Mountain Biking Sessions - Term 1 2018

Middle School Outdoor Education – Mountain Biking Sessions Over the past 2 weeks, our middle school group has been working on embracing a different activity for many of the students – Mountain Biking. Certainly not without its risks we have been working on simple bike handling skills around school and then extending them to riding in various situations: roads, cycle tracks, single track around the lake, over obstacles and finally the Lilydale BMX track. All had their ups and downs and excitement. I was extremely impressed with our middle school group. They have totally excelled themselves, managing their bikes, themselves and responding to various challenges along the way. These students clearly adopted the nature of outdoor adventure activities, really wanting to extend themselves and have a go at things they do not normally find comfortable. Well done, our next activity is Kayaking in a couple of weeks - please return all permissions and the Kayaking medical form as soon as possible.

Compass and Duke of Edinburgh Award Presentation 2018

This week we had our awards presentation evening and launched our new program for 2018. Thank you to all those parents and families that attended, it was great to feel the enthusiasm for an opportunity I am extremely passion about. The Compass and Duke of Ed Award program allows the students to build confidence, communication, teamwork, resilience, problems solving, adaptability and leadership when working through the 4 areas of the program. They have to complete a number of hours per week developing a skill, completing physical activity and giving to a community service; then the whole experience finishes in a camping adventurous journey into a natural environment. Well done to our Compass Level 3 and 4 awardees! Level 3 Isabella Theophanous-Maddison Aimee Norris Chloe Sheerman Tayla Andersen Level 4 Jonah Go Mahan Davodikandaragh Phaelin Senior Cat D’Couto The launch of our 2018 program was excellent with an outstanding number of students across year levels registering for the Compass and Bronze/Silver Duke of Ed awards. I look forward to our year ahead and can’t wait to show our college community of the skills, experiences and journey we complete. Well done Award Students 2018!
