A damp start had not dampened their mood and there were smiles and jokes as the day kicked off. Keep an eye on Facebook today for updates on further activities and highlights. The whiteboard below gives a few clues.

23.01.2022 Science, technology, engineering and maths theory were put into practice on Friday for Year 8 students. Working in teams of 3 - 5, students were tasked with designing, building and launching rockets in a race to see who could achieve the longest flight. Congratulations to Zac, Rose and Elsie for taking out line honours.

23.01.2022 The past week saw the HSC exams for 2020 come to a close. Well done to all the Year 12 students who persisted through the unexpected twists and turns of 2020. School Captains, Chris Van Honk and Sophie Hutchinson, were two of four students sitting for an exam on the final day. Once pens were down on their Design and Technology paper there was obvious relief on the students' faces! It is finished! Congratulations! The Daily Advertiser caught up with Chris and Sophie - see link to article below.

20.01.2022 Farewell old friends! Final goodbyes were said as the College steers were loaded onto the truck heading for Yea, Victoria. With Royal Melbourne Show no longer on the calendar for 2020 the work that the students have undertaken breaking in and caring for the cattle is still being judged. Virtual leading competitions - where videos of students leading the animals, have been submitted and now just the cattle are on the way for the Hoof and Hook competition. Well done to all involved.

19.01.2022 Who's looking forward to going into Year 1 next year? The enthusiasm was infectious yesterday as students from Kindergarten to Year 6 spent the morning experiencing the new classroom spaces, teachers and learning which will be formational for their 2021 learning. Children in the Year 1 and 2 classrooms enjoyed a number of activities including cookie decorating and creating marble runs.

18.01.2022 The Remembrance Day service looked a little different this year. Preschool, Junior, Middle and Senior School students and staff stood outside under the verandahs during the Last Post and the minute silence. The College Captains had the opportunity to present a wreath at the Remembrance Day service at Victory Memorial Gardens in town.

18.01.2022 Join with us in prayer, thought and virtually today as we celebrate Class of 2020's last schooling day. Despite COVID guidelines the day is packed full of what will be memorable activities, moments and surprises. Congratulations Year 12!!

17.01.2022 A great collaboration between local businesses, past students and students from across Senior year groups have made participation in this year long STEM competition possible. The students involved have learnt a myriad of skills through the process and have had opportunities to share their experiences with fellow classmates in recent LEGO and 4x4 remote control car competitions between ISD and D&T classes. Read more in the Chronicle this week.

15.01.2022 The traditional guard of honour continued 'COVID' style. Social distancing and rain protection in place meant the whole school could still see Year 12 off in style.

13.01.2022 2S students enjoyed the Book Tasting activity in the library this term. The students were able to expand their knowledge of books to encourage wide and varied reading and to be exposed to different styles of descriptive language. Students 'sampled' different fiction and non-fiction books to identify the adjectives and descriptive language that other authors use. Students recorded the 'delicious' words and back at the classroom, pooled their favourite word's and applied them in their writing.

09.01.2022 Essential life skills! Year 7 have been hard at work in the kitchen this term developing, testing and recording recipes. Each student contributed to a series of cookbooks which were printed and published as a memory of a great year in Mandatory Technology. Not only did the students cook and taste each recipe, they styled the plates and photographed the results ready for compilation of the cook books. What a great resource for their home kitchen.

Starting with watching the sunrise from the top of Rocky Hill and a cooked breakfast at school they were then off to Borambola Sport and Rec facility for mud runs and team challenges which tested student's ability to work together, listen and complete tasks. Certainly a great day together!
