This year, 2009, the year 8's researched the community of Maribyrnong and in each subject worked on different aspects of the community.

In the science community project this year, the year 8's focused on ecosystems and the animals and plants that are inside of them. My ecosystem was a grassland ecosystem which can be found in the city of Maribyrnong. I focused on the discussion questions and put two of them into the wiki that related to the community. I chose two questions that asked what would happen if an animal was taken out of an ecosystem, what would happen to the food chain, would it be disrupted? The maths project focussed on people, measurement and clients inside the Maribyrnong area,

In the maths community project the year 8 students found a house or apartment and the floor plan for the building that suited the income of the clients. The houses that were found needed to be in the city of Maribyrnong, which Gilmore Girls college is in.The clients our group were assigned was a family of refugees. Their occupations were a taxi driver and a retail worker. These two parents had three children and a low yearly income of only $80 000. The maths project was not the only one that focussed on a house, the english assignment focussed on our dream house, just like those that could be found in the city of Maribyrnong.

The english page shows a writing piece about a house I would like to live in, the community was peaceful and the house was a perfect dream, just as the community of Maribyrnong is. Dana is the main character of the story and as her house is behind a waterfall her only friends lived under the sea, from a different world, just as the people in Maribyrnong come from all over the world and we all still live in harmony. The story goes through each room of the house and tells you why she likes each room, she also gives you a picture of what it looks like. Just as the Suburb Profile gives you a vision of what each suburb would look like.

In the S.O.S.E. community project this year, the year 8s were to focus on different suburbs in side the Maribyrnong community and what there populations are. It also focussed on the council and people of the city of Maryrnong and how it effects us. We were to find out what each of the suburbs post codes were and how many of the people living in the suburb are from Australia.
