Mt Atkinson Project Update

Over the past week, two Year 11 VCE-VM groups attended Mt Atkinson to continue to work on the mountain bike boardwalk.

On Friday September 8, the four students who attended added two extra spans of board walk, installed posts for a tabletop connection and trimmed existing timber to make the boardwalk safe.

On Monday, September 11, four other students and Ms Deprost made their way to Mt Atkinson.

These young men installed an extra span of boardwalk, built on their knowledge and use of tools, and installed the table top span. In each of these instances, the staff at Mt Atkinson have commented on how well our young men have behaved, their attention to detail and the initiative they display. The students and the VM team are keen to keep our College community updated on the progress of our project.

Together with Mt Aktinson Edmund Rice Team and the Vocational Major Learning Area, if you or someone you know is able to donate timber offcuts to assist with the project and ensure it is sustainable, please be in touch with Rebecca Cassar at the college to arrange pick up of items.

The Applied Learning team would also appreciate if any families are able to assist VCE-VM students in their future Structured Workplace Learning by providing their business details to build up a community directory. Your assistance in this would be greatly appreciated.
