Education Week (May 15th-19th): Celebrating Our Community of Learners

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the students, staff, and parents who made Education Week a resounding success. The week was a wonderful celebration of learning, collaboration, and creativity. From engaging classroom activities to captivating performances, our students demonstrated their passion for education. We are grateful for your unwavering support in making Education Week an enriching experience for all.

Information Evenings: Shaping the Future Together

During Education Week, we hosted a series of information evenings for families, providing valuable insights into our college for the upcoming year, 2024. These events offered parents and carers the opportunity to learn about our comprehensive curriculum, exceptional teaching staff, and the wide range of extracurricular activities available to our students. We were thrilled to see the enthusiastic attendance and active participation of families eager to be part of our school community.

New Tractor Arrival: Cultivating Agricultural Excellence

We are delighted to announce the arrival of our new tractor, made possible through the Agriculture Fund's four-year $50 million modernisation program. This state-of-the-art equipment will revolutionise agricultural education for our secondary students. The tractor will enable hands-on learning experiences, empowering our students with practical skills and knowledge essential for their future careers. We are grateful for the investment made to enhance our agricultural program and offer our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in this initiative.

Debutante Ball: An Evening of Elegance and Memories

On Friday, 26 May, we came together to celebrate a magnificent Debutante ball. Our Year 11 students, accompanied by their families and close friends, showcased their grace and elegance on the dance floor. It was a night filled with joy, laughter, and cherished memories that will last a lifetime. We extend our gratitude to the organising committee, teachers, and students who dedicated their time and effort to create this magical evening.

Special Guest at Primary Assembly: Honouring Our Student Leaders

We were honoured to have Peter Walsh, the Party Leader of the National Party of Australia, join us at our Primary assembly. Mr Walsh graciously presented our students who hold positions of responsibility across the college, recognising their outstanding leadership skills and contributions. We thank Mr Walsh for his presence and for inspiring our student leaders to continue making a positive impact on our college community.

Celebrating Seb's Achievement: Victorian State Football Team Finalist

We are thrilled to celebrate the accomplishment of Seb, a talented Year 6 student who has made it through to the final 60 for the Under 12 Victorian State Football Team (AFL). This is an outstanding achievement, reflecting Seb's dedication, skills, and passion for the sport. We commend him for his hard work and wish him the best as he continues his journey in the selection process. Well done, Seb!
