This year, students in Years 7–10 at the college are engaging in a newly introduced subject, Health and Wellbeing. The implementation of this subject follows updates to the Victorian Curriculum, which highlighted significant overlaps between Health and Pastoral Care. In response, staff members have collaborated to design a comprehensive program that integrates both areas, ensuring students develop essential health knowledge alongside personal and social capabilities.

In Year 10, students have been exploring the internal and external obstacles that can impact goal achievement. Through discussions, real-life scenarios, and problem-solving activities, they have analysed how various challenges influence their ability to reach their goals. Working both individually and in groups, students identified practical strategies to overcome these obstacles.

To reinforce their learning, students participated in a hands-on challenge where they worked in teams of 3–4 to construct the tallest possible pasta tower using only marshmallows, spaghetti, and tape. With a strict 10-minute time limit, they were required to think creatively, collaborate effectively, and adapt to unforeseen challenges. This activity encouraged the development of problem-solving skills, resilience, and teamwork, equipping students with strategies to navigate real-world challenges.
