METEC Year 10

On Friday the 18th May, Year 10 students in Mabo and Freeman went to METEC. Throughout the day we learnt many things about cars, how they work and how to drive them. We were separated into 2 different groups, 5 cars with 3 students in each and 1 instructor. Each student had a turn of driving the car for a period of time, we drove through cones and reversed through bollards. Overall it was a valuable day that we will remember for a long time.

As part of the Year 10 Health course, some Year 10 students travelled to the METEC driving training centre, where we had the opportunity to learn about the key components of road safety. The day included a range of theory and practical driving lessons, covering everything from safe driving procedure to tyre and vehicle checks. This included driving around a course, with an instructor, gaining first-hand knowledge and experience of driving. At first most were a little nervous, especially if it was their first time behind a wheel. However, at the end of the day we had all gained some new knowledge and experience with driving, especially learning the importance of road safety and awareness.

Victorian State Library Forum

On Monday the 7th of May, Year 11 student leaders Michael Syme and I (Phoebe Roach), attended a forum at the Victorian State Library, which gave us the opportunity as youth to express our opinions on our local area, as well as provide feedback as to what the government can do to further strengthen our communities for young people. These areas of improvement included mental health care, recreational spaces and safer public transport.

Throughout the day, we got to collaborate with nearby schools and ask questions to a panel of professionals who are willing to make changes. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to seeing these changes start to be implemented throughout the Eastern area.
