Celebrates Student Achievement
On 16 October 2026, we held our final assembly for the year, a special occasion dedicated to celebrating student achievements and recognising the contributions made throughout the year.
Students were acknowledged across four award categories:
- Excellence in Attendance Award – awarded to students who achieved 100% attendance throughout the year. Award Recipients are Kasper and Lily.
- Outstanding Attendance & Commitment Award – presented to students who maintained 100% attendance and recorded no late arrivals. Award Recipients are: Cindie, JJ, Jacky, Betty, Wendy, Ziyu, Alena, Hannah and Michael
- Community Involvement Award – recognising students who actively participated in sports, school activities, and the wider school community. Recipients were nominated by staff members. Award Recipients are Jeff, Jackson, JJ and Lily
- ISP Captains Recognition – acknowledging our ISP Captains for their valuable leadership, support and contributions to the International Student Program throughout the year. Recipients are Michael, Lily, Alena, Ives, Selina and Louisa
It was wonderful to see so many students demonstrating strong attendance, commitment and engagement in school life. We congratulate all award recipients and thank them for the positive example they set for their peers.
Special Acknowledgement
We would also like to acknowledge Jeff and Alena, recipients of the Meliora Sequamur Award. Meaning “Follow the better path”, this award recognises students who demonstrate our school values of humanity, curiosity, fairness and achievement. It celebrates contribution and commitment to both the school and wider community, as well as significant positive change and personal growth.
ELC Camp Adventure in Anglesea
From 26 to 28 October, our ELC students enjoyed an exciting three-day camp in Anglesea as part of the ELC program.
Our international students who arrived in Term 3 took part in a range of outdoor challenges and activities, including kayaking and hiking along Victoria's beautiful Surf Coast. Throughout the camp, students stepped outside their comfort zones, developed new skills, and built friendships with their classmates.
The camp provided a wonderful opportunity for students to experience Victoria's natural beauty, strengthen their resilience, and create lasting memories beyond the classroom.
Chinese First Language NGV Excursion
Our Year 11 Chinese First Language and Chinese Second Language students went together on an excursion to the NGV to explore the Chinese art collection. The visit offered students a unique opportunity to reconnect with Chinese cultural heritage while studying in Melbourne, experiencing Chinese art and traditions through an international perspective and feel a strong sense of cultural pride.
