Year 12 Students Visit Bacchus Marsh CFA

Year 12 VCE VM students ventured out on an exciting excursion to the Country Fire Authority (CFA) station in Bacchus Marsh last month. 

The day was made even more special by the presence of fellow student Ewan, who is a dedicated volunteer at the CFA. 

Ewan and other volunteers led the students through an informative tour, sharing their firsthand experiences and insights about the vital work done by the team.

Students had the unique opportunity to explore the various equipment used by the firefighters, gaining a deeper understanding of the tools and technology that assist in safeguarding the community. 

The highlight of the excursion was undoubtedly the chance to climb aboard the fire trucks. Many students took turns sitting in the driver’s seat and could even walk around the back of the truck. To top off a fantastic day, the students played a fun game that involved rolling out the heavy hoses volunteers use while fighting fires. Students cheered one another on and congratulated each other on their efforts.

A heartfelt thank you to Ewan for being an exceptional guide. We left the CFA with newfound knowledge and an appreciation for volunteerism, as well as the heroic work of our firefighters. 

Overall, it was a memorable day that will stay with our Year 12 VCE VM Class for years to come!
