Despite challenging conditions, the students worked extremely hard on their cross country skiing visit to Mt Stirling Alpine Park.

Well done to the students in our Middle School Outdoor Ed group for their efforts on Monday August 12. In the morning we ventured around the fallen trees on the way up the 1,000 steps and then carried on to the high ropes at Tree Tops Adventure.

Last week was the week of the world-famous LHC Music Camp, held up at Oasis Camp in Mt Evelyn. It was a packed few days of music, rehearsals, quality food and all-round fun.

Students who are studying Japanese this year went to Eastland in the last week of Term 2 to discover where Japanese language and culture is evident in the community. Much to their delight, Japanese was everywhere!

Well done to all year 7 and 8 Humanities students on their work and conduct during Museum Day. The standard of work was very high.

Well done to all of our students working towards their first adventurous exploration around Phillip Island this weekend.

The Silver Duke of Ed group travelled way to Mt Disappointment State park over this wet weekend. It was a massive learning experience for the Silver Duke of Ed group.

Considerable fun was had tonight with our master chefs being put under the pressure to cook a two course meal on the trangias. Groups were assessed on their cooking; the taste of their meals and their organisation of cleaning up as well as their levels of rubbish they created.

Many students enjoyed the part of walking in the outdoor environment, taking notice of twin rainbows etc.

Many of the students ventured into an Alpine environment for the first time, even though it is autumn, they realised we need to be prepared for every type of weather condition no matter what the season.

The Peer Support students visited some of our local Primary Schools this week and did a great job running activities and practising their leadership skills. The Aged Care home visit was also a highlight, with students hearing some amazing stories from some members of our community.

Congratulations to the SIRC students who organised an awesome celebration for Harmony Day.

Thank you to all families who provided food for the lunch and to all students who dressed up. It was a wonderful atmosphere that celebrated the diverse community that we live in.
