Drama Club Update
We're excited to let you know about our Drama students' immersive theatre project: History's Mysteries!
What is Immersive Theatre?
Immersive theatre breaks the traditional boundaries of stage and audience. You'll be able to move freely around the performance space, choosing your own viewpoint and getting up close to the action. It's a unique and engaging way to experience theatre!
The Story:
Our students will delve into the fascinating world of museums and cultural artifacts, exploring questions of ownership, repatriation, and the mysteries behind historical objects. Can you crack the mystery and find out what was stolen, who stole it, and who it belongs to?

Staff Achievement - Pathways to Leadership Course
Pathways to Leadership Program
In 2023, the College introduced a leadership program for interested staff. It was designed to meet the needs of current Middle Leaders (PORs) and Aspirant Leaders; both teachers and Education Support staff.
Module 1 : People, Purpose and Meaning
This module explores the impact of great leaders, identifying and developing leadership strengths, developing others and exploring the elements of high performing teams. The group also learns how to ‘put yourself out there’ and craft stories to authentically build collaborative relationships and prepare for future job applications. Participants also design, plan and implement a mini-project during the six weeks in between the two modules. The projects are intended to utilise leadership skills to address problems of practice.
Module 2 : The Complex Layers of Leadership (The Onion)
The second module explores the following elements of leadership:
Adaptive styles and Emotional Intelligence
Confusion to solution
Qualities and character strengths
Looking after YOU - Health and Wellbeing
As a celebration in Module 2, participants also present their mini-project plan and share outcomes with colleagues and the Principal Team. Congratulations to our 2024 graduates listed below:
| Staff member | Mini project focus |
| Tash Stokes | Enhanced induction program for Inclusion staff |
| Aaron Gillespie | Collaborative professional learning workshop with VIT graduates |
| Verity Nixen | Scaffolding thinking and unlocking ideas in English classrooms |
| Josh Metherell | Weekly recap for parents |
| Pippa Campbell | Teacher input into how to improve student outcomes in Year 12 |
We thank those staff who have participated in the program since 2023 and look forward to the outcomes from the Pathways to Leadership program in 2025.
