     However many snack foods, along with
     imported fruit and vegetables available in
     Australia, may use some GM ingredients.
     The purpose of the day was to see which
     snack foods contained some hidden
     GM crops. The students needed to use
     biotechnology to identify which, out of
     corn chips, potato chips, rice crackers,
     soy crisps, papaya and polenta, contained
     genes for genetic modification.

     The first step was to grind the foods into
     a fine slurry using a mortar and pestle.
     Next, the students used a centrifuge
     to separate the DNA from the fibrous
     tissue. This DNA was extracted and
     mixed with primers, Taq polymerase,
     DNA nucleotides, buffer and cofactors
     to duplicate the DNA in a long process
     called polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
     30 cycles of PCR can create over 1 billion
     copies of a single strand of DNA!

     The students then enjoyed a quick lunch
     on the benches. All of the lab skills
     required for these techniques are hungry

FROM YOUR HOUSE LEADER
            Welcome to Semester 2.

            We finished Semester one on a high with the annual House
            Day. Kelly House leaders Matilda and Hannah organised a
            tour of Aradale's Mental Institution, a movie with popcorn
            and delicious pizzas for lunch. It was a very relaxing way to
            finish the term and I cannot thank the girls enough for their
            efforts.

            On the 19th/20th of July a group of mostly Year 11 students
            made their Deb. As a parent I was very proud of my sons
            Matthew and Luke but I also had such enjoyment watching;
            the girls I coach at netball, some of my basketball boys,
            kids I have known since birth and the students I have
            taught over the past 5 years. Not only were they stunning
            in appearance but it was the way in which they conducted
            themselves throughout the night that impressed me the
            most. Things like getting their parents or grandparents up
            to dance, looking after their partner and behaving on the
            dance floor. Hopefully all parents were bursting with pride                                                                                                          2nd August 2019
            on the night. Honestly I could not wipe the smile off my
            face.
