In welcoming the students back, I urge all of them to approach each and every class this Term with a view to making the most of every opportunity which comes their way. Every idea, concept and explanation should be explored as an opportunity for new and deeper understanding rather than as an imposition. The best advice for Year 1.

They enjoyed developing their skills in problem solving, collaboration and creativity through coding Lego EV3 robots in small teams. This included programming their robots to navigate around a path by identifying obstacles and changes to the driving surface. This workshop highlighted the importance of these skills in a global context as robotics and artificial intelligence continues to advance. Parallels to autonomous vehicles were made and students came away with the confidence to continue their coding journey in future years. Mr Mark Schumann. Teacher of ICT and Media. Acting Head of Digital Technologies. National History Challenge Yarra Dominates at States. Yarra Year 8 Humanities students had their best ever showing at the National History Challenge this year, with fourteen entries making it to States, four entries coming first in their categories at States and four entries being finalists at Nationals. What makes this so extraordinary is that students in the special categories beat students of senior levels at other year levels. Aijah Glenn was a National finalist and State award winner for the Indigenous category on her display of differing views and effects of colonisation. Jamie Nance, Lauren Dickins and Ben Stevenson were National finalists and State winners in the Democracy category for their model and display of the British suffragettes. Film Enforced Method Acting Nicholas Meyer apparently discovered this was the best way to get a real performance out of William Shatner, and pulled this on him multiple times. In Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan, in the scene where Kirk first confronts Khan, Kirk says Here it comes to Khan before transmitting what is supposed to be classified data but is actually a signal to make Khans ship drop its shields. William Shatner kept delivering the line in his usual acting style, making it too clear that Kirk was tricking Khan, so director Nicholas Meyer had Shatner do the scene multiple times until he was tired enough to do a more appropriately subdued take. Star Trek VI has this remarkably cold blooded exchange, regarding peace with the Klingon empire. Spock Jim, there is a historic opportunity here. Kirk Dont believe them. Dont trust them. Spock Theyre dying. Kirk Let them die According to William Shatners Star Trek Movie Memories, this wasnt how he had intended the line to come off. The unedited shot includes Kirk physically recoiling, to provide the impression Kirk had regretted saying something so bloodthirsty. Meyer promised Shatner hed use the full shot. He lied. Shatner also often retells the story of an early movie he did where he had to do a scene atop a moving train. To allay his apprehension about the safety of this, the director told him hed have the train run at ten miles an hour. But only after finishing the scene did Shatner learn that, during the course of the take, the director had had the train slowly rev up to forty miles an hour so the scene would be more realistic.
