Brain Breaks with 7E
During a recent Brain Break, our Year 7E class experimented with tension and inertia, getting hands on in class!
Year 12 VET Sport and Recreation
Our Year 12 VET Sport and Recreation class recently visited Our Lady of the Nativity Primary School to run a soccer day as part of their Footy Fun Day.
The students planned for this over a few weeks to ensure they were prepared for the day, designing different drills and activities to cater every age group from prep to grade 6. They also practised on one of our own Year 7 classes in the lead up.
The students were fantastic and received some amazing feedback.
The day enabled the VET students to complete one of their assessment tasks for their ‘conduct sports coaching sessions with foundation level participants’ unit.

The week of the 2nd of September saw our community celebrating Sustainability Week. Students had a daily compass crossword, herb planning, a biodiversity survey, and movie night at CTK. It was a fantastic week, highlighting all the ways that we can create a greener world both within the school and in our homes.
Year 11 LM Class
Currently, our Year 11 Learner Mentor classes are focusing on leadership and teamwork.
During recent classes, students formed groups to work with one another on the construction of catapults, using popsicle sticks, rubber bands and paper cups.
Final catapults were brought together for an epic LM vs LM catapult skirmish.
Congratulations to 11A, who won the battle!
VCE VM Student Reflection
As a VCE VM student I am required to complete a week of work experience anywhere I want.
Wanting to enter a tight knit industry and become an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer specialising in aircraft electrical and instruments, I thought that this would be the best opportunity to make a list of potential employers and see if any would mentor me for a week.
I sat and wrote letters to each of these companies.
Avionics 2000 at Essendon Airport responded and after a discussion with them I had a week of work experience organised and booked in. I was given many tasks by them throughout the week.
One of the tasks I was given was to repair the traffic camera on the Channel 7 news helicopter. I worked closely with a qualified Maintenance Engineer and I had made a suggestion as to a temporary fix on the traffic camera due to the parts being unavailable. These suggestions, my work ethic, the experience of the week and my asking of questions have led to an offer of full-time employment of an apprenticeship at the completion of year 12 which I am very happy about.
The VCE VM program has given me the opportunity to connect with valuable employers and point me in the right direction to get to the dream industry/job I was looking for and I am very grateful to my teachers and Ms Pilioglou for all the opportunities.

Year 10 Outdoor Recreation Rock Climbing Excursion
The aim of the Year 10 rock climbing excursion was to demonstrate to students additional forms of activity beyond traditional sports, with a focus on engaging physical, social and mental health. It also connects with the corresponding theory we teach, where we look at identifying risks and barriers to recreation, and effective strategies for harm minimisation in Outdoor Recreation Class.
During the session our students were given a safety briefing on safe partnered top rope climbing, and their understanding was tested on an introductory wall before being allowed to choose their next walls to scale independently. Rock climbing at Year 10 over the last few years has been excellent at building confidence, trust in peers and social development, all through an enormously fun activity.
