Year 12 Outdoor Education - Organ Pipes

Our Year 12 Outdoor and Environmental Studies classes attended Keilor’s Organ Pipes National Park earlier in March. As part of the excursion, students observed firsthand the impacts of a volcanic event that occurred thousands of years ago. The liquid magma impacted the landscape significantly, so much so that to this day thousands of years later the rock face resembles that of an ‘Organ Pipe’ as per the musical instrument. Students even came face to face with a family of Eastern Grey Kangaroos! The students collected data as part of the excursion, which helped them to create a data analysis of the location during class time. 

We are looking forward to our Reptile Encounter, incursion coming up in Term 2!
