Around the School

Year 9 Outdoor Ed

On Monday the 11th and Tuesday the 12th of November, the annual Year 9 Outdoor Education Bike ride took place, riding from Wangaratta to Bright via the fantastic Murray to Mountains rail trail. Students did a great job and powered through the 80 km with no issues (well maybe a few complaints here and there!).  The group camped overnight at Myrtleford which was great and allowed us to freshen up before the final 30 km on the next day. All of the students did a great job and whilst tired after a busy few days they were extremely satisfied with their efforts. 

Thanks to Wendy Duguid and James Griffin for the courageous effort of riding the full 80 km alongside myself and thanks to Mr. Nic Facey for being our support vehicle driver.

Year 11 VCAL

As part of their early commencement program Year 11 VCAL students visited Sealife Aquarium. This was a fantastic welcome and bonding experience for the new and old VCAL students.

Well done to VCAL foundation student Mariem Alhilfi who planned and organized the excursion as part of her course work this term.
