Staff at Clarkson Community High School were recently honoured to be invited to the North Metropolitan TAFE Advanced Diploma in Photography exhibition at Gallery Central, Northbridge by two former Clarkson students Sarah Andreo and Tiffany Hodgson. Sarah was a finalist for the Best Series category and came in the top three. English teacher Evelyn Kiddie and photography teacher John Keyworth were both very impressed by the standard of Sarah and Tiffany’s work and very proud to see ex-students doing so well. It was also great to bump into a few other former students including Mallory Salinger, Ben Rijntjes and Aisha Simpson who were also in attendance.

Clarkson Year 9 Volleyball Match Report – Butler (by Alex Coe, PhysEd teacher)
On Wednesday the 13th of November 18 brave Year 9 students ventured north on a grueling trip to Butler College to challenge them in two epic volleyball matches.
After minimal warm-up time the Year 9 girls and boys were underway in their respective matches. The girls got off to a flyer and found themselves 10 points up in the early stages of the first set before Butler clicked into gear and brought the score back to a thrilling 26-24 first set, which fell the way of Clarkson. The teams then swapped sides and, with the help of a run of good serves, Butler managed to sew up the second set leaving the scores locked at 1-1. Finding themselves five points down early in the 3rd and final set, the Clarkson girls rallied together and found a way to win by 3 points (25-22).
