Supportive community reaps the benefits

MURRABIT senior school students were very excited to be able to share their learning and presentations with the wider community once again.

On Monday, May 9, the students opened their genius hour inquiry exhibition which was a culmination of term one inquiry learning.

Their projects ranged vastly and captured a lot of interest and intrigue.

These included, How to Make a Fishing Rod and Fresh Water Fishing Tips, The Victorian Railway Service, Lely Automated Milking Machines, How Camels Communicate, The Best Australian Bowler, Trees, The Importance of Water and many more.

Students put in many weeks of research, multimodal presentation, and refinement of learning to create amazing work. They also learnt to communicate at many levels when sharing their projects.

This is just one of the wonderful learning opportunities at Murrabit Group School to complement sports, music, arts, library, integrated literacy, and numeracy.

Students learn through explicit lessons but also through hands on creativity.

All this happens in a supportive community and schooling that is flexible, warm, happy and positive.
