Primary School Visits

In late October, groups of Year 7 students visited primary schools in our area.

Students spoke to Grade 6 students about Viewbank College, and what to expect from high school life.

All students spoke well and were fantastic representatives of Viewbank College.

Year 10 Outdoor Education

On Thursday 3/11 the Year 10 Outdoor Education class took part in a Fishcare fishing session in Altona. Students were educated about the types of species in the area, legal limits and the importance of sustainable fishing practices. Students were given the opportunity practice new skills such as casting and baiting while trying at catch their own fish. Unfortunately only seaweed was caught during the session.

Year 8 Camp

Year 8 Camp was held this week at Merricks Lodge with students in Ignis and Stella departing on Monday and returning Wednesday. Students in Hydra and Terra departed on Wednesday and returned today.

This week the Year 8’s visited Merricks Lodge.

One of the things I enjoyed most was snorkelling as I got to see a lot of fish and stingray, even a couple of seals. There was lots of interesting things to do like surfing.
