Student & Subject Spotlight

Student Spotlight: Lola Auty

At our 2023 Senior Art Exhibition in November last year, Lola's work was chosen to be displayed at QVMag. This month, Senior Visual Art students were able to visit ArtRage at QVMag, where they were able to see Lola's artworks on display. Congratulations, Lola!

"My artworks that got chosen to be in ArtRage 2023 were a beach painted on a guitar and a Walkman painted on a vinyl record. I never intended the guitar to be an artwork for the class until it was almost done. I did it for a friend and the process of making it was one of the highlights of last year as we tried fixing and altering the instrument as have previous students before us. Another highlight was finding out it got picked for the exhibition." Lola Auty, Year 12 

Subject Spotlight: Outdoor Education

Check out these amazing photos taken by Bradley Moylan from an early morning SUP session last week. 

This week students participated in a rock-climbing session at the Cataract Gorge. 

Outdoor Education is a Year 11/12 course that we offer at LCS. Over the course of the year, students learn:  

• About technical knowledge and safety skills required to participate in adventure recreation and/or expedition experiences
• Personal and social skills and how to operate as an effective group member
• To set and reflect on personal goals related to various outdoor activities
• The importance of sustainable practice to help protect our natural environments for future generations
• About planning, logistics, nutrition, First Aid, navigation, weather interpretation and risk management considerations related to planning for outdoor recreation activities.

In a typical lesson, students might:

• Undertake a variety of shorter in the field and classroom-based experiences
• Prepare for specific adventure activities and/or expeditions, problem solving and team building exercises
• Take part in activities which may include kayaking, rock climbing, bush walking, abseiling, caving, snorkelling, surfing, mountain biking and/or self-contained expeditions
• Prepare a digital or verbal presentation reflecting on my experiences and their impact
• Do an overnight self-contained land and/or water journey-based expedition.
