Description/Educative Purpose: Poetry is an artistic form of expression in German-speaking communities. By using a common text (a poem) for an authentic purpose (performing to an audience of judges at the AGTV Poetry Competition), students are provided with purposeful opportunities to develop and demonstrate communicative skills in German, which can also be part of formative or summative assessment at the school. Learning to read a poem aloud develops skills in pronunciation, intonation and understanding of the text. Learning to recite a poem by heart for an audience develops memory and performance skills. It requires students to consider how to interpret and deliver the poem in the context of a recitation for an audience. In addition, there are personal and social benefits to participating through the opportunity to develop a sense of achievement in remembering a poem and the confidence to perform for an audience. At the end of a public performance, people usually clap, a great boost to self-esteem. Working together as a team for a group performance will develop skills in collaboration. |
Description/Educative Purpose: A small group of VM students will go to Marlborough Primary School to help with their junior PMP (perceptual motor program) class throughout Term 2. Students will walk together from Heathmont College to Marlborough Primary. They will be accompanied by a Heathmont College staff member for the initial session where they will be introduced to the Marlborough Primary School teachers and students. They will attend future sessions unaccompanied. Students are expected to return to Heathmont College for their regular scheduled lesson by 10:15am. The purpose of this ongoing event is to provide students with an opportunity to volunteer and build relationships within our community. |

Students will complete a series of tasks as they walk through the local area. Starting at Heathmont College students will walk to HE Parker Reserve completing a series of tasks around the Dandenong Creek Trail and then onto Heathmont Station, also completing a series of tasks en route. This will support students in their understanding of the skills required on these excursions for future trips into the city. These skills include things like teamwork, cooperative decision making, use of Google maps, safety in public areas and many others. Also, students will learn about their local environment, both man made and natural, and investigate the culture of the area. |
Students are allowed to use their mobile phones on this excursion for navigation purposes, to take photos for the scavenger hunt and to make contact with staff via the school mobile phone as required. Students will spend time in small groups during this excursion and will have some structured independence from staff. Staff will walk the route as well and will be contactable throughout the excursion. Students will meet staff at regular check points along the route. Students will have the opportunity to purchase food/drink (with their own money) during this excursion. Students will be dismissed from Heathmont Station between 2:45pm and 3:00pm. |
The Heathmont College Trivia Night Fundraiser is an initiative to fundraising money for the Performing Arts Department. These funds will assist us to buy and install new air conditioners for the theatre and upgrade our technologies to purchase headset microphones. Students will assist in the organisation, set up and running of the event. There will also be fundraising games held on the night and a raffle or silent auction. This event is for students that wish to participate in the organisation of this event and the band. |
Tickets will be available on Trybooking for individuals, groups or tables – 10-12 guests per table. Depending on interest the event will be held in the Performing Arts Centre. |
During this session students will be guided through creating their VTAC account. They will also be shown how to apply for tertiary courses, Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) and scholarships that are available. To register with VTAC students will need a Unique Student Identifier (USI). |
This year, every Monday lunch time in the wellbeing lounge will be Mindfulness Mondays. This is a chance for students to unwind quietly with colouring, drawing and puzzles. The last ten minutes will include a mindfulness meditation to help reset before class.
