Amazing advocacy work by our YR12 VCE-VM students. They have worked alongside our School Council President, Lisa Ohlmus, to raise awareness and seek investment in Kyneton High School's grounds.
Seb, Aiden and Tom had conversations with all three Macedon Ranges candidates about the needs of KHS students and how investments into our grounds would benefit the school and wider community! Fantastic work lads!

Kyneton High School Council is calling on candidates for Macedon at the November state election to commit to upgrading the school’s soccer pitch and improving security for students and staff.

Alpine Camp 2026 7th - 11th September

From the 7th –10th of September, our Alpine Camp students headed off for a three-night alpine camp that proved to be an unforgettable experience, even after our snow sports were cancelled just days before departure. While our original plans had to change at the last minute, the group embraced the alternative activities with enthusiasm, making the most of every opportunity and proving that a great camp is about much more than just snow sports when it comes to the alpine region.
Our first day began with an adventure walking up to the summit of Mt Buller, where students enjoyed the spectacular scenery. A few adventurous students even chose to stay behind with Mr Romer to watch the sunset, braving the freezing temperatures for a truly memorable view!
Day two brought a fantastic mix of outdoor adventure and high-energy fun. Half the group joined Mr Romer and Justin for a hike to discover a beautiful waterfall, while the other half stayed behind with Ms Swinden and Mr Eddy to perfect their snowball-throwing skills and get creative building snow slides. After lunch, everyone headed to the indoor trampoline centre, where students challenged themselves to walk the plank over the foam pit, conquer the highest rock-climbing wall and show off their coolest flips.
On Wednesday, we split into two groups for another action-packed day. Students took turns experiencing horse riding in the beautiful Man from Snowy River country and visiting Mansfield Zoo. At the zoo, students had the opportunity to pat dingoes, feed deer and camels, and get an up-close look at the lions enjoying their lunch! After a busy day of adventures, we wound down that evening with a trip to the Mt Buller cinema to watch Spider-Man, complete with complimentary popcorn or a drink.
Of course, no camp would be complete without the fun that happens after the day's activities. Each evening provided plenty of opportunities for students to relax, socialise and make memories, whether that meant competitive table tennis matches, intense Mario Kart battles or round after round of the ever-popular card game Spoons. Everyone was welcome to join in, and there was certainly no shortage of laughter!
On our final day, we enjoyed a scenic bike ride along the rail trail, taking in the panoramic views around the base of the mountain before making our way home.
Although the cancellation of snow sports presented an unexpected challenge, the camp turned into an incredible opportunity for students to try new things, step outside their comfort zones, strengthen friendships and one that our students will hopefully remember for years to come!
A huge thank you to Mr Eddy for his planning, organisation and flexibility in adapting the itinerary at such short notice to ensure the camp could still go ahead. We would also like to sincerely thank Mr Romer and Justin for giving up their own time to be part of this experience and help make it so special for our students.

Year 10 Croquet

As part of our Year 10 Physical Education Lifestyle Sports unit, students had the opportunity to visit the Kyneton Croquet Club and try their hand at a sport that requires plenty of skill, patience and strategy.
With the guidance of the wonderful local volunteers, students were introduced to the rules and basic techniques of croquet before putting their new skills to the test in some friendly competition. It didn't take long for the competitive spirit to kick in, with students quickly discovering that croquet involves much more than simply hitting a ball through a hoop!
Throughout the sessions, students demonstrated great enthusiasm, teamwork and some surprisingly impressive croquet skills. It was fantastic to see everyone getting involved, enjoying the challenge and experiencing a sport that many had never played before.
A big thank you to the volunteers at the Kyneton Croquet Club for generously giving their time, sharing their knowledge and providing such an enjoyable experience for our students. We greatly appreciate their ongoing support and look forward to continuing this fantastic partnership.

Year 10 Golf Day 13/10/26
Our annual Year 10 Golf Day was once again a fantastic opportunity for students to put their golfing skills to the test at the beautiful Trentham Golf Club.

As part of our Year 10 Physical Education Lifestyle Sports unit, students had spent several weeks developing their golfing skills in preparation for the day. With plenty of enthusiasm and some questionable golfing outfits inspired by the likes of Happy Gilmore, students arrived ready for a great day on the course.

The day began with some helpful guidance from local volunteers, who assisted students in refining their chipping and putting techniques before they headed out onto the course in small groups. There were plenty of impressive shots, a few balls that went missing and plenty of laughs along the way!

It was particularly pleasing to see the encouragement and sportsmanship displayed by students throughout the day. Regardless of their golfing ability, everyone got involved, supported their peers and made the most of the experience.
After working up an appetite on the course, students enjoyed a BBQ lunch before finishing the day with a putting competition and some light-hearted awards. As always, the awards provided plenty of entertainment, recognising everything from golfing ability to the best (and most questionable) outfits.

I would like to send a special thank you to Peter Bieshaar from the Woodend Men’s shed for developing our awards trophies for the event. Peter has gone over and above so we thank him muchly.

A highlight of the day was the positive attitude shown by our Year 10 students, with many willingly helping staff with equipment, the BBQ and packing up. Their behaviour and enthusiasm were also recognised by the Trentham Golf Club, who were extremely complimentary of the group and expressed their excitement about welcoming us back again.
A huge thank you to the Trentham Golf Club and their wonderful volunteers for their hospitality and support.

We look forward to returning next year for another fantastic day of golf!
