"Be The Best That You Can Be"
Artist in Residence, Susannah Langley – Welcome!
We are pleased to announce that during term 3, Year 7 students will have the wonderful opportunity to learn from our artist in residence, Susannah Langley. Susannah will be working with our Year 7 cohort as part of the Regional Arts Victoria, Creative Workers in Schools Program.
Susannah Langley is a visual artist and studio-based practitioner who collaborates with developer Warren Armstrong to make virtual reality artworks that audiences can walk through, touch and listen to.
Year 7 student will be working closely with Susannah to co-design an interactive VR artwork that shares their ideas and stories on ‘escapism’. Students will be introduced to technologies and processes of VR drawing, audio recording, 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and 360 videos with the help of the STEAM teaching team.
We warmly welcome Susannah and Warren to Wheelers Hill Secondary College, and we are so excited to see what our Year 7 students produce at the end of the term.

STEM is the future for food. It’s never been more important to be knowledgeable on what makes food technology tick, from sustainable agriculture to innovation to biosecurity.
Time for Tech explores how the more we know about food science and technology, the more we can solve problems in everyday life. Celebrating the National Science Week 2021 School Theme: Food: Different by Design, students will learn all about sustainable agriculture and laboratory-developed foods as well as its (sometimes unintended) consequences, and so be better informed about STEM, career pathways and how we can all do our bit to support the planet.
The show consists of four interactive science sketches that centre on different aspects of food technology. Students in Year 8 will learn about sustainable agriculture, the link between food technology and innovation, how technology helps design creative food solutions, and biosecurity in a COVID impacted world. Throughout, audience members and student volunteers are encouraged to offer suggestions that the actors will incorporate into the action. The result is that students have input into the show while watching it!
Live or Live-Stream we will be celebrating science in action
