The Invisible Drum Kit

Fluorrrrrrrrooooooo!!!!!!!

Last night was the first Intermediate Social of 2010! The theme was "Fluoro" and everyone made an effort to "Fluoroise" themselves which was great as the School Council worked hard to organize the event. LOL, lollies, Glow Sticks and Music made for an evening of dancing and madness! Funds raised from the sale of glow sticks will go towards the Balmoral School Japan Exchange later in the year.

"Old School vs New School"

The original Mr T versus some dude that looks like him...... Basic cinematography versus James Cameron's Avatar 3D..... Basic sound versus Dolby Digital Surround Sound.

Do special effects, high tech equipment and gizmos and million dollar budgets make TV shows and Movies more enjoyable for the viewer?? And what makes a classic film..... without all that stuff....a "Classic?"

Home Alone??!!

On Campbell Live on Monday night there was a segment about a 12 year old boy who was sick and tired of being dragged around shopping malls by his mum and being bored out of his mind. So he wrote to John Campbell and asked whether he was allowed to stay home alone or not because he said "Mum and Dad watch the show and believe what they say so if you tell me it's not, I will believe you." Sadly he found out that the legal age is 14.......
So what do we think? Are we mature enough to be left home alone? Post a comment and let us know what you think.

"Rights"

Yesterday we had a discussion during Philosophy about "Rights". I posed a question....."Can all kinds of creatures have rights, or just humans?? We discussed whether animals have the right to live or die and who fights for animals rights if the animals can't for themselves. We also talked about the recent trial of Pete Bethune and his involvement with trying to protect whales.
