"Sky Hydrant" Fundraiser 

On Thursday the 25th of October the year 8 student leaders organised our fundraiser day for our school charity ‘Sky hydrant’ which provides clean drinking water for people in third world countries. The students participated in bowling, watched a movie in performing arts, took part in quizzes, raffles and enjoyed a sausage sizzle for lunch. It was a terrific day, with a fantastic atmosphere and enjoyed by all! All up the year 8s managed to raise around $1200 for the college charity which was a fantastic outcome.

Australian Red Cross Ambassador

On Monday the 22nd of October  the year 8 students were fortunate enough to hear from guest presenter and motivational speaker Abdi Aden.  Abdi is a Youth worker, author, former refugee and Australian Red Cross Ambassador.  Abdi shared his story with our students and his message was incredibly valuable in terms of resilience, perseverance and positivity.

The Monash students ran a range of Art and Sport activities for the Mornington students in their state of the art facilities!
