Out and about!

Japan Trip

During September, an excited group of 6 students, 3 staff members and one parent travelled to Japan for ten days.  During this time we visited Osaka, Kyoto, Hamamatsu and Tokyo.

While in Hamamatsu we homestayed with families from Shijimizuka Junior High School.  For most, this was the most memorable part of our trip as we experienced firsthand the lifestyle of a Japanese family. 

Term 4 Outdoor Education

This has been a busy and exciting term of outdoor education. Our Year 11 VET & OES students visited the Murray for a 3-day paddle trip from Cobram to Barmah Forest. This was a massive paddling feat as students not only learnt about the surrounding environment and user groups but also made time to relax and enjoy each other’s company and still find time to paddle the HUGE 86 KM distance. Earlier in the term the Year 9 Projects class embarked on a similar journey on homemade rafts. This trip was run in conjunction with Latrobe University. Our Year 9 Steiner students have headed off to the Otway’s for the week for their annual farming camp. With one camp only to go for Outdoor Education involving our year 10 Steiner students finishing off  Unit 1 of Outdoor and Environmental Studies. I wish to thank parents for their continued support of our programs and look forward to taking more students into the wilderness next year!
