White Card Course

Earlier this week, 13 students completed their Prepare to work safely in the construction industry, an OH&S induction course, commonly referred to as the White Card. Any student undertaking a trade as part of their work experience placement is required to complete this course. It's also an important safety course for those who are considering a trade as their chosen pathway or career. 

This was funded via the Alpine Shire by Junction Support Services, and was provided free of charge to students. Thankyou! Students were grateful for the opportunity, as it would usually cost them approximately $150 each. Thanks also to George, the knowledgeable and experienced trainer who came over from License Me in Wodonga to spend the day training our group.

Science

In Year 7 Science, our students have explored the microscopic world of cells! Using colourful play dough, they crafted detailed models of cells, showing the different cell organelles. 

Transforming Our World

Year 9 and 10 students have delved into how inherited characteristics can result in the different appearance of an animal. Using single alleles for a trait from a male and female parent, students constructed their animal based on the set of paired alleles their animal inherited. 

World War Two

Words by Vicky Levesque

Thanks to Erin Angelini for her time, and to Vicky and Mitch for taking the students on this fantastic excursion.

Our World War II students embarked on a remarkable educational journey as they visited the Bandiana War Museum. Stepping into the past, they delved into the role Australia played in World War II, gaining insights and connections to their nation's history.

Under Major Angelini's expert guidance, our students had the privilege of interacting with invaluable artifacts, each bearing witness to the bravery and sacrifice of those who served. From weapons of warfare to personal mementos, every exhibit spoke volumes about the courage and resilience of the Australian forces during one of humanity's darkest chapters.

As they explored the museum's halls, our students didn't just observe history – they lived it. Their engagement with the artifacts and stories deepened their understanding of the sacrifices made by previous generations, fostering a profound sense of appreciation and respect for the freedoms we enjoy today.

This immersive experience at the Bandiana War Museum has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on our students, igniting a passion for history and a commitment to preserving the memory of those who served. As they return to their studies, they carry with them not only newfound knowledge but also a sense of gratitude for the heroes of Australia's past.
