The Great Teacher Bake Off

In Term 3 the SRC ran its first Teacher Bake Off and it was a huge success! Ten teachers generously took the time to bake delicious goods, from chocolate chip cookies to marshmallow delights. Students then had a chance to taste, and then judge, six yummy, sweet treats. House points were won and over $270.00 was raised to purchase a new House trophy for the school. While the standard of baked goods was incredibly high, there could only be two winners: Miss Byrnes who came in second and Miss Baker-Goldsmith who won, both with their individual takes on the traditional caramel slice. A big thank you to everyone involved.

Victorian Teachers Games

Congratulations to all the staff who represented Glen Eira College at the Victorian Teachers’ Games over the September holidays. Well done to Sue Rio and Ounsane Siriamphone at the Cross Country, the track around Fed University turned out to be quite mountainous and the beautiful Ballarat weather was definitely on show. It was a balmy 8 degrees at the finish line, having risen from a fresh 5 at the start of the day. There was surprisingly a larger field than expected but Sue still came away with the bronze (and Osi finishing not far from podium contention too).
