This year we had a group of Year 7 students participate in Tree Day. Under instruction from the Sustainability Team, we planted native trees, shrubs and grasses in the indoor/outdoor classroom between H-wing and the Gym.

A member of the Indigenous Cultural Team came in to demonstrate Indigenous weapons, tools, music and cultural stories for our studies, supporting our work in Outdoor Education.

Last week was the week of the world-famous LHC Music Camp, held up at Oasis Camp in Mt Evelyn. It was a packed few days of music, rehearsals, quality food and all-round fun.

On Friday July 19th, Year 8 students participated in the Voice of 8. Students spent a day engaging in a learning area of their choice.

Students who are studying Japanese this year went to Eastland in the last week of Term 2 to discover where Japanese language and culture is evident in the community. Much to their delight, Japanese was everywhere!

Students participating in the Café Culture course have just completed a week on coffee extraction and a week on milk texturing. Over the next couple of weeks they will be putting the two together to create a range of coffee’s.

After two years of studying Japanese at the College, Year 8 students have written their final assessment task for the year – a letter written in Japanese script, using genkoyoushi.

It has been a challenging couple of days in various ways for the students. Walking in the rain with full hike pack created some hazards on the slippery tracks. All students coped very well and developed their navigation techniques.

In a first for the college, the Family Science Night included a Science competition. Congratulations to our 5 inaugural winners.

Congratulations to the Year 7 students on their recent presentations on Japanese traditional children’s games!

Students ran a successful weekly program with the Year 7 students as part of their transition into high school and they put a lot of thought into activities that the younger students would enjoy.
