Year 10 Human Movement - Victorian Institute of Sport Visit
For our human movement class, we had an excursion to MSAC to visit the VIS (Victorian Institute Sport). We saw all the different equipment that the athletes use to train for the Olympics, or other professional sports. We were also able to look at the altitude chamber and understand how they train athletes at different altitudes. We also saw where the VO2 max test is conducted and were given a brief overview on how it is done.
Lastly we were shown a PowerPoint on the university degrees, career and job opportunities within sports science and at the VIS, which a lot of us found helpful, as most of us are looking for careers in that area. Overall, the experience was really good, and we were glad to have had the opportunity to be able to attend it.

All a buzz at Glen Eira College
Last week the school yard was visited by a swarm of bees during lunchtime. Thank you to our Facilities Manager Eric for donning his bee keeping gear and taking them to a new home away from the College.
