Beacon Pledge 2015 

The Beacon Pledge is an important milestone for Year 10 as it celebrates the successes of the year and looks forward to continuing success in VCE and VCAL. It provides an opportunity for each student to sign a ‘pledge’ book, the pledge aims to ensure each student works to the best of their ability and strives for success in their chosen path, be it educational or in the workforce.

The four Beacon Ambassador; Linda Nguyen, Jessica Vo, Ricki Tran and Minh Truong, spent many hours preparing for the afternoon. Their hard work and exceptional organisational and presentation skills were on show as the Beacon Pledge celebration got under way. A highlight of the afternoon were the ex-students who were invited back to address the group, Tina Cheng, Demi Tran and current Year 12 student William Zahra (who was a last minute call up). They all spoke of their experiences throughout VCE and tertiary studies and gave the Year 10’s plenty of excellent advice for the coming years.

Excitement was throughout the crowd as each Year 10 class was pictured on a slideshow with hopes and dreams for the future on display. The Beacon Ambassadors organised some interactive games to decide who would win the three door prizes on offer which was a roaring success. The winners of the door prizes very pleased with their win.

The last formality of the day was the ‘cutting of the cake’. The guest speakers and invited guests all wished the students all the best as they cut the cake and reinforced the importance of the ‘pledge’.

A huge thank you to all the Student Beacon Ambassadors in running such a great afternoon.
