Defence School Mentor Program

Our Australian Defence Force (ADF) students wrapped up the year with a well-loved Pizza Lunch and Farewell. This annual tradition brings together ADF students and their friends to share food, connection and understanding of the unique experiences that come with military family life.

At this special gathering, we farewelled several students whose families are being posted to new locations including Canberra, Townsville and Brisbane.

We wish the very best to: Aiden Johansen (Year 7),Luke Lewis (Year 7), Saanvi Verma (Year 8), Rhys Morgan (Year 9), Arnav Vikas (Year 9), Eia Marcial (Year 10), Jack (Year 11), and our graduating Year 12 students Luba Davis, Eddie De-Vall and Rohan Murray.

It has been a pleasure supporting each of you throughout your time at Viewbank College.

We wish you smooth transitions, new friendships and exciting opportunities at your next schools and beyond.

To all our Defence families, wishing you a safe and enjoyable holiday break.

I look forward to supporting our ADF students in 2026.

Regards,

Raelene McKenzie
