Around the classroom 

A glimpse of the many and varied activities within the classroom across all domains in the last few weeks. 

VCE Physical Education 

Unit 3 & 4 12 PE students had an excursion to Richmond Football Club on Friday 23 August. They had a tour of the Punt Road facilities, watched part of a Richmond FC training session and then the students participated in a high performance training session, which included altitude training, a circuit training session and a recovery session in ice baths.

Japanese Model United Nations Assembly 

On Thursday 22 August, five students studying Year 12 Japanese attended a Model United Nations Assembly which was held completely in Japanese. The theme of the meeting was Gender Equality: Empowering Women and Girls. Katie Barnshaw, Ayannah Blazek, Eleena Chang, Marion Scully and Diane Luo represented the United Kingdom. Students from various schools across Victoria represented other countries. After initial position statements from each country, there was vigorous debate in the caucus session. The UK challenged countries using customs and tradition as excuses to do more for gender equality. The day ended with amendments to the draft resolution. The MGSC students representing the UK put forward a new clause urging member states to educate young people about the importance of gender equality which was added to the resolution with a majority vote! It was a great end to a very challenging but rewarding day.
