Year 10 MYLNS (Middle Year Literacy and Numeracy Support)

The MYLNS classes have written a cookbook for you to enjoy. The brief included interviewing a significant person in their life to find out about their childhood and earlier life. The students then cooked that person’s favourite childhood dish. All of our cooking sessions were a success and everyone went home with a happy tummy. 

A special thanks to the Food Technology team whom allowed us into their space.

Tambo River Canoe Day – Unit 2 Outdoor and Environmental Studies

On Tuesday October 24, the Year 10 and 11 students from Unit 2 Outdoor and Environmental Studies headed out on their final excursion for the year. 

First stop was the TAFE Gippsland campus at Forestec, to hear about the opportunity to study Conservation and Land Management after secondary college.  Students were introduced to the course by lecturer Bruce MacPherson, with a idea to take their knowledge about the environmental and impacts and turn it into a career contributing to positive change in the outdoors.

The main event was the canoe trip along the Tambo River from Johnsonville, towards Swan Reach. This is the third canoe activity for the group, and the development of preparation, paddling technique and working as a group was outstanding. Every student has become an accomplished paddler, and so apart from pointing out various aspects of the environment and management techniques by the Catchment Management Authority, staff were allowed to let the students manage themselves to make their way up the river.

The day had warmth, sunshine, and all students appreciated the opportunity to spend the day in the outdoors after a week of exams and academic revision. 

Students at work!

Year 10 Food Choices students cooked and prepared a healthy meal for their CAT.
