Longerenong College Immersion Day

Last term, the Year 10 students spent the day at Longerenong College exploring the different pathway options within agriculture. It was a great opportunity to find out more about the programs that are available including the breeding and cropping program, and the use of data technology. The presenters on the day shared their own career pathways that included applied science, veterinary science, agronomy, marketing, human resources and employment in shearing, animal handling and working in feedlots. Thank you to Longerenong College for a very informative day.

Last week of term fun!

Year 7 Textiles finished their ugly dolls and Mrs Rook's Year 8/9 Textiles completed their projects including scrunchies, tote bags and book bags.

VCE VM student Phoenix McKinnon organised a session with Headspace for the Year 8 students to attend.

The grand final of the fast five netball competition was played at lunch time on the last day of term. Well done to all teams and congratulations to the green team for winning!
