Where we are by Rasyidah (Year 8)

Our Country

Australia is situated on the south eastern side of the world. Being such an enormous country, many Australians consider this land as a miniature ‘world’ of its own. Australia is one of the seven continents on this planet. Australia is an eminent place, famous for its kangaroos, unique culture, slang, footy and beer. Filled with people bursting with national pride, this is one of the irreplaceable places on Earth, full of rare, harsh, yet unforgiving beauty in its world renowned bushland. This country is truly blessed with an enormous range of terrain to be found here, a paradise where one can find arid, scorching deserts, snowy mountains (Blue Mountain Ranges), lush green, sub tropical rainforests and of course the extraordinary bushland all in one place. Australia, steeped in history and native culture, is truly a country worth being proud of, and so, ‘Cheers mate! have a great day!’

Our Town

Our school is in the Town of Victoria Park, located in Perth, Western Australia. The Town’s council’s aim is to work in partnership and harmony with the community and enrich the quality of life of the residents living here. They do this by enhancing the Town’s Identity, Spirit and Diversity. The Town has built and provided the resourceful and convenient Community Centre where everyone can come together, relax, play sports, read in the Town’s library, hold meetings and just take a more active and fun part in the community. They have provided and maintained the town’s many beautiful parks, gardens and memorials. This is truly a beautiful town endowed with an even more beautiful school.

Our School

This year, our Head librarian has introduced us to the wonderful project of the Giggle IT scheme. The Year Eight classes of middle school, 2009 have been recently writing and composing several literary pieces, including limericks, humorous poetry and short story writing. Our school is Ursula Frayne Catholic College. We believe we are the best for countless reasons. Some are: we are a K to 12 school, we are equipped and blessed with many wonderful facilities, we are provided many excellent and outstanding teachers who really help us to put our best foot forward and our school is a very anti-bullying zone with almost all students and staff in the campaign against it. Too many reasons to mention, overall we are a brilliant school with many outstanding qualities. I feel, and most of the students and staff too, to be privileged to be part of this warm, welcoming community.
