Our Year 11 and Year 10 students have embraced the Transition Program with energy, courage, and determination, stepping confidently into new challenges and opportunities. A welcoming assembly for the incoming Classes of 2026, led by the College Captains, marked the beginning of their journey. During the assembly, students were introduced to the teams and structures of the campus, enjoyed inspiring musical performances, and received awards for academic excellence and consistent effort in Year 11 VCE and VCE VM. The College Principal, Mr Adamou, and members of the Leadership Team highlighted our core values,Respect, Responsibility, Relationships, and Excellence as the foundation of all we do. They emphasised that we cultivate respect through relationships built on trust, empathy, and understanding, honouring the unique identities, voices, and experiences of every student and staff member. Responsibility empowers our community to act with integrity, make thoughtful decisions, and contribute meaningfully, while strong relationships foster belonging, collaboration, and shared growth. Guided by these values, students were reminded that we strive for excellence in every classroom, program, and interaction, setting high expectations, embracing continuous improvement, and inspiring every student to reach their full potential.
As we celebrate the achievements of all our students, we are reminded that each milestone reached, each challenge overcome, and each step forward is a testament to their potential and perseverance. With pride in the past and excitement for what lies ahead, we look forward to seeing our students continue to flourish, dream boldly, and shape a future filled with promise.
