Our Year 12 VCE Vocational Major Numeracy students kicked off their new unit on measurement with a hands-on exploration of the school grounds. They observed and identified various real-world applications of measurement, discussing the potential consequences of inaccuracies.

Some impressively precise estimations were achieved! This exercise provided a valuable opportunity to discuss and refine strategies for estimation in the context of measurement.

During Term 1, our Year 11 Physical Education class visited Yarra Ranges Tech School for a hands-on exploration of the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems! 🏃♀️🫀💪
Students participated in a range of agility tests, collected real-time sensor data, and explored training aids like sprinting parachutes. They also tested their force application, jump height, and hang time using force plates!
After lunch, students completed CPR training with real-time feedback and took a deep dive into the muscular and skeletal system using VR goggles—an incredible immersive experience! 🥽
A huge thank you to Yarra Ranges Tech School for providing such an engaging, high-tech learning opportunity. We can’t wait to analyze our data back in class! 📊
Our VCE VET Music students took a unique approach to sharpening their listening skills—by playing blindfolded! 🎵👀
