Our Year 7 Presentation 

On Thursday 17 August the Year 11 and Year 12 VCAL students presented their Sustainability Project to the Year 7 students. The presentation informed students about the Wall to Wall project (pictured above), the sustainability garden project, the pond project and excursions to the Knox Environmental Society, Bunnings and Bosch. 

Each group spoke about what they achieved and what steps were taken to achieve the various goals.  After that, the Year 11 students took charge of small groups, teaching them how to use a compass then guiding them on an orienteering activity, created to make students visit the various locations that were mentioned in the presentation.

We received positive feedback from the Year 7’s who enjoyed learning about the work we have done this year.
