout the program, students developed practical skills in both bricklaying and carpentry, constructing a brick column and walls before creating an arbor complete with decking. Working in a trade training environment, students had the opportunity to use industry-standard tools and equipment while building their confidence, teamwork and problem-solving abilities.
Programs like Try-a-Trade provide students with a valuable opportunity to explore potential career pathways, develop hands-on skills and experience the realities of working in the trades.
