Year 11 VCE VM Work Related Skills / Potato Shed Native Animal Welfare Habitat’s

During Term 1, Year 11 VCE VM students have been working on designing and making native animal nesting boxes. These include habitat for native Australian birds in the Bellarine area such as Crimson Rosella, Parrots and the Tawny Frogmouth. Did you know that Australia is home to 830 species of birds, nearly one-tenth of the world's bird species?

Upon completion, these boxes will be donated to the The Potato Shed Theatre and will be erected in the Potato Shed Wetlands areas to encourage and promote bird number growth.

This complex initiative focuses on students developing and consolidating their Employability Skills such as Teamwork, Communication, Problem Solving, Self - Management, Creativity and Leadership. Students are to be congratulated for their enthusiasm and engagement during this hands-on project and for identifying a community focused initiative.

The VCE VM team want to thank the SICG technologies department for their support with access to the workshop, tools and equipment.
