Learning in 2021

Year 10 Outdoor Education

Mr Skewes and his Year 10 Outdoor Education class visited the Toolangi State Forest for a day of learning. 

They considered the different ways humans interact with the environment. How lucky are we to have such a spectacular outdoor classroom so close by?

Year 12 Outdoor Education and Environmental Studies

Mr Skewes and Ms Lumsden accompanied our Year 12 Outdoor Education and Environmental Studies to Cape Liptrap for an overnight camp. Students enjoyed the spectacular scenery, all while learning about the history of the Bunurong Coast, swimming and surfing and gaining experiential knowledge of safe outdoor activities. A big thank you to Mr Skewes and Ms Lumsden for giving up your time to provide this opportunity for our students.

Year 8 English- Creative writing excursion

Mr Fritzlaff and Jad enjoyed an afternoon walk into Healesville with 8B. Students visited a number of local sites to gain inspiration for their upcoming campfire story. Stories were told and ideas were shared. We can’t wait to read their finished stories. 

Year 12 Team Building day

The Year 12 Team Building day provided students an opportunity to consider the year ahead and supported them to develop strategies to optimise their pursuit for excellence. Students heard from Elevate, an organisation known for their ability to connect with young people and share tips and tricks relevant to VCE and VCAL study. Following this, students walked to the RSL where they were treated to an inspirational speech by Beau Vernon. Beau was an active and talented sportsman when he became a paraplegic at the age of 23. Beau shared his journey and focussed on encouraging students to acknowledge negative thoughts, but not to spend too much time doing this, and instead learning to focus on helpful thoughts. Mr Morison, Mrs Jackson, Lisa and Mrs Mitchell also ran sessions on teambuilding, wellbeing strategies and the importance of friendship during Year 12 and beyond. Our Year 12s are ready to go and we will continue to support them throughout this year

7C- Healthy Breakfast

Ms Shelley’s 7C Food class have been learning about healthy eating options. 

They enjoyed making a healthy breakfast, and the best thing? They got to eat it too!
