Year 7 camp

On Tuesday the Year 7 class set off for their camp week down in Merricks. The group will spend the week on the Mornington Peninsula surfing, swimming, and partaking in lots of team building games and activities. The Year 7 Residential Program is a vital part of the Huntingtower extra curricula program. 

This Residential Program will provide students with the opportunity to build on, and improve, their positive communication and team building skills while interacting with their peers, and will allow them to challenge themselves in an unfamiliar environment. 

The year level will be divided into smaller groups and students will complete various activities during the week - including initiatives and team challenges, beach awareness and safety, an introduction to snorkelling, surfing, raft building, and line orienteering.

Here are some photos from the last few days:

Y9 Triathlon

Food Tech

Hugo H and Marcus P in the Year 11 Food Studies class demonstrated how to shuck, prepare and cook abalone that they went diving for over the weekend. The boys have been going diving for them as the weather has been nice and they wanted to share them with their class. They cooked the abalone two ways – sashimi style with a wasabi and soy sauce, and flash fried with chilli and lemon.
