Subject Spotlight…..Food Studies….This week the Year 10 Food Studies class shone with the students in one of the classes running an Expo on Issues in Food. Research to develop their knowledge, planning and then running the Expo has taken a lot of effort on the student's behalf. Congratulations to all involved, the students and the staff, and parents who attended to support them. On a lighter note, Year 7 parents please ask for fried rice to be made for your dinner next week as the students excelled at this recipe this week. #foodstudies #expo #askforfriedrice

Merri student leaders visited Loved & Shared on Monday to learn about what ‘Loved and Shared’ does for our community, see what happens at the warehouse, and build a relationship with our new philanthropic charity. “Loved and Shared’ is a non-for-profit organisation that comes together as a community to gift and rehome high-quality donated nursery and children’s goods to families experiencing hardship. The Merri student leaders had a great day and can’t wait to raise money, and awareness for ‘Loved and Shared’ in the future. #lovedandshared #community #merri #worktogether #donate #families

Last week we welcomed peak-body VicSRC school-aged representatives Abby Wiverton and Hayley Allen into our College. Abby and Hayley work to empower all student voices to be valued in every aspect of education. The session was a very informative catch-up with our Student Leadership Group. Abby and Hayley were impressed with our incredible student voice and advocacy. #vicsrc #leadership #empower #studentvoice
