Yr12 Cradle Mountain Hike, Yr 11/12 Film Excursion, Interschool Athletics, ANZAC Day, Yr 7-11 Melbourne Excursion

This week our Year 12 students head off to Cradle Mountain (in Tasmania just in case you didn't know!) to hike the Overland Track as part of the final units of their Outdoor Education subject.  They will be accompanied by teachers Darren Gill and Brooke Hutchings.

Other Year 11 and 12 students travel a little closer to home to watch 'That Sugar Film', which funnily enough, is a film about sugar.  This is to augment their Food Technology and Human Development studies.  No more school donut days for them after watching, I expect!

A large mob of Senior School students head off to an interschool athletics carnival in Colac with, hopefully, some great successes.

A number of students will also take part in the ANZAC Day commemoration proceedings this Saturday.  Primary school students have created artworks of remembrance (see Foodworks, the RSL or our front office) and Year 9 students made 100 ceramic poppies for display.  Thank you to the local knitters and crocheters who made the lovely poppies to accompany these.

Year 7-11 students also head off to Melbourne to see the Black Diggers exhibition at the Gallery.  It details the largely forgotten history of Aboriginal soldiers of World War One.  This is funded by and Arts Connect program which encourages rural students to access theatre and these type of cultural events.

Good grief – I have run out of room and still not covered everything...next week!
