If they're not learning, they're not growing and not moving toward excellence." - Denis Waitley

We were delighted to recognise and celebrate students who exhibited excellence in their academic results and approach to learning. Our students who achieved in the top 5% for Semester 1 were invited, along with their parents to a High Achievers' Breakfast in the MCC Pavilion last week. We will also be acknowledging and celebrating students who have shown the greatest growth in learning approach across most learning areas in Semester 1. The Rising Star and Shine awards will be presented at assembly on the first day of Term 4. We will have our special guest Zoe Daniel presenting the awards.

International Delegation
We were thrilled to host an International Delegation from the Jeollabukdo Office of Education in South Korea last week. We gave our guests a glimpse into our educational journey sharing our insights and experiences. A special thanks to our student ambassadors Nathan P and Oskar E who were able to share their school experience. Here is the email they sent to thank us:
Thank you for welcoming us, conducting the meeting, and introducing us to advanced schools.

We learned about the vision and direction of digital education in Victoria and were particularly impressed by the leadership of edtech in real schools (we were impressed by the students' participation and activeness in class)

It is believed that this meeting will be of great help in introducing the digital-based education method pursued by Jeollabuk-do department of education.

We were please to influence beyond Australia with out innovative teaching and learning.

Our partnership with parents is so important!
A huge thank you to our supportive and committed Parents’ Association who are continuing to play an active role in so many events at the college. Please stay connected with the college through your children but also with each other.
