Year 7 2023 Orientation Day
The Year 7 2023 students enjoyed a wonderful day at the College on Thursday 10 November. The students experienced a little time in Music, Math’s, Science, Physical Education and Indonesian. It was a highly successful day with lots of happy new students and staff. A very big thank you to the current Year 6 teachers for cooking up a storm at the BBQ. The current Dunhelen Captains who gave up their day to help with the Orientation Day should also be congratulated on a wonderful job. They were wonderful examples of the students we have at Aitken College.
Class Captains and Sustainability Leaders
Over the last two weeks we have continued to thank and recognise the Class Captains and Sustainability Leaders for 2022 in Year 7 and 8. These students have been positive role models and taken on the challenges of leading their peers.

Funhelen Festival
The Funhelen Festival will be held on Thursday 1 December. All students will be attending the festivities which have been organised and run by the current Year 9 students as part of their Service Learning projects. Students are encouraged to bring $5-$10 to spend on the stalls. The Service Project is an amazing experience where Year 9s learn to event manage while giving back to their community.
Leadership Interviews
Leadership interviews have now concluded, and we begin the hard task of selecting our Captains for next year. The new Leadership Student Team will be notified once this happens.
With only two weeks of the school term left it is important for students to remember that it is ‘business as usual’ and all school rules still apply. Please speak to your child about this and about the importance of seeing out the year in a positive manner. Students who behave inappropriately will not be attending their end-of-year events. It would be a shame to miss them, as the homerooms will be changed for next year and it lets down other class members and the teachers who all look forward to a good finish and time to reflect on the year.
