Happy Holidays

Well done to all Sociology award winners – Ellie-Mae Powell, Guinnea Peralta, Harry Matheson and Brittany Braye

Thanks to all of you for all your hard work this year. Over the holidays can you ensure that your folders are complete with all year 12 work (use the blog to check you have notes for all the topics) and it would be great if you could watch the film Crash, rent it out, as it is very relevant to Sociology and crime and deviance. It is the one with Sandra Bullock, not other films called Crash which are on the internet. Trailer is below. Happy Hols !!

Year 13s See you on results day!!
