'A Midsummer Night's Dream'
Our annual Senior School ball was held on Saturday the 5th of May at the South West Italian Club in Bunbury. The "A Midsummer Night's Dream" theme was a fantastic night celebrated by 240 students, staff and outside partners. Students arrived at the ball in transport ranging from limousines and vintage cars to milk trucks and fire engines. Students enjoyed a 3 course meal, were entertained by a floorshow from Supadance and then danced t
he night away to DJ Nathan Wheals. Jakob Barbetti and Maddi Carlson were crowned King and Queen of the Ball respectively.

Bunbury Senior High School has taken a leap forward into technology with a trial of laptop computers for students.
The trial commenced on 8 June with an induction for students and the presentation of the laptops at a parent information session that night. The parents were enthusiastic about the program and commended the school on the initiative.
Although a number of schools in the metropolitan area have commenced similar programs, Bunbury High is the first school in this area to be involved. Students get to take home a MacBook computer and they have full responsiblity for the machine.
The student's Science, English and Society and Environment teachers will all be using the technology during their lessons. The success of the trial will see up to 300 of the computers given out to students.
On Friday April 1 at the formal opening of the school library and Administration upgrade Dr Elizabeth Constable Minister for Education announced that Bunbury Senior High School would be the first regional school to be allocated a Gifted and Talented Program.
This news is just reward for the many years that Bunbury High has been one of the highest achieving public schools in the region and for the new direction it has taken in catering for excellence in academic achievement.
Students who are currently in Year 6 will be eligible to apply to enter the program. Applications are now open and information on the process can be accessed at http://www.det.wa.edu.au/curriculumsupport/giftedandtalented
Please take some time to look around and be sure to come back regularly as many updates will occur in the coming weeks.
