MS Pathways Week
Year 9 and 10 students took part in Pathways Week last week. This was an opportunity for our students to learn about the different subjects on offer within Years 10 and 11 from our highly experienced Faculty Heads.
We also had external providers on site for the Year 10’s so they are able to make informed pathway choices in their senior years.
Days like these ensure that our students are receiving relevant information so that they can start to prepare for their future journeys, goals and aspirations.
Middle School Information Night
It’s that time of year again when we begin conversations with students and families about the year ahead and start the subject selection process. The Middle School information night gave both students and families valuable insights to help guide their decisions for next year and beyond.
Year 9 Journalism SYN Radio
Our Year 9 Journalism students have started to present their own radio show live on air to be broadcast on SYN Radio. This experience has provided students with real life experience in the Journalism industry.
Year 9 Intro to Outdoor Ed Community Service Program
Year 9 Intro to Outdoor Ed (Duke of Ed) students represented their school and themselves with pride at the Aveo Fountain Retirement Village. Students were immersed in deep conversation with the residents and learning whilst they played pool, bingo, table tennis and started to knit! It was heart warming to see our students connect with the community and learn some new skills along the way.
E-Scooter Safety – What Students and Parents Need to Know
E-scooters are becoming an increasingly popular mode of transport for students and community members alike. With their growing use, it’s important that both parents and students understand the safety requirements and legal responsibilities that come with riding an e-scooter in Victoria.
Below is a summary of the key rules, as outlined by Transport Victoria:
What You Must Do When Riding an E-Scooter
E-scooter riders are required to:
- Be 16 years of age or older
- Wear a helmet at all times
- Ride at a maximum speed of 20 km/h
- Ride single file – not in tandem or side by side
- Ride only on:
-
- Shared-use paths (not footpaths)
- Bicycle paths
- Roads with a speed limit of 60 km/h or less
- Not carry any passengers
- Use front and rear lights (steady or flashing) when riding at night or in low-light conditions
- Park responsibly, ensuring the scooter does not block pedestrian paths or create safety hazards
Why It Matters
These rules are in place to help keep riders and others safe. Failure to follow them can result in fines and puts both the rider and others at risk. As e-scooter use grows, it’s essential we all do our part to promote safe and respectful riding in our community.
