VCAL

Students in our VCAL program have had a busy start to Term 3. Personal Development Skills focuses heavily on addressing issues in the community and designing innovative solutions. Classes are in the midst of organising a film festival focused on social issues in the community. All VCAL students (Years 11 and 12) have filmed a short video on a chosen social issue. The issues aim to change community perception and inspire change. Students have needed to adapt to the ever changing environment and find new and innovative ways in which they can deliver these films remotely to the wider Mooroolbark College community. Keep your eyes out for these on the College’s Social Media pages in the coming weeks. Students have also been busy learning about social connectedness. They identified that people in the school are feeling mixed emotions during times of uncertainty and are designing and implementing activities to increase morale, build positive relationships and boost student’s sense of belonging. Students are hoping to deliver these activities during morning Homegroup soon.  

Work Related Skills classes have been continuing to work on their Rube Goldberg experiments with great success. Students have demonstrated exemplary teamwork and leadership skills to create their inventions. It has been very pleasing to see students get back into some great hands on activities.
