Presentation Evening and the Valedictory Dinner

Awards, incentives and recognition are an important part of the education process, to continue to encourage our students to always strive to be their best.

This year our Year 12 students will be farewelled and receive recognition for their outstanding achievements at their Valedictory Dinner on Tuesday 23 October. The students in Years 7 to 11 will receive their awards for outstanding achievement at Presentation Evening on Tuesday 27 November. Both events are viewed as a prestigious and memorable occasions.

The awards recognise and celebrate academic excellence, acknowledgement of personal endeavour, citizenship and leadership and contribution to the co-curricular music, drama and sporting programs.

The awards are sponsored by the Parents and Friends’ Association, the Past Students’ Association, School Council, some private endowments and companies who do regular business with the college. Teachers are in the process of nominating students for these awards. The successful recipients will be notified in term 4.

Uniform options

In September and October, students have the option to wear either summer or winter uniform to suit Melbourne's changeable weather. This must be the full summer or winter uniform. Elements of each uniform cannot be mixed. From 1 November summer uniform only can be worn. 

Second-hand Uniform Shop

At the end of this year Donna Harrison and Diane Weston, two of the volunteers in our Second-hand Uniform Shop, will be stepping down. Geri Sumpter has kindly offered to take over the morning shift in 2019, when it will move to Friday from 8.15 to 9.15am.

If anyone is able to assist Geri in the shop next year, please contact her on 0423 103 331.

Student Safety

Recently one of our students was approached by a man behaving in a strange and inappropriate manner. She has asked me to remind all students to be aware of their surroundings and not to approach anyone they are unsure of.

Upcoming Reunions

The Past Students' Association will be holding reunions for the Class of 2003 (15 years) and Class of 1998 (20 years) on Thursday 25 October.  A contribution of $10 goes towards light food and drinks.
