PDSSSC Season 2 MVP player award recipients

Year 7 Interest Sport 

Art Club

This term in Art Sport, the Year 7 girls have been developing their skills in watercolour painting. The theme for their images is flowers, specifically, the flowers that represent their birth month. They could choose either native Australian birth month flowers or general birth month flowers. Following a series of research sketches, the girls designed a final composition for their artworks and used watercolour paints to add colour to their works.

Olympic Changemaker forum - 2025

The Australian Olympic Change-Maker program recognises secondary students from around the country who demonstrate the Olympic spirit – friendship, sportsmanship and striving for excellence - both on and off the playing field, through leadership and driving positive change in their school and local communities.

The Change-Maker program provides students with the opportunity to share their ideas, connect with other like-minded people and be immersed in a unique Olympic experience, hearing first-hand from Olympians. Our 2025 Caroline Chisholm Olympic Changemaker recipients are Nekea Talaia and Hannah Ison of Year 12.

On Wednesday 17 September, I was privileged enough to take our two 2025 Olympic Changemaker award recipients to the 2025 National Forum at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. It was an absolute ,pleasure to accompany these remarkable young ladies who are very deserving of this prestigious award. The day was an opportunity for the girls to collaborate and connect with young leaders and Olympians from right across Australia. 

The event was showcased by an amazing line up of Olympians: 

Chloe Dalton  | Rugby Sevens

Michael Klim | Swimming

Noemie Fox | Canoe Slalom

Valentino Guseli | Snowboard

Maurice Longbottom | Rugby Sevens

It was a great day that has left a lasting impression with all of us. Thank you to both Nekea and Hannah for your outstanding attitudes and efforts in all that you do, both on and off the playing field. A big thank you to Mrs Cairns and Caroline Chisholm College for allowing me the opportunity to attend with these two outstanding students.
