Shrine of Remembrance
They joined other Secondary and Primary school students from Victoria, keeping the ANZAC Spirit alive by commemorating ANZAC Day and the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who have served our country.
 
This ANZAC Commemoration Ceremony for Students was also live streamed.


Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Margaret Gardner AC, Governor of Victoria were in attendance to address the students and the ceremony included Defence Force Cadets, school band & choir and a RAAF fly-over.


Also on Thursday 25 April, our SRC representatives attended  a memorable ANZAC Day event at our local Bentleigh RSL ! It's wonderful to see our student leaders taking part in such important commemorations, alongside community leaders like Yvette Herft, our 2024 School Council President and Nick Staikos. 
Our honoured Senior College Captains laid a wreath on behalf of the school.

Lest we forget indeed!

 

Congratulations to Andrew J, Nicola S and Zac N who competed on Monday 22 April in the SMR and State diving competition at MSAC. They qualified due to achieving top 3 performances at the Kingston Carnival in March.

Congratulations to Zac N who also won a GOLD medal in the State Diving in the 15-16 boys age group.

Nicola and Andrew finished 3rd in the region and Zac finished 2nd in the region. In the State Championships, Nicola finished 7th and Andrew achieved 6th  which is a marvellous result.
  
Congratulations again to Zac N after performing an amazing array of dives in competition.

The IBL project is a guided inquiry-based project. Students work through the process of setting up a food-based business.

Students are off grid for one week working with their normal timetabled teachers (no ‘normal’ timetabled classes). Students still attend their electives and Year level Sport class.

Throughout this project, the goal is to engage students with their learning. We give them the space to learn something new and move them away from a ‘we do a project to get a mark on our reports’ mindset.

A series of student goals have been developed as our ‘success criteria’ for students with the aim of developing their 21st century skills.

1. To assist them with the application and synthesis of knowledge and skills
2. To encourage their critical and creative thinking
3. To motivate them to “think outside the box”
4. To develop higher order thinking skills
5. To increase responsibility and decision-making skills
6. To build their communication skills
7. To assist students in group work

• student data including;
• aptitude assessments,
• interests,
• personality and
• learning styles.

Students are required to choose from subjects offered as both core subjects (English and Mathematics) and from a selection of elective subjects. Students may also elect to choose a VCE or TAFE subject to study.

Students can:

• Check this Website for the Middle School (for Year 10 Subjects) and senior School Handbook (for VCE subjects).
• Read about the different subjects, talk to teachers, and make your selections.
• Look at all the wonderful VET subjects on offer
• Consider what field you like to be involved in after you finish high school?

Immersing students in real-world operations at a company like Yakult Australia can offer them firsthand exposure to concepts they learn in the classroom.  Students applied their knowledge of Operations Management by observing the day-to-day operations of the Yakult factory. The production of goods and services is a core objective of businesses. Effective management of the process of transforming inputs into outputs is vital to the success of a business, both in terms of maximising the efficiency and effectiveness of the production process and meeting the needs of stakeholders. 
Students gathered information during this excursion regarding operations management and assessed the best and most responsible use of available resources to produce a quality final good or service in a competitive, global environment.

Events like these not only promote physical activity but also foster a sense of community and teamwork among students and staff. Congratulations to all participants for their effort and sportsmanship.
