🥚👶Egg-cellent Parenting Skills!🥚👶

Our Health and Human Development students have been getting a hands-on lesson in parenting recently!📚

As part of Unit 2 AOS 1, students have been learning about prenatal, infancy and early childhood development, including the milestones we reach as we grow and develop.🌱🧠✨

To bring their learning to life, the class took on the challenge of caring for their very own ‘egg baby’ for 10 days!👨‍👩‍👧

The project gave students an insight into the skills and responsibilities of parenting, including the rewards, challenges and constant supervision that come with caring for a child.👀🍼

From decorating their egg babies and bassinets to keeping their ‘babies’ safe and supervised, the project was equal parts fun and challenging!🎨🥚😂

The experience culminated in a very important award ceremony, with Nick receiving the ‘Golden Egg’ award, Claudia taking out ‘Excellent Care’ and Olivia N winning ‘Best Dressed’!🏆👑

As Claudia W reflected, the project was a fun way to discover just how challenging parenting can be—and a good reminder of the time, energy, love, presence, attention, care and focus they require.👶🥚Well done students!😀

Spring Community Gardening Bee🌻🌤🐦

Inviting prospective, future, current and past members of our school community to join us for our upcoming Gardening Bee! Pop by for an hour or get stuck into a task for all three - just know you'll reap many benefits that come from spending time outdoors.💚🌿

Clear your mind & boost your mood - gardening can reduce stress and anxiety while giving your brain a break.🌻🧠
Get active - digging, planting, weeding and mulching are great ways to exercise! You'll build great strength lifting wheelbarrows that's for sure!💪🏃‍♀️
Improve focus & concentration — being outdoors and working with your hands can help you reset and refocus. Hello Yr.12s...🎯🌳
Build skills, confidence & resilience - there’s nothing quite like watching something grow from the seeds you plant yourself.🌱😊
Connect with others - our gardening bees are an informal and social opportunity to meet new people, strengthen connections, and learn from each other.🤝🫶
Give back to our environment - every plant we grow and every branch we mulch helps create a healthier, more biodiverse school environment. Now more than ever we need to do our bit!🐝🌏🌱

Whether you’re an experienced gardener who could help manage the mulching machine or you're new to gardening but eager to learn.💡Perhaps you're just super keen to plant seed or seedlings or you're a student who wants to put 'Environmental Stewardship' on your resume (hello Yr.9 & 10s) under 'Skills'. Regardless of your 'why', come along, chip in and feel connected.🌷🌼

🌏💚🤗

Lobbying & Lessons in Parliament🌱🏛️

Recently, six of our Year 12 Eco Crew students — Cielo, Samantha, Anna, Jack, Clarissa and Eva — joined three students from MLC — Christina, Hilary and Ivy — at Parliament to meet with Shadow Environment Minister, Nick McGowan.🍃🫱🏾‍🫲🏻✨

Their message was clear: stronger protection and funding for national parks, tighter logging laws, and more care for Country.🪵🌳🐨

After weeks of research and preparation, these motivated students delivered thoughtful, practical and passionate arguments for protecting our native forests and all living creatures.🪺🌿🦉

Spending three hours after school in Parliament during a sitting week (!) gave the students a fascinating insight into the demands of political life and our democratic process — while giving them a rare opportunity to advocate directly for issues they care deeply about.🪓🪾🔥🗣️

They even had the chance to sit in the chamber and listen to speeches and debates, and then share a hot choc in the Parliament dining room!☕🫖🖼️

Cielo reflected: “Having the opportunity to represent one of the concerns and passions of our generation at such a significant platform was an impactful experience for us.”🚪🌏✨

For Jack, the experience challenged some of his preconceptions about politicians: “Nick was very friendly, engaging, and flexible” and the deep discussions reminded him “to keep an open mind and think critically to seek the truth.” He summed up Parliament as “a harsh place, very chaotic but also full of humanity.”😙🫨🫶🏼

Lots of lessons learnt last Weds — and plenty of encouragement for these passionate young environmental stewards to bring about change!👏🏽🌱

Thank you for generously giving your time and genuinely listening to our Kew and the MLC students, and wonderful to see you and have your support, Jess . 💚🙏🏽💚

Growing Food & Good Values🥬💚

Today a few kind students harvested silverbeet, rainbow chard and kale from a garden bed planted during our Winter Gardening Bee, and just look at how beautifully it has grown since June!🌧️☀️🪱🌱

What made this lunchtime activity even more meaningful was that Marlow, Samir and Toby didn’t harvest the produce for themselves — they gave it to KHS staff!🥹🤓🙌🏽

It’s another example of our students putting the values of Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share into action, and modelling what it means to be part of a caring, regenerative community.🌱🙏🏼

We love seeing our gardens grow, but not as much as our students values on show.🫱🏽‍🫲🏼🌿💚😊

FOOTY, FOOD & FUN🏉 🎉⚽️

Yesterday our Year 7s relished a fun-filled Footy Day and celebratory BBQ- cementing another lovely memory of their first year of high school.😊🍗⚾️

Students were encouraged to come dressed in their favourite sporting team’s colours and participate in games coordinated by VET Sport & Rec students.👏🏽👕⚽

There was plenty of friendly competition, prizes won, a sausage sizzle managed by VCE VM students and sweet treats to enjoy!🌭🍭🪎

Shoutout to Ms Carter and her awesome VCE VM class, along with Mr Norton’s VET Sport & Recreation students, for facilitating the games and keeping everyone well-fed!😋🎯

What an awesome day of connectivity, physical activity, identity, skill-building and fun for all involved!🙌🏼👟😀

A Symphony of Stories📚📖

Our Year 12 VCE VM student Tobie Hutchesson brought this year’s Book Week theme, Symphony of Stories, to life with an engaging display in our Library!✨📗

Tobie initiated this Community Project because of his love of reading and books, with the goal of encouraging others to share what they love about books and inspiring more people to pick one up! How important is this given the screen-dominant times that we live in.💭📙💡

With a helping hand from some of his classmates, Tobie put everything together and created a colourful celebration of the joy, imagination and connection that books can bring.🤝📚

A wonderful example of a VCE VM project driven by passion, creativity and a love of ongoing learning - bravo Tobie!👏🌟📖

Performing Madness, Mayhem & a Little Opera!🎤🥸👑

Year 11 Theatre Studies proudly presents Louis Nowra’s classic Australian play, Cosi! 🇦🇺🤥⛑

After two terms of planning, rehearsing and bringing these characters to life, our talented students are ready to welcome a live audience!😄🎬🍒

Set against the backdrop of 1970s Australia, university student Lewis takes on the job of directing a play with a group of inmates at a Melbourne mental hospital, expecting it to be an easy gig.🫣 That is, until the inmates decide they want to perform an opera… in Italian! 🇮🇹🎶

The problem? They can’t sing, act or pronounce Italian without a broad Australian accent — and things are about to get chaotic!😂😜

Cosi is funny, thought-provoking and surprisingly moving, challenging our ideas about madness, love and friendship — and asking whether the people outside the hospital might be the truly “deranged” ones.🤔❤️

Come along to laugh, be challenged and perhaps even shed a tear — this show has it all!😂😭

Recommended for ages 14+ due to swearing and adult themes, including sexual references.⚠️
