As part of the Year 10 Outdoor Education program, students participated in the Lorne Surf Camp. This adventure-based program allowed the students to be self-sufficient for three days and two nights, camping at the Lorne Foreshore Caravan Park and cooking their meals on Trangias. 

 

We left MGSC on Tuesday 10 October and stopped at the Australian National Surf Museum in Torquay on our trip down, discovering the history of surfing and learning about the technological improvements over time. We then stopped for lunch at the iconic Bells Beach, before heading along the Great Ocean Road to Lorne, setting up our tents and creating our camp for the next two nights. We were lucky to have a ranger from the Great Ocean Road Parks Authority introduce us to the native flora and fauna that this beautiful landscape had to offer and then began preparations for our first night’s dinner. 

 

On day two, we started the morning with a surf lesson, cooked a hot breakfast and then headed to the Live Wire Park to surf amongst the trees and enjoy the beautiful scenery provided by the forest surrounding us. The weather was perfect, and we managed to spend some time at the beach, throwing the frisbee and kicking the footy.  Day three wasn’t so kind, the rain had set in early, so we began the wet task of packing up our tents and visited Teddy’s Lookout before heading back to MGSC. 

 

This trip developed our resilience, along with our appreciation and gratitude for the comforts we are lucky to have at home. We worked together as a team, cooked amazing meals in our Trangias and had a great time trying new activities. What an experience! Something we will remember forever.

We employed additional staff to supervise the practice exams and it went very smoothly.  Approximately two-thirds of the Year 12 students attended which was a great turn-out. Opportunities such as this strengthen a student’s ability to work effectively in exam situations. Last week we hosted the Annual Art Show.  This was the first time since 2019 that we have been able to hold the Art Show onsite. The VCE artwork on display was outstanding and I congratulate every student who has undertaken Visual Art, Media and Visual Communication and Design this year.  It was also terrific to see the work of the junior and middle school students on display.  My thanks go out to Lauren Caridi, Stefanie Cappuccio, Eva Glac, Amy Willett, Charlie Ning, Luigi Spoto, Geoff Perks, and Robyn van den Berg for their work in planning for, and the installation of, the Art Show. I also wish to acknowledge the judges Cheryl Taylor from Beaumaris Art Group, Kirrah Thompson representing Art Shed and Eva Cummin and the continued sponsorship from Barry Plant. There have been two performing arts events already this term.  We held an information night for our future Year 7 students who have an interest in being in a band form.  The event was very well attended, and we anticipate having three band forms in 2024.  The Vocal Night was an opportunity for our students across the year levels to showcase their talents to their families in solo and group performances.  The Year 12 students concluded their studies at the end of last week.  In their last week the students organised several activities across the week whilst they are making the most of their last few lessons with their teachers. They were:Monday – students wore their primary school uniform and pigtails.Tuesday –  a themed dress day for students plus a staff vs students dodge ball game in the gym.Wednesday – students put together a teacher song dedication video and opened their Year 7 time capsules.Thursday – a BBQ lunch in the quad.  On Friday morning there was  whole school Reflection Assembly. It was a terrific opportunity for our students in Years 7 to 11 to be part of this occasion. The College Captains, Georgie Grubb and Candice Prior, spoke well as they summed up the journey for themselves and their peers. For the first time in many years, our Parents were able to attend the assembly and celebrate this milestone with the students. There were many staff, students, parents and carers that shed a tear at this moving occasion.    The Valedictory Dinner was held on that evening, and it was very well attended.  It was really lovely to see the families having such a wonderful time. I also enjoyed talking with many parents about how much they appreciated the efforts of the school over the year. I wish our Year 12 students all the best as they prepare for the exam period.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. If they are presenting with signs of distress, support is available through external services including:headspace: 1800 650 890Kids Helpline: 1800 551 800Lifeline: 13 11 14Beyond Blue: 1300 224
