Now That's a Wheely Good Project!
Year 12 Automotive students, along with their teacher Steven Bishop, have been busy designing and building an interesting new vehicle named “Black Betty” - a cross between a child’s roaster trike and a motorised quad bike.
Students came up with the design after finding an old trike in our school shed and a teacher donated a non-functioning quad bike. After some initial planning, the class took to dismantling their finds and began to re-engineer them to work together.

CLARKSON Community High School’s remix of a motivational song has resonated in overseas education forums.
In step with the school’s invitational theory approach to learning, staff asked head boy Habir Jumani and student councillor Raudhah Soffian to compose music for The Invitational Good Morning Song.
Principal John Young said a video of Habir playing the drums and Raudhah on the guitar and vocals, posted on the school website this month, quickly got students and others talking.
The Invitational Good Morning Song
Invitational Theory provides a unique language of transformation for the school culture from awareness, to understanding, to application, to adoption.
The Elements of Invitational Theory, designed to encourage a positive school environment, include Care, Trust, Respects, Optimism and Intentionality. Invitational Theory messages students that they are able, valuable, and responsible, and treats them accordingly. This ignites motivation and enhances student engagement. Engaging students in education is fundamental to learning.
Here is the song performed by and Habir Jumani and Raudhah Soffian
