Entrepreneurship Program Information Session at KIOSC
Students recently attended an engaging Entrepreneurship Program (Year 9/10) information session at KIOSC. The session focused on developing innovative thinking, creativity, leadership, and problem-solving skills through real-world business and enterprise concepts.
Students explored how entrepreneurial thinking can be applied across different industries and careers, while also learning the importance of collaboration, communication, and adaptability in today’s rapidly changing world. The session encouraged students to think creatively, identify opportunities, and develop confidence in sharing their ideas.
Sustainability Focus
A key focus of the session was sustainability and how entrepreneurial ideas can contribute to creating a more sustainable future. Students discussed how businesses and innovators are increasingly developing environmentally responsible solutions to address global challenges such as waste reduction, renewable energy, and sustainable production practices.
The program encouraged students to consider the social, environmental, and economic impact of their ideas and highlighted the importance of responsible innovation in shaping future communities and industries.
Hands on learning in Things That Kill
Year 9/10 students in the elective science subject Things That Kill recently completed a cane toad dissection to investigate key body systems. This hands-on activity allowed students to identify and explore structures related to the circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems, while making connections to how similar systems function in the human body. Students demonstrated curiosity, careful observation and developing scientific skills throughout the practical investigation.
Year 8 Humanities – Medieval History
In Year 8 Humanities, students are currently exploring the Medieval period, with a focus on the design and purpose of castles built during this time. Through their studies, students have been learning about the different defensive and practical features commonly found in medieval castles.
As part of this learning, students were challenged to design their own castle by incorporating a range of historical features. They then labelled their designs to explain the purpose of each feature and demonstrate their understanding of medieval castle architecture.
After completing their plans on paper, students used Minecraft Education to bring their castle designs to life in a creative and interactive way. Students did an outstanding job applying their historical knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and creativity to construct impressive medieval castles within the game.
Year 12 Food Studies Excursion – Lygon Street
Our Year 12 Food Studies class recently braved the 12-degree weather for an exciting excursion to Melbourne’s iconic Lygon Street.
The day began at Brunetti, where students were treated to an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of both the front and back of house operations. A special thank you to Barbara, our incredibly knowledgeable tour guide, who shared valuable insights into hospitality, food production and customer service. Students also enjoyed sampling a selection of delicious small cakes and coffee.
The group then headed to Ti Amo for a classic pizza and pasta lunch, rounding out a fantastic day exploring two of Melbourne’s Italian icons and experiencing food culture beyond the classroom.
It was a wonderful opportunity for students to connect their classroom learning with real-world hospitality experiences.
