Year 12 Celebration Day

Year 12 Celebration Day

On Tuesday 17th October our Year 12 students celebrated the end of their last year at school with a day at Funfields Theme Park. They were farewelled by the rest of the school with a guard of honour as they made their way onto the bus, showing off a great range of colourful costumes.

 

Congratulations class of 2023.  We wish you all the very best for the upcoming exams and all of your future endeavours.  Good bye for now and good luck.

They would watch a ride or experience, then do activities with the teacher and then get to experience the ride.  At Full Sail University students were able to tour the campus.  They saw Oscars and Emmys on display that graduates had one in the work on films. The 2D and 3D gaming workshops were really interactive, engaging and challenging. Students were able to showcase their games. NASA – I am not aware of any where in Australia where students would have gained the experience they gained there.  Absolutely fascinating.  They spent a day going through a series of activities in the Astronaut Experience, role playing various parts. They landed the Mars Rover as directed by students in Mission Control, fixed a few issues on the Space Station experiencing zero gravity, launched a rocket, fixed a few things in outer space and and returned to earth safely splashing down in the Atlantic, using Virtual Reality they walked on Mars collecting rock samples! On the other day at NASA, students were able to visit the Saturn V display and actually see an entire rocket. They were really excited to see the Atlantis shuttle.  They met and spoke with an Astronaut who had done 2 space missions. At iFLY they learned about thermodynamics and then put it into practice. The other important learnings from this tour included:An understanding of the many, many careers there are that they really had no idea about.Experiencing travel and being away from home for almost 2 weeks.  This included being organised, being on-time to leave the hotel by 7am most days (or earlier), managing their food budget.Working co-operatively.  Students were from Years 7 – 12.  They were absolutely wonderful.Please see some of the student comments below. This STEAM tour was amazing. The attraction parks were good and I learned a lot of things at the same time. My favourite place was Universal Studios. For the one who likes the roller coaster, there is your chance. I also learned more about how the attractions are made and function. The guides/adults were really nice to us. I had a very nice time. Margot Yao-Leclerc My favourite part of going to the USA would have to definitely be Universal Studios, the rides there are so good, much better than the ones in Disneyland for sure. The best rides there would have to be the Velocicoaster, The Mummy ride and the Hulk ride. They are all incredibly fast and The Mummy ride has fire. Only a few rides in Disney came slightly close to matching the intensity of the ones in Universal Studios. This trip was so much fun and I would highly recommend it.Sam Natalier One of the things I enjoyed most about the STEAM Trip was being able to get to know things about everyone who went on the trip. The people in our group were from year 7 all the way up to year 12. We did everything and experienced everything as a group and we all got closer to each other. I will now always know these people that I did not know before which is really cool. Even if I don't talk to them everyday, it still has made me familiar with all these people and the shared experience we had together is something we could always bring up and talk about. Thank you so much to all the teachers that helped make this happen!Arlo Grimwade Kennedy Space Centre Astronaut Training experienceThis was a very fun and enjoyable experience for all of us, there were several activities. There was 'The Briefing', 'Landing Simulator', 'Flight Simulation', 'Mars Rover VR', and 'Zero Gravity Simulator'. My favourite was the Mars Rover VR because you had to 'fix' thing on the Rover collect items from the mars surface all in the VR headset, at the same time you were being instructed by a friend on what to do how to do it excetera. The briefing was simply learning about space and rockets and all the cool stuff. The landing simulator was as if you were actually landing on mars and controlling the capsule, there were twists and turns but all in all it was great fun. The flight simulation was you had roles and you role play a rocket flight to space and back this was really fun I was the pilot and really enjoyed putting in real commands and see what happen would happen in real life on the screen in front of you. Lastly, the zero-gravity simulator, you were strapped into a chair that had technology to float on thin air, we were only a few centimetres off the ground but it felt so cool you weighed virtually nothing. You were also 'fixing things on the International Space Station (ISS)' with a friend telling you what you had to fix and where the problem was. Luke Davey This trip was an incredible experience where I got to learn so many new and exciting things as well as bond with new people. I particularly liked the thrilling rides, especially the Rip Ride Rockit at Universal and I loved the shuttle launch experience at KSC. I can't thank the school enough for this opportunity. I will take away these memories for the rest of my life. I've made new friends and new memories. Thanks to all the teachers as well.Jasper GrimwadeChess State Finals The House Chess tournament was very successful.  Students went on to participate in the Chess Victoria State Finals. In the Open Secondary State Final GEC scored 26 points and finished equal 6th out of 26 competing schools. The event was huge as 269 students participated. Three GEC students (Randheer Thogata, George Fetsis and Pierre Maziarz) won 6 of their 8 games against very strong opposition and these three students were among the top 30 best performing players in the tournament. In the Secondary Girls State Final GEC scored 10 points and finished 5th out of 7 competing schools.  Noeleen Bautista achieved 3 wins and a draw from her 7 games and was GEC’s top performer in this event. Excellent results by all involved.ScholarshipsThere are a number of scholarships available for students.  For information about scholarships offered at Glen Eira College please go to the Scholarships page under About Us on our website. The closing date for applications for 2024 scholarships is Friday 24th November 2023.TransitionWe will commence our 2024 timetable on Thursday 30th November. Students going into Years 11 and 12 in 2024 will have one week of transition classes.  They will receive documents relating to each subject and the expectations and also preparation that should be completed prior to returning next year. Students going into Years 8 – 10 in 2024 will have just over two weeks of transition classes concluding on Wednesday 13th December. World Teachers’ DayThis year, World Teachers’ Day is on Friday 27 October. It is an opportunity to say thank you for the incredible contributions teachers make to our community. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) established World Teachers’ Day in 1994 to recognise the role of teachers in society. This year, UNESCO is putting the teacher shortage at the top of the global agenda with the theme ‘The teachers we need for the education we want: the global imperative to reverse the teacher shortage’. You can get involved by sending a message of thanks to a teacher who is making, or has made, an impact on your life using #thanksvicteachers on social media. Don’t forget to tag the Department of Education and Training (the department) so we can see all your messages. See the World Teachers Day webpage for resources to help you celebrate World Teachers’ Day 2023, including ‘Thank You’ card templates.Dealing With Distressing Online ContentWith the tragic and distressing events unfolding in the Middle East, Australia's independent regulator for online safety, eSafety, has issued guidance to help parents and carers support their children in dealing with distressing online content. The eSafety website has resources for parents and carers about online safety. These include information on extra precautions you can take to protect your children from seeing disturbing content online. eSafety encourage parents and carers supporting young people who may be more vulnerable to check in with them.

