Students returned to school after a well-earned holiday, ready to learn. In the final weeks of Term 2, students worked hard to catch up on their tasks. Our Year 8 students were given the opportunity to experience the history of the Vikings with their excursion to the Melbourne Museum.

Term 3 brought challenges for our Year 8 classes with bushwalks at Lerderderg Gorge.  One of our Year 8 classes completed this in Term 2 by successfully reaching the top.

Another four classes have completed their huge walk up the side of Lerdederg Gorge, otherwise known as the “SPUR”. In a great effort again, all students were able to make it to the top. Many thanks again to Mr Kilroy and Mr Velden for their effort in supporting and organising the venture.

Enrolment is on the way for our new Year 7 students for 2019. Forms have been mailed out to parents and interviews for new students and parents to meet with staff to complete the enrollment process will happen on 15th, 18th and 25th October.

Middle Sub School

Year 9 Camp - Phillip Island Adventure Camp

Middle sub school would like to congratulate and thank all the Year 9 students who attended the 2018 Phillip Island Adventure camp. Each student demonstrated the college values with great pride, respect and responsibility. It was an engaging experience. New friendship groups were formed and old groups consolidated. Students worked on team bonding activities ranging from canoeing, team rescue to the more daring high ropes and each student also had a go at archery. Students had a great time enjoying the outdoor activities and the great weather. A special thank you to Ms Alfieri, Mr Young and Mr Xia for coming on camp.
