Year 10 Luna Park and Rolling Stone Excursion 

Wednesday 28 May, 195 Year 10 Students ventured to St Kilda for a big day out. Students were treated to an exclusive 2-hour session at Luna Park, which included unlimited rides. Following Luna Park, our students travelled to the famous Hotel Esplanade to view a recording of The Rolling Stone Podcast. The students were able to hear from photographers, designers, and artists who created the covers for famous musicians such as; Tones and I, the Rubens, and many more! These professionals were able to link their experiences to VET and Vocational Major pathways, which our students may choose to pursue in the future .

As always, we were exceptionally proud of how all of our students represented both themselves and our school.
