Hands On Learning

Hands on Learning

We would like to acknowledge the generosity of Brock and Jody Perry from ORBE for their kind donation to Hands on Learning of $3000.  Orbe Fire Engineering provide professional fire engineering and fire protection consulting services to the building and construction industry. They develop performance solutions to allow for efficient and cost effective building design to meeting the building code of Australia requirements, community expectation and authority requirements.

Their contribution will allow our HOL students to continue to develop critical skills and abilities to succeed in work and life.

The donation will be put towards buying equipment for our students to continue to their work within the Melton Secondary College Community.

Billy Cart Day

For the last four weeks the students of Hands on Learning have been working hard on designing and building three billy carts to compete in an interschool billy cart race held at Riddles Creek.  Our school came third overall out of eight schools, with a time of 10.4 seconds. We had fun watching the other schools race their karts.  There were a few crashes and broken karts by the end of the day.
