Year 12 RE Project

Over the last four weeks of Term 3 Year 12 RE lessons have focused on RE in action. Students had the option to select one of four ‘Care projects’. Students in each project spent time learning about their care project and performing tasks to help others.

• Caring for the vulnerable

• Caring for the environment

• Cook for Camp Campaspe

• Caring for the Homeless

Year 12 students in the 'Cook for Camp Campaspe' project used their time planning, cooking meals, and baking for those attending Camp Campaspe these holidays.

Camp Campaspe is a 3 day experience for children from disadvantaged families or circumstances in the Macedon Ranges. They spend the three days during the Term 3 school holidays doing fun activities and learning life skills, with the help of volunteers from our school.

The group made lunches for the children, which included 230 sausage rolls, 25 spinach and ricotta rolls, 6 large pots of bolognese sauce, garlic butter, and over 200 chocolate chip cookies. Over 130 cookies were sold to raise money for the camp, and approximately 60 cookies will be included in their lunch.

The sale of the cookies raised over $130 for the camp, which will contribute to buying resources for the various activities for the children. The Cook for Campaspe group had a lot of fun in the kitchen, earning new skills and fostering a sense of community.

Year 10 Work Experience

The Year 10 work experience program was a valuable opportunity for students to explore potential career paths and gain practical skills. Students selected a variety of workplaces, where they were able to apply their classroom knowledge and learn from experienced professionals. Overall, the program was a success, and many students expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to gain real-world experience. A huge thanks to the Careers Team (Kristina and Lucy), as well as Carmen Stehle and Tori Young for the support they provide our Year 10 students.

Year 12: The Final Push

As Year 12 embarks on the final stretch of their high school journey, they should remember to stay focused and determined. The VCE exams are just around the corner, and it's important to use their time wisely. Review notes, practice past papers, and seek help from teachers if needed. They should believe in themselves and their abilities. They have come a long way since they joined SHC in 2019, and with a little more effort, they should achieve their goals. For students who are not sitting exams, I wish you all the best in your future endeavors as you transition into your next pathway.
