Student Awards

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award

Congratulations to our 2016 Year 9 Advance students who received their Duke of Edinburgh’s (Dukes) Award Bronze Certificate in 2017.

 

“For my Dukes Award, I did volunteer work in the school library and also developed an appreciation for nature and new interests such as hiking. The Dukes Award has increased my chances of gaining employment, as it represents: independence, respect, determination and dedication.” Tony Micallef (10)

 

“Participating and completing in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award was a rewarding and enjoyable experience. Receiving the Dukes Award made me feel proud of my accomplishment, and gave me the opportunity to do more in the community and taught me how to deal with challenges in life.” Jessica Janceva (10)

Spark Engineering – a Youth Without Borders Initiative

"We enjoyed the Spark Engineering Camp at Queen's College, Melbourne University. Every day we visited inspirational universities that provided fascinating activities for us to do. The camp gave me a whole new perspective about engineering and I've found a university that I wish to attend. This experience will forever be cherished. Sparkies stay sparkling!"
