VIBE Festival

Students attending the Senior Campus sessions had the opportunity to be challenged by a series of short, timed tasks. Each task required the construction of an item using planks. Planks are small pieces of timber, all the same size and weighting, created by a Victorian workshop. There were no rules to how the objects were made other than planks are the only building material used and at the end of five minutes a recognisable object has been created. The only limitation was that we own 1000 planks, so creations needed to be small. The activities were designed to allow visiting students the opportunity to get to know each other and our College students, and to see the facilities and offerings provided by our Winifred Berry Library. You will shortly see a write up of the event on our blog with photographs of our challengers and their creations!

Breakout Edu - Ancient China

As part of our work supporting teachers we set up a variety of activities to support subject learning. This week our Year 7 History classes were challenged to solve tricky clues and break into a set of three locked boxes by working out the lock number, password or providing the answer to a question to get a key. This too will have a write up and photographs as soon as the second class has come through on Thursday.

Have a wonderful holiday and make sure you spend some time reading! For those taking on the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge it’s a golden opportunity to add books to the list. Kierun McClure is on to his third hundred and Lachlan Reid and Rhiognach McClure are onto their second. All Junior School classes are performing really well – our best year since the challenge started by a long way.

Farewell

It has been a pleasure to have Cate Pinca in study. Cate has been at College on a student exchange program. She hails from Italy and is looking forward to starting Year 12 when she gets home. We will

miss her in Study and wish her all the best.
