Senior School

Year 7 & 8

Maths

The Year 7 and 8 practical Maths group went around the School grounds looking for angles we could identify and measure. They did a great job discussing all the ways angles are used in our day to day lives, in areas such as construction and sport.

 

Food Tech

Last week in Food Tech, the Year 7's created their own personalised Chicken Burgers. This week, the Year 8's made Smoothie Bowls and discussed what makes a balanced diet.

Year 9 

City Experience

This week the Year 9's travelled to Melbourne for their City Experience. This year we partnered with Melbourne City Mission, Blender Studios and The Big Issue. The students attended various workshops and tours which allowed them to hear about and see real homeless stories first hand. The students were a delight to take away.

 

Community Service

The Year 9 students enjoyed dancing with the Kinder kids in our Community Service class last week. They have been developing a beautiful bond with them and the Kinder kids are getting more and more confident each time they meet. Some of the Year 9's also ran some craft activites for the Kinder kids last Friday.

On Monday 2nd September, the VCE VM class joined with the VCE Outdoor Ed class for an excursion to Deakin Uni where we heard from two speakers from the Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority. They explained what their organisation does and outlined the different pathways into the industry. Our students discovered the various skills, capabilities and qualifications required to work in an organisation such as the GHCMA.
