Kyneton High School

Pre-Orientation Day was on Wednesday 25th of March.  Over 400 students from Primary Schools in Woodend, Kyneton, Romsey, Elphinstone, Malmsbury, Taradale (and more!) came for a day of activities and learning, and to get to know how to find their way around the BIG HIGH SCHOOL.  Some fabulous KHS students volunteered to help with lessons and activities such as cooking, drama, humanities, sport, maths, computer coding & English, while the Senior Students led ballgames on the courts and over at the sports stadium.

See below for some feedback on their day from the juniors.

Thanks to Ms Nguyen for the image.

Sarah Sell in Year 12 won the Elementary Class and placed in her other classes at the Geelong Grammar Interschool Dressage day in late February. Hannah Gajic, in year 11 also competed at the same event and scored well in several large classes.

Well done to the girls, their supportive parents and their trusty steeds!

Cheers

Our enthusiastic Yr 11 Classical Studies students embarked upon their annual archaeological dig recently. The students were well prepared for the dig identifying and surveying their dig site before laying out a grid prior to careful excavation of the layers of soil to reveal what lie beneath. However their  careful scientific approach gave way for the frenzied treasure hunter within once each of these budding young archaeologists got a glimmer of the potential treasures that could be uncovered!

In Humanities class 8A have been learning about Medieval history by building castles using Minecraft Education. We set up a class world, with all students able to join an infinite world with only one operator.

Students could use their imagination and historical knowledge to build castles, villages and farms, knights, and weapons. It was enjoyable for all!

Monday 12th of April – Friday 16th April – second week of school holidays.

This is a great way to have a tour of the University in small groups. You need to register online – follow the link below which has more information.
