The Vermont Secondary College Production community are quite excited to announce that some of our students have been recognised for their performances in this year’s Lyrebird Youth Award Nominations. The Lyrebird Youth Awards celebrate excellence in youth productions (plays and musicals) across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
Our school production has been nominated for 4 awards. The nominees are:
The production team would like to congratulate all nominated students on their incredible performances and extend our commendation to all students involved in the show, as a production does not allow any single performer to excel without the hard work and dedication of the whole cast/crew/band.
EMR Track & Field event was held on Monday the 10th of October at Knox Athletics Track. It was an absolutely beautiful day for athletics with the sun shining and the wind at a minimum. Vermont had a strong team of 58 athletes who competed in several events across the day.
Team Vermont performed incredibly well across the entirety of the event and as a result won the EMR Track & Field Pennant with a total score of 461 points. This total was a sum of the 1st placed female team score of 285 points and 3rd place male team score of 176 points.
To win an EMR Track & Field Championship as a school is an outstanding achievement and a testament to the hard work and commitment from the students involving themselves in training sessions and participating in extra events such as All Schools. Congratulations to all, and a special thank you to David Clements for his time and effort with the relay teams.
The College is looking forward to the commencement of the construction process of our new gym in 2022. The design process has been completed and the project is currently being tendered.
The new building will include two competition size basketball courts, two classrooms, a weight room a staffroom, change rooms and retractable seating for large assemblies. The new gym will be located between the outside basketball courts and the existing gym and theatre.
The first steps will include the construction of a temporary access road and the removal of all buildings currently located on the construction site. We anticipate classes using the new gym at the beginning of 2023.
For Term 3 & 4 2021, Frau Ankenbrand’s class has been working on creating new and innovative products as a part of the Unternehmen Deutsch Goethe Institute competition. More than 300 students from 18 schools participated in the popular Australia-wide ideas competition Enterprise German. Three groups from Vermont Secondary College entered the competition and collaborated with their chosen German company in Australia.
There were three stages of the competition,
Throughout these stages, students had the opportunity to develop their writing, reading and speaking skills in German, as well as getting insight on how businesses create and advertise successful products.
Of the 97 innovative ideas, the product designed by Year 10 students, Edric C, Summer S, Abbey S, and Jack W made it to the top 2 inventions. It was then up to public vote to decide who won the competition.
A big thank you to all involved, especially to the students of Vermont Secondary College who cast their vote online for the ‘BOSCH – Spülmaschine der Zukunft’. We would like to thank Fiona Thornton from BOSCH who helped the winning group develop their product, and the Goethe Institute for running the competition and sponsoring the prizes.
Dankeschön!
