Astronomy Night
from Issue 2 2023
In 2022, gathering large groups together was still challenging due to the pandemic and continued to disrupt many events. One such event was the Year 5 Astronomy Night. Organised by Ms Tanti, the night was to have provided an opportunity for that cohort to hear about this exciting area of learning from teachers and Old Collegians and to use the College’s 8-inch Celestron telescope to look closely at these objects.
Fast forward to the end of Term 1, 2023, and Ms Tanti kept her promise to that cohort. They gathered on the grounds of the Woodend Campus on a clear, moonlight night to hear from Old Collegians Sam White (OC’ 2014), Lachie Ellis (OC’2019) and Robert Anthoney (OC’2019), who, along with Mr Daniel Horvat, our Instructional Leader - Science and VCE Physics Teacher, provided astronomical insights and facilitated the use of the telescope.
The evening concluded with the students brimming, with their new knowledge, passing on those facts and figures to their parents, who also then used the telescope.
We thank our Old Collegians, teachers and Ms Tanti for supporting and arranging the evening.
