Last week students from CESC participated alongside a number of other schools in the Monash University Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) discussing and debating issues related to the United Nations goal of ‘Zero hunger’. Our students represented Peru, Ethiopia, Japan and the United States of America.

MUNA was an informative opportunity for us to be able to learn about other countries and work as teams that represent a country to be able to create solutions that resolve our issue; Food Security: Zero Hunger.

- Hezel Virdi, 9H and Urena Verma, 9L

Students at CESC were given the golden opportunity to go to Monash University and experience being in an environment similar to the United Nations Assembly. The students debated on the humanitarian crises of world hunger and gained a deeper insight of the issue. The day was a resounding success! (Gunkar Year 9)

Japan and Ethiopia both had their proposals to various clauses in the preamble ratified by the general assembly. With Ethiopia, it was unanimous ratification, which is especially impressive.

The United States was under sustained pressure from China and their allies, but managed to nullify a proposal by China which went against USA national interests.

Peru also managed to nullify a proposal which would go against their national interests.

Year 11 VCE-VM Updates

It’s been a busy Semester for our Year 11 cohort who have been adventuring in and out of the classroom as they head towards the end of Unit 1. We have provided a variety of opportunities for students to apply the skills and content they are leaning in different contexts.

Werribee Zoo

Our Year 11 students were out and about for some cross-curricular exploration at Werribee Zoo where they looked at the career pathway of Zookeepers and the OH&S demands of working with animals. Students took a safari ride through the park and were up to have some interesting encounters with animals along the way.

Careers Expo

Our Year 11 students headed out for a half day at the South East Try-A-Trade Careers Expo where they were able to connect with local training organisations such as TAFEs, employers, and explore apprenticeship and traineeship opportunities. The expo provided them with an opportunity to get hands on in some of the offerings available to them. The students came away with lots of informative brochures, and goodies from the stalls.

Reach Workshops

This term our students engaged in a Reach workshop in class that helped them to better build connections with each other, and break down the barriers that make them feel isolated. The program allowed students to recognise the positive values in each other, and see how they could better relate. It was a powerful experience hearing truths from our Year 11 students and seeing their respect for one another grow.

As we head towards the end of term we have a number of things to look forward to:

Mt Buller Ski Camp – we are hoping to get out expected numbers so that we can run this camp in Term 3. A deposit of $200 is required and payment plans are available. (See Compass)
Year 11 Celebration Day – 13th of June – Period 1 Awards Assembly followed by a trip to Gravity Zone. (See Compass)
Year 11 Formal… coming soon…