While the overall risk is low, some mosquitoes carry diseases that make people sick. The best protection against mosquito-borne illness is to avoid mosquito bites.Families can protect against mosquito bites by:covering up as much as possible with long, loose-fitting, light-coloured clothingapplying insect repellent that contains picaridin or DEET on exposed skin when leaving homelimiting outdoor activity if lots of mosquitoes are active.To reduce the risk of illness linked to mosquitos, such as Buruli ulcer, promptly wash any new scratches or cuts with soap and clean water and apply a topical antiseptic and dressing. Families with any health concerns should see their doctor or phone NURSE-ON-CALL: 1300 606 024 (available 24 hours).  Free Japanese encephalitis vaccinesJapanese encephalitis virus is spread to humans through bites from infected mosquitoes and can cause a rare but potentially serious infection of the brain.Free Japanese encephalitis vaccines are available to protect Victorians at higher risk of the virus. The Victorian Department of Health encourages eligible people who live or work in high-risk local government areas to get vaccinated ahead of summer, which brings an increased mosquito presence. For more information, including what is considered a high risk area and eligibility for a free vaccine, refer to the Department of Health’s Japanese encephalitis webpage.  For more information on protecting against mosquito-borne diseases, families can refer to the following Better Health Channel pages:Mosquitoes can carry diseasesProtect yourself from mosquito-borne disease, including a handy checklist to help reduce mosquito breeding sites at home and resources translated into other languagesJapanese encephalitis Buruli ulcer.School Term Dates For 2026There have been changes to Victorian school term dates for 2026.

