School Events
Bike Education
On Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, students in grades 1 through 6 participated in a wonderful and engaging bike ed program led by Aus Cycling. The incursion aimed to enhance students’ understanding of road safety while also boosting their bike riding confidence and skills. Various cycling activities were included to achieve these goals.
Thank you to the staff who attended the program on the day. Your support was greatly appreciated.
Victorian High-Ability Program (VHAP)
Throughout the last three terms, selected students have been attending online classes known as the Victorian High-Ability Program, or VHAP. This program covers two main subjects, Maths and English. Around nine students attended the math program, while around five attended the english one. The program was spread out over ten weeks, and Webex was used to attend these classes.
During the math program, students covered a wide range of topics and skills. Numerical
languages and ciphers all played a vital part in the curriculum. The teachers in VHAP helped guide us and were always ready to help.
Last Thursday, students attended the masterclass for VHAP maths. This year, Camelot hosted the event in the STEM room, and three other schools, Syndal South, Highvale and Glen Waverly South participated as well.
The masterclass lasted three hours and fifteen minutes, during which students completed a series of tasks, working with the students from the other schools. They learnt about Pascal’s triangle, broke and made some ciphers and also tried to solve a virtual escape room, which was both challenging and fun.
Overall, students enjoyed VHAP and the Masterclass, finding it interesting, exciting and stimulating.
