Well done to the students in Middle School Outdoor Ed for their great work during our recent mountain bike sessions!

Congratulations to our small College swim team who bravely competed in the Yarra District Swimming Carnival on Thursday 5th March in winter like conditions.

What a great day we all had at the Swimming Carnival! A little chilly out of the water, the pools were the place to be.

The College is running smoothly and the clear focus on teaching and learning is evident as I move around the College.

The 8E SELF class recently completed a task to build on team work and leadership skills.

Our small Gold group of students attended this activity and completed some excellent work full of respect, responsibility and excellence.

Peer Support is off to a great start this year with students getting to know each other and developing friendships.

The Year 12 VCE students kicked the year off with gusto on the annual Soaring Start Camp. Staying in the residences of Melbourne University, students sampled life on campus, and learned some valuable study skills to prepare them for the year to come.

What a class of stars! Everyone applied themselves throughout the camp, whether it was helping with equipment, supporting others over difficult parts of the hikes, supporting friends when cooking or working around camp.

The Deputy Premier and Minister for Education, James Merlino, as well as MP Harriet Shing came out to our school to undertake a sod turning ceremony, which officially kicked off the start of construction for our Sustainability Learning Hub, Sports Gymnasium and Town Centre.

2019 has been another busy and productive school year. It is difficult to believe that this is the final newsletter for the year. December has been very industrious with students engaged in classroom and extra-curricular activities. While the College is busy preparing for the 2020 school year, many programs and activities have continued to be prepared and delivered to students still at the College.