We started off with a free day to explore Universal Studios and we all enjoyed finding our way around the theme park such as the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Seus Landing, and going on lots of rides such as Revenge of the Mummy, Hollywood Rip Ride Rockitand the VelociCoaster.  When we returned to Universal Studios we also took part in some education sessions with our lovely teacher Ana, who had even researched GEC before we arrived! We looked at the engineering principles of the Six Degrees of Freedom, the physics that go into creating an exciting ride and the wide variety of different job opportunities at the theme park.   We spent two days at the Kennedy Space Centre, and it was amazing to see the Saturn Five rocket and take a tour seeing launch sites and the huge NASA building. There was plenty to explore and lots of hands on activities. We were lucky enough to participate in a chat with an Astronaut, where we met John Fabian, who went on 2 space missions in the 1980s and shared his experiences of being in space as well as answering all our questions.    On our second day at the Kennedy Space Centre we participated in the Astronaut Training Experience, where we undertook a range of simulated tasks that we would do if we were really astronauts! This included a walk on Mars via VR headset, a trip in a simulated rover, where we flipped over 360 degrees as we landed on the surface of Mars, and a take off and landing, with everyone taking on different roles, which was quite stressful! We also had time to explore the main exhibits such as the actual Atlantis rocket and the computers used by NASA for the moon landing. At Full Sail University we went on a fascinating tour of the campus, seeing their back lot of facades used for student films to the collection of Grammys and Oscars won by former students. Students spent a day learning how to make 2D games using Game Maker. Students also learnt about building games using Unreal and put their own creative spin on their games.   We were also lucky enough to go to Disney World, spending a day at Hollywood Studios and a day at Magic Kingdom. Students learnt about the physics of Disney parks, created their own theme park and of course, got to enjoy lots of rides!   We finished the trip off with a session at iFly, where we got to experience indoor skydiving and calculated our terminal velocity.   A big thank you to all the students who went on the trip for their exemplary behaviour, to Mrs Kindler and Mr Siriamphone for an amazing trip, and Mr Hamer-Smith for all his work organizing the trip. Penny MarksOffice

Working behind the scenes, making posters and organising events has been exciting and enriching, and I’ve learned so much with the help of my teachers and peers. I highly recommend joining the SRC to share your ideas and learn more about what you can achieve when you really push yourself. Thank you for such a great year, everyone! Zahra HnatkoSRC Captain","model":"body","embeds":[],"container_id":"5DokrlM"},"model":"container","width":"Fixed","heading":{"font":1,"html":"\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SRC News\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>","text":"SRC News","model":"heading","position":"Bottom","alignment":"Left","container_id":"5DokrlM"},"background":{"id":"5DokrlM","type":"Image","media":{"id":"JmDGrZN","url":"https://media.naavi.com/macaroni/im-08eefd96-ab98-4c99-85f2-bded489ddfb0.jpg?deg=auto","uuid":"08eefd96-ab98-4c99-85f2-bded489ddfb0","model":"media","is_photo":true,"extension":"jpg","properties":{"name":"SRC Photo term 4 2023.jpg","model":"media_properties","is_stock":false,"unsplash_id":null}},"model":"background","style":"None","height":697,"disabled":false,"position":100,"alignment":"Custom","container_id":"5DokrlM"},"created_by":null,"updated_by":null,"sub_heading":{"font":1,"html":"\u003cp>\u003c/p>","text":"","model":"sub_heading","container_id":"5DokrlM"},"column_count":3},"created_at":"2023-10-09T01:01:39.606Z","created_by":null,"updated_at":"2023-10-09T01:01:39.606Z","updated_by":null},{"id":"MxGpQYJ","type":"Content","issue":null,"model":"page","status":"Active","position":13,"container":{"id":"NVYDox5","body":{"id":"NVYDox5","font":1,"html":"\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Year 9 Food Technology\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\u003cp>Our Year 9 Food Technology class have been learning about pastry, its uses, history and cultural relevance.
