Arts Extravaganza FlAsH MoB!

Throughout this term, Cooper students have had the chance to participate  in our arts night extravaganza. This year we are doing a flash mob to the famous song 'Beat it' by Micheal Jackson. The student have been practising every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for the last month or so. So far they're doing very well and the rest of Cooper got to watch the action take place, although their product is not yet complete it is still looking great. The dance incorporates some of the famous Micheal Jackson moves from the song Beat It. If you would like to come and support our Cooper team come and watch the show on the 24th of September 2014!

A taste of the real world...

These past few weeks room 6 has been working diligently to achieve their individual group social actions.
Lately we've been working on class economy and have all been assigned to jobs. We have a range of jobs to choose from for example bankers, clerks and custodians. For our class economy we have to pay rent for our desks which is at the moment $1000 and if you want to buy your desk the price is set at $10000. These prices will be fluctuating throughout the year due to the change in our economy. We even have to pay for water and electricity bills to get a taste of the real world. We get paid from $500 to $700 and get bonuses and fines from making good/bad decisions. We are really lucky to have this great experience because you could be homeless, middle class or wealthy and it depends on how you spend your money or if you get a lot of bonuses/fines. Room 6 students please comment your jobs!!!
