Around the College

A huge congratulations to the St Anne's College students who took out awards at last week's inaugural Sandhurst Awards which celebrated educators and students who light the way across Sandhurst's 51 schools and six early learning centres.

We are incredibly proud of their achievements and their recognition as people who lead, support and service with faith, compassion and excellence.

On Wednesday our students embraced all things sustainability, led by our Year 6 Ecological Stewardship Leadership Team all while wearing a touch of green to show their support for caring for our planet.

Throughout the day students participated in a nature scavenger hunt, exploring the outdoors and discovering the beauty in the world around them, and also rolled up their sleeves for a rubbish pick-up session, helping to keep our school grounds clean and learning the impact of small actions.

In the classroom, they transformed their discoveries into beautiful watercolour artworks, capturing the colours, textures and tiny wonders of nature.

The whole school participated in Earth Hour, switching off lights across all learning spaces as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to protect the environment.

A meaningful day filled with learning, creativity, action and green spirit. Well done team!

The Year 5/6 students and the Year 7/8 took part in a Digital Thumbprint sessions yesterday, hosted by Optus.

The Year 5/6 students took part in a Cybersecurity Workshop which focused on various areas of cyber security such as ways the students can protect themselves online, how to create a secure password, two-factor authentication, privacy settings on social media, and staying safe while playing online games. Students also explored the power and risks of what they share online.

While the Year 7/8 students participated in the Cyberbullying & Online Respect Workshop which focused on respectful online relationships, consent online, image-based abuse, and the influence of AI. Students engaged with scenarios to understand their impact and the tools available to support themselves and their peers.

Last week 11 students attended the FIRE Carrier excursion at Kaiela Arts Shepparton. Steph and Melinda from Kaiela Arts welcomed the students and Melinda guided the students on how to weave bracelets.

Many of the students had never done this before and thoroughly enjoyed learning the new skill - so much so that they wanted to stay there and keep weaving!  

We are incredibly proud of our students Japnaz (absent), Nora, Mehtaab, Praguun, Japji, Mia, Heli, Lucy, Abbas, Diya and Ekam who participated in this year’s ICAS assessments. Your curiosity, hard work, and commitment to learning have truly shone through. 

Whether you earned a certificate, reached a personal best, or challenged yourself in a new subject area, your efforts are worth celebrating!

Well done to all our ICAS superstars for representing our college with excellence. Keep striving, keep exploring, and keep believing in what you can achieve. 

Our soon-to-be Foundation students had a wonderful time at this week's transition session!

From exploring their new learning spaces to meeting teachers and making new friends, the morning was filled with curiosity, confidence and plenty of smiles. Students took part in engaging activities that helped them feel comfortable, excited and ready for their big start to school next year.

We can’t wait to welcome this amazing group of learners into our Foundation community in 2026!
