Our VCE Business Management students recently went behind the scenes at a Chocolaterie to see how a successful manufacturing business operates. 🍫✨

Guided by expert chocolatiers, students participated in a hands-on workshop, learning the art of chocolate making and creating their own delicious treats to take home.

By stepping onto the production floor, students gained valuable real-world insights into business operations, including production processes, resource management, waste minimisation, and how raw ingredients are transformed into high-quality products.

A fantastic opportunity to connect classroom theory with industry practice — and enjoy a sweet learning experience along the way!

A highlight of the day was the educational commentary and Q&A session, where students had the opportunity to interact with professional and emerging musicians.

It was a memorable experience that inspired curiosity, creativity, and a greater appreciation for the performing arts.

Our Year 3 and 4 students recently enjoyed an exciting excursion to the Discovery Science and Technology Centre in Bendigo. 🔬✨

From exploring interactive exhibits to participating in hands-on STEM activities and experiencing the Planetarium, students spent the day discovering, questioning, and learning through exploration.

It was wonderful to see so much curiosity, enthusiasm, and problem-solving in action, making the experience both educational and memorable.

Our Keysborough Campus Year 4 students had a blast putting their STEM learning into action through a series of exciting hands-on challenges. 🏎️🔧

Working in teams, students built miniature billy karts, raced around the track, and designed their own wooden cars using nuts, bolts, and washers. Along the way, they applied their knowledge of forces and motion, thinking critically about how different forces affected their creations and activities.

A fantastic example of learning, teamwork, and creativity in action! ✨

Our Foundation students had a fantastic time at TwistED Science Echuca, exploring a range of interactive activities connected to their learning about forces. 🔬✨

On the exhibit floor, students investigated how forces work through hands-on experiences and engaging challenges. They also participated in a special push-and-pull workshop, where they applied the knowledge and skills developed during their STEM lessons in Term 2.
