From the Principal Class

This term is flying by! 

While the weather continues to be unpredictable, we are still managing to provide lots of extracurricular activities, including our Year 8 camp to Merricks. 

Other notable events:

• The Morrisby Interviews for Year 9 students have concluded. These interviews provide students with some guidance regarding interests and future pathways.
• Year 12 exams have concluded, and we are looking forward to the Valedictory Celebration at the San Remo Ballroom in Carlton tonight. Always a wonderful evening to recognise the achievements of the Class of ’22.
• Year 10 and 11 exams are underway. These provide important exam experience for our students heading towards their final year, but also important data about their learning growth and gaps to be worked on.

Middle School Production:

A reminder that our Middle School Production, ‘Game On’ is happening over two nights – Wednesday November 30 and Thursday December 1.

Remembrance Day

At 11am on Friday 11th November, we stopped to pause and reflect for Remembrance Day.  Year 8 students, Lenni and Jai  read In Flanders Fields over the speaker to the College.

The Last Post was then played which was recorded by Dawson C (Year 10) playing the trumpet.

Science Talent Search

Last newsletter we reported on the Science Talent Search.

The award ceremony was held on Wednesday 16th November via zoom.

Prizes and certificates were presented to winners.

Congratulations to all - amazing effort!

Sustainability Project - Second Hand Uniform Sale

We will have an after school second hand uniform stall on:

Wednesday 7th Dcember from 3.30pm - 5.00pm in Room R12 and R13 (near the IT office) at Viewbank College.

Papua New Guinea Book and Stationery Drive

Hold Up! 

Thinking of throwing away your textbooks and art supplies at the end of the year? 

Why do that when you can donate your ‘New’ OR ‘Gently Used’ supplies to the children in Papua New Guinea? 

Your donation will assist them in receiving quality education from early childhood through high school. 

Donation boxes will be available from 7th November (Monday) at the Library, General Office, Wellbeing Center and STEAM Room (J07).
