Minecraft Olympics

Lockdown or no lockdown, we will be holding our Cranbourne Secondary College Olympics over four consecutive Thursdays at the end of Term 3 and into the start of Term 4, beginning on Thursday September 2.

Our Cranbourne Secondary College Minecraft Olympics will be mainly located in the wonderful cyber world of Microsoft Teams, but we will also be utilizing some W Block rooms and the Library if the lockdown finishes.

This educational value of this task is not just the event. It is the rich learning and collaborative interaction of students creating, preparing, planning and problem solving.

A team of talented and intrepid Year 7s are at the heart of this event.

Year 7 students Oscar Moore, Willow Moore, Seth Cooke, Connor Blackmore, Joshua Hewitson, Adil Ghani, Brock Marsh, Suhas Vashisht and Nathan Woods have spent countless hours in our virtual Teams BreakOut Rooms creating the virtual world that will be the home to our school’s online Olympics event.

While having fun and working hard, they have also been enriching and enhancing the skills we want students to develop at our school. These students have been using higher order thinking skills, collaborative learning skills, communication skills and creative problem solving techniques.

We hope many students, teachers and members of our school community can join in the fun and experience the magnificent virtual world these talented students have created.
