Careers Week
This week has been Careers Week at the College!
Students have been busy in LM classes completing A-Z Careers Challenges, busting careers myths and playing careers Kahoot. Our Year 11 and 12 students have attended the Careers Expo at Melbourne Showgrounds to discover potential career paths, and our Year 10 students attended a Shape Your Destiny Incursion to explore turning their passions into their futures.
It's been an incredible week, and we hope all our students feel inspired to live their dreams in the future!
Visual Arts Week
Visual Arts Week was held last week, with students celebrating across both campuses. It was incredible to see so many students engaging with the visual arts, whether it was through creating Mother's Day Cards, in an Art and Poetry session or through using everyday tools such as paper or pipe cleaners to create masterpieces!
Mother's Day Mass and Breakfast
Our annual Mother's Day Mass and Breakfast continues to be an incredible morning, filled with love and appreciation for all the mothers in our lives.
The morning began with a mass where we thanked, blessed and prayed for the mothers both within our community and in the wider world, followed by a breakfast and time of community to celebrate all the wonderful mothers who attended.
We were delighted to welcome so many attendees to the morning, with a full house at both the mass and breakfast! We invite all families to RSVP in advance to College events, to ensure that catering and staffing can be generous.
This Is Your Body Nutrition Incursion
Our Year 10 Community Health classes recently completed incursions with This Is Your Body Nutrition.
The session explored a huge range of cultural and social expectations and subconscious messaging our students may have encountered, and how to prioritise nurtition and a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.
This included discovering:
- Body image & the factors that influence the way we feel about ourselves
- Navigating diet culture in a digital era (parasocial relationships and influencer marketing)
- Why we eat
- Nutrition basics (carbohydrates, fats, protein, calcium) and how we can use those foods for energy
- Challenging the beliefs we hold about food
- Diet culture myth-busting
- Body appreciation as the path forward
- Strategies to prepare food and learn to accept our bodies
It was such a valuable session, and we hope students left the session feeling confident in their ability to navigate the tricky landscape of nutrition.
Commedia dell'Arte Incursion
As part of the Performing Arts curriculum, students are required to view and analyse a live performance.
We recently welcomed a Commedia dell’Arte production to the College, and the production was a classic example of a Commedia dell'Arte show, with popular characters from the 16th century reimagined as contemporary, real life pulbic figures. Students responded with a great deal of positivity, and really got involved in the audience participation that's so central to this style of theatre!
New Coaching for Sports Academy
We are excited to announce that our Sports Academy is working with two new coaching organisations.
The Athlete Development team through the Universal Athlete Centre will be working with our students to coach and improve basketball skills as well as strength and conditioning. The Lustica Football team will be providing specialised European football training and player development for our students.
Bringing experts in to work with our students ensures that they can receive specialist training, and we can't wait to see where these collaborations will take us!
