Appreciation from parents

Y12 Roy Zhu's parents would like me to pass their gratitude to  Mordialloc College for their support of  Roy's applications to universities in the United States of America. Roy is the only Australian high school student who took AP Physics C and World History in 2023 and 2024. There are only about 3000 year 11 students worldwide who got a top score of 5 at AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism in 2023.

Roy took the SAT test in Dec 2023 and got a score of 1520 (full score 1600),  which is top 2% worldwide. He will take two more SAT tests this November and December. Well done Roy. We wish him good luck for all his exams.

Thank you Mr Thompson, Ms Hargreaves, Miss Duggan, ISP team and in particular, to our College Assistant Principal Ms Bastin and Acting Principal Ms Stone.

Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival  is a harvest festival celebrated in Chinese culture.
