Lakewood Reserve

The Vcal students went on an excursion yesterday to the Lakewood Reserve in Knoxfield. A previous Vcal class visited the site in 2006 and planted a variety of native plants to improve the area.

One highlight that the students found interesting was when they were looking through the microscope at the samples and seeing how many different species of creature were within the water.
Another highlight the students enjoyed the ponchos that were taken as a precaution for the lovely Melbourne weather.

Below are some of the before photos 

Below are the photos taken from yesterday's excursion

The students enjoyed the experience of walking and getting to know the area as well as researching and seeing the improvements in over 10 years. There were plenty of wildlife present but we missed the opportunity of taking photos because they were too quick!!

I am studying to be a pastry chef. I am completing a Certificate 2 in Kitchen Operations and Certificate 2 in Hospitality. I want to be a Pastry Chef because I like to bake. 




When I'm free I really bake and create new foods and experiment with my imagination. My favourite food is sushi, I love a California roll. My hobbies include watching MasterChef and My Kitchen Rules. I love researching new recipes to bake and to let my imagination run free. 

My favourite movie is Chef and I have no favourite music. I love all music. I cannot live without my phone or food. What I love most about school is being with my friends and creating new memories everyday.
