Cobwebs, spiders, pumpkins and bats greeted students who dared to enter the Gilmore College Library this week. ๐ธ๏ธ๐ฆ
Our creative library staff brewed up some Halloween fun, with spooky craft activities, pipe cleaner spider making and a chance to guess how many eyeballs were lurking in the jar! ๐๐ท๏ธ
Even some of our teaching staff got into the spooky spirit, dressing up on Friday to bring a little Halloween magic to their classrooms.

Creativity, a lot of heart, and plenty of colourful knits! ๐
The Gilmore Classroom Knitters Club kicked off early last term when the wonderful team from @๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒฬ ๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ generously offered to run crochet and knitting sessions at the college, giving students a new way to connect and learn something new beyond the classroom โจ.
Some students already knew their way around a pair of knitting needles, while others joined out of curiosity and a desire to learn a new craft. From traditional hand knitting to loom knitting, everyone has been busy learning, creating and having fun along the way.
๐๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ถ๐ญ๐ต๐ด? Dozens of colourful beanies and fiddle squares ๐๐ธ๐๐งก that will soon become part of a blanket, all made with love and destined for patients at Perth Childrenโs Hospital. โค๏ธ Double the reward!
A huge thank you to ๐ ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ป๐ท๐ถ๐ฐ for bringing this lovely initiative to the college, and to the amazing Cafรฉ Knitters for sharing their time, skills and passion with our students.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Noongar artist Melissa Spillman, founder of Maarakool Art, to Gilmore College last week for a special Artist in Residence project, which will culminate in a unique artwork celebrating our college, culture and connection to the Kwinana community.
Over three days, Mel worked alongside our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, encouraging them to share their stories, experiences and perspectives through art. The students created beautiful, meaningful paintings that will help inspire Melโs final piece.

This passion shone through as she guided students in expressing their own creativity and connection to Country.
Once completed, Melโs artwork will be proudly displayed at the college and featured across a range of school materials. We canโt wait to share the finished piece with our community!
A big thank you to Mel Spillman, Ms Bevis and Dr Browning for bringing this special project to life. ...
