Announcement regarding road works on Boardwalk Boulevard

Over the last week, school leadership has been meeting with representatives of the Wyndham Council. Starting next Monday 23 October and going through to Monday 30 October (inclusive) the section of Boardwalk Boulevard outside the front of the school will be ripped up and re-laid, which will lead to major disruption and noise – half road closures (including closure of the slip lane in front of the school for a few days – we don’t know which), very loud machinery, complications with crossing the road.

The road works will have a significant impact on access to the school for a week or so, and might require some planning ahead. As we get more specific detail about actual days and closures, we will communicate to the school community via Compass and on the school website. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the works, the exact arrangements will only be known with a few days notice.

During this time, we advise parents who drive students to school to drop the students and pick them up a block or 2 away from the school to avoid the works.

Students should be extra cautious when crossing Boardwalk Boulevard during this time. The normal school crossing will be open and a crossing guard will be in attendance.

Throughout our meetings with Wyndham Council, we have been clear that the works can not disturb or interrupt the VCE exams in any way. Wyndham Council have been very receptive of this message and have assured us that the road works will not impact exams in any way.

Business Management Excursion

The Port of Melbourne Business Management excursion for Year 12 students was an eye opener to how our City’s Port operates. Journeying to the Port’s information facility beside the control tower, students learnt of the economical contributions that the Port provides to Victoria and the environmental considerations, which guide the Port’s functions. Touring the government-funded business with Port Education Coordinator, Kristy Janin, the students gained information about the structure of the facility, its operation and its management to apply to their studies in Unit 3. The trip overall was a successful learning excursion, providing students of Business Management with a great insight to how the Port operates, relating to our studies. The students would like to thank Ms. Janin for her captivating presentation.

Science Fair

Thursday 19 November was the last Science Fair of the 2015 school year and I would have to say the best yet. We had plenty of visitors stop by to show their support for the hard work that students put into their displays. Though three projects were the standouts, I would like to congratulate all of the students who tried their best to come up with an idea that challenged their way of looking at the world. Science is a wonderful area of study where you can question the world and figure out the answers yourself.

Our winners this semester clearly thought through their ideas and showed deeper understanding of scientific terminology as well as the scientific method. First place went to Kira Legenhausen and Zakhi Mehta with their Splitting Water experiment. Second place went to Jyothi Sridhar and Natasha Kikidis for their Think Before You Drink experiment. Third place went to Alex Caluian and Justin Milsome for their Bottle Rocket experiment. At every science fair our principal also judges to find what he thinks to be a deserving project; due to their innovation, recognition of imperfections, and identification of possible improvements for the future, Kira Legenhausen and Zakhi Mehta also won the Principal Choice award

VCAL - Personal Development Skills

As part of our Personal Development Skills class, we were required to plan and organise an activity that promoted group cohesion, and to contribute and participate in an activity involving a group. On Tuesday 18tAugust, we visited Airodrome at the Westgate Centre in North Altona. As a class we participated in acrobatics, dodge ball and trampoline basketball.

The students had a fun-filled morning bouncing, laughing, smiling and mingling with each other. We enjoyed somersaulting into the foam pits and playing games that promoted team work. This was an excellent way to apply our learning about teamwork and practically meet our outcomes by getting outside of the school grounds. On Wednesday 2 September, Year 11 Personal Development Skills students met at Williams Landing and caught a train into Melbourne to participate in the Salvation Army Youth Homelessness School Tour. After getting off at Flinders Street Station, we walked to the top end of Bourke St where we met Lucinda Young at the Salvation Army.

Once there, we watched a presentation on homelessness and participated in some statistics-based activities. After our one hour workshop, Lucinda took us on a tour around the city to visit known locations of where homeless people sleep rough. The tour gave us an understanding of the conditions that homeless people live with on a daily basis. This trip coincides with our planning of a fundraising BBQ for the Salvation Army. Both of these activities have allowed us to complete some of our VCAL outcomes in a practical way, while also helping the community.

Congratulations to Leanne Lim

Leanne Lim, of year 11, was recently announced as the winner of the Victorian Education Department’s “One Team, One Goal” arts competition which challenged students to creatively demonstrate their understanding of cultural diversity.
The competition received entries from hundreds of students across Victoria in the form of videos, visuals and radio commercials. Leanne won the secondary category with her unique drawing of two hands holding a football. The design, reproduced on the next page (together with Leanne’s design statement), represents the power that sport has to tie people together regardless of their background. Leanne’s award was announced and presented at a special ceremo-ny held at the National Gallery of Victoria during the week leading up to the AFL multicultural round.
Leanne’s prize includes: a certificate signed by the Deputy Premier; a $2,500 grant for their school to support intercultural understanding activities; a football clinic for the school run by an AFL Multicultural Ambassador; 10 special edition One Team, One Goal footballs for the school; 50 tickets for use by the school at a Multicultural Round football game; work displayed in an online gallery on the competition website. Clearly, most of the prize ends up being for the benefit of the school and the school community. I know the many students who enjoyed free tickets to the Bulldogs v Port Adelaide AFL match during the multicultural round benefited from Leanne’s success.
We are very proud of Leanne’s achievement, of her talent, and of the intelligent and thoughtful perspective she has brought to the work.
