This Friday, the students will be heading to the river to carry out another round of testing, allowing them to monitor changes in water quality over time and contribute to ongoing environmental investigations.
Colour Run at Donald Primary:
On Wednesday, 10 June, the Year 7 students attended DHS to assist the VM students in running a Colour Run for local primary school students.
The event was a great success and provided a fun and engaging afternoon for everyone involved. The Year 7 students represented the school exceptionally well, demonstrating enthusiasm, responsibility, and a positive attitude throughout the day.
As a token of appreciation for their assistance and excellent behaviour, the students were treated to a hot chip lunch. Their contribution helped make the event an enjoyable experience for all participants.
