Hands on Learning

By Rohan Butler & Michael Jackson

This year’s Hands on Learning Program has started now and we are off to a great start. We have a team of ten dedicated students that will learn different skills in a program the promotes “learning by doing” a creative and interactive methods to create a better learning outcome for all. Our first project is tackling the school garden, located at the font of the school on the corner of Ryrie and Garden Streets at the traffic lights. The garden has been cleaned up, mulched and we are currently working on a plan for planting it out. The next job that has started and now underway is the Hands on Learning Precinct down behind the gym where we will be working and delivering from, were the students have been sanding the shipping container and painting it to freshen it up. Still a lot to do on our container as we move forward, so stay tuned and feel free to pop around and have a look at how things are progressing. We also have a couple of excursions planned for later in the term with the Bellarine catchment Networks where the students will get out, interact and give back to the community.

The team has put in a great effort thus far with their attitudes, behaviours and work ethic, great to see keep up the great work team as it is greatly appreciated by all.

Regards

Your GHS Hands On Team

Rohan Butler & Michael Jackson
