RAID News

On Wednesday 13th July, the first RAID day for the term was held at school with visits from the Pat Cronin Foundation about ending the coward punch (https://patcroninfoundation.org.au/) and Fizzics Education for a science show (https://www.fizzicseducation.com.au/schools/secondary-science-incursions/tick-tick-boom-2/).

Students heard from our senior school and careers teams about course selections and pathways next year and beyond. More information to come at the subject expo and course advising day (next RAID day in a fortnight).

We also commenced planning for 'My RAID Day', a day in term four (16th November) where students get to plan their own activities for RAID (as long as their plan is approved by teachers).

Here is an outline of the rest of term 3 for RAID:

Wed 27th July

Course advising - no classes for year 9s - more information to come.

Wed 10th August

MCG tour.

Tues 23th August (not a typo, see city stay below)

Vic Market/ACMI/Yarra River/Botanic Gardens/Shrine of Remembrance/NGV

Wed 24th August

Melbourne Zoo

RAID Overnight City Stay - Tues 23rd to Wed 24th August.

We have booked out the entire Hotel Claremont in South Yarra for one night. There are only 148 beds up for grabs, so the first 148 students to get permission will be allowed to stay overnight. I will send an email when permission goes live on Xuno early next term.

Other students may still attend the activities during each day, but not stay the night.

There will be an additional cost for those that stay overnight which will cover the cost of accommodation, a Yarra boat ride, breakfast, a film at the Jam Factory on Chapel Street and dinner. 

Thank you,

RAID Coordinator - Daniel Ralston
