Academic Activities
Women in STEAM
On Friday 13th May all female identifying students in year 10 had the opportunity to meet and hear from a range of women in different areas of STEAM. The students had the opportunity to ask any questions they had around their journeys, careers in STEAM and explore pathways to their desired outcomes. The students will have the opportunity to have mentoring from the speakers in a following workshop on May 25th.
Market Day!
On Tuesday 10th May, Year 11 Business Management students held Market Day, running businesses of their own creation for the HPSC community. They spent several weeks planning their stalls and invested their own money to cover all operating costs. Some businesses made a tidy profit and their “taxes” will be donated to charity. All teams gained a fresh perspective on the challenges of running a business. Congratulations to our future business people!
VCE and Careers Expo
On Thursday 28th April, students from years 10-12 attended a VCE and Careers Expo at Caufield Racecourse.
At the expo, students had access to Universities, tertiary institutions and training colleges, as well as information about employment and apprenticeships/internships. Seminars were on offer, exploring a variety of topics such as employment, apprenticeship and gap year information, need-to-know information about the ATAR, subject selection for year 10 students, and exam preparation for VCE Units 3 & 4 English, Maths, Biology and Psychology.
Big Science Competition!
Congratulations to the students who participated in the Big Science Competition on 11/05/22. These student's stayed back after school to get their mindset focused on all things Science! The competition was a 50 minute online test and all students worked hard to complete the questions before the timer went off. They conducted themselves with honor and distinction, and upheld the school values at all times. A huge pat on the back to these young representatives of our college.

Last Term, Garden Tools Australia kindly donated a set of garden tools to our Grow, Cook, Eat class for them to use in their practical studies! A big thank you to Garden Tools Australia for their donation, the tools are already being put to good use!
Compost Awareness Week!
Sunday 1st May - Saturday 7th May was Compost Awareness Week, and our VCAL Work Related Skills class built a new compost bay out of old pallets. We will be using this compost bay to turn autumn leaves from around the school, coffee grounds from the Makerspace Cafe and food scraps from the kitchen and canteen into compost to use in gardens around the school!
Year 10 VCAL
Last week our Year 10 VCAL Students started their project work with River Gum Primary School. The project involves exploring social, cultural and emotional issues and raising awareness of these issues in and around the HPSC Community.
