Victorian Challenge and Enrichment Series at Taylors Lakes Secondary College 2021
In 2021 Taylors Lakes Secondary College has begun to deliver a range of programs across learning areas that offer extension for Highly Able Students. Students can nominate themselves for programs and teachers also put names forward for student participants.
Students have been granted places in the 2021 Moon Camp and Stem Camp taking place in September. Taylors Lakes has also managed to secure Science extension working with the Space program using a high-resolution telescope in Term 3.
Additionally, we will be offering a range of VCE exam preparation workshops to support student preparedness for assessment. For any parent or student enquiries, please contact me TLSC High Ability Practice Leader, Elizabeth Green Elizabeth.Green@education.vic.gov.au
Victorian Challenge and Enrichment Series Term 1 Writer’s Workshop
On March the 1st, 12 students participated in a writer’s workshop which focused on creating Fractured Fairy Tales using a digital platform. Students were shown how to take ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and create a fractured fairytale that diverted from the original in various ways. Using the Metaverse app students created a digital storyboard which could be played as a choose your own adventure. Students were engaged throughout the workshop and produced a variety of different and interesting versions of Little Red Riding Hood.

The writer’s workshop was a great experience for me. I really enjoyed the different style of learning and it was really fun. It was a creative way to write stories and it allowed us to bring our imagination into it as well.
