VCE China Conference
Over the holidays, staff from the College attended the 2026 Transnational VCE Conference in Guiyang, China.
They came together with more than 240 educators to exchange ideas and strengthen the delivery of the VCE program on an international scale.
The conference was held over three days, exploring the conference theme, "Education in the Age of AI". Particular thanks to our Director of International Programs, Paul Piperno, who co-hosted the conference.
Oedipus the King Performance
Our Year 12 English students were lucky enough to see a live performance of the text they're studying, Oedipus the King. The show was incredible, and brought the classic Greek tragedy to life for students.
Student Leadership Forum
Our Student Leadership gathered for their Term 3 Leadership Forum earlier in the Term, discussing previous proposals and presenting new ones. As always, the College's student leadership program is an incredible example of the students commitment to making the College better, and we look forward to seeing the results of this most recent forum.
Visit from the Maribyrnong Mayor
The College was excited to welcome Cr Mohamed Semra, Mayor of Maribyrnong, to speak to some of our members of student leadership. They presented a report to the Mayor, discussing public safety for students around the College. We look forward to continuing to work with Cr Semra in the future!
Congratulations to Elessar C
A big congratulations to Elessar C from Year 10, who recently returned from Queensland with a silver medal after representing School Sport Australia at the National Championships!
Elessar was co-captain of the Victorian Under 15 Boys' Volleyball Team, and the team fought incredibly hard for their medals. Well done, Elessar!
Youth Parliament
Three Year 11 students, Leah Nguyen, Eliza Morris, and Monica Mayen, recently had the privilege of participating in the 2026 YMCA Youth Parliament Program, an annual leadership and civic engagement initiative delivered in partnership with local government and parliamentary mentors.
The program brought together 120 young people aged 16 to 25 from across Victoria. Participants attended a three-day residential training camp at Lake Dewar Discovery Camp, where they took part in team-building activities while learning about the Victorian parliamentary system, advocacy, and community leadership.
Leah, Eliza, and Monica were proudly sponsored and mentored by the Maribyrnong Youth Council, which supported them in developing their debating, policy-writing, and parliamentary skills. This year’s Youth Parliament focused on problem gambling and its impact on society, culminating in participants presenting and debating their proposed Bill at Parliament House before parliamentarians and policymakers.
The program provided a valuable opportunity for students to build confidence, strengthen their public speaking and collaboration skills, and deepen their understanding of civic leadership. We are grateful for the ongoing support of Maribyrnong Youth Services and are extremely proud of Leah, Eliza, and Monica for representing our College community with distinction. Through this experience, they have developed meaningful connections, leadership skills, and personal growth.
Student Testimonials:
Youth Parliament is a place that fosters leadership, advocacy and networking for young people in a space where every idea and voice is supported and encouraged. This program was not only a place of learning, but a place where friendships and connections I never thought could happen came to life. It was a privilege to have been a part of the 2026 Victorian Youth Parliament and an honor to represent the Maribyrnong Youth Advisory Committee. The friends which I have made on this program truly feel like a once in a lifetime connection and I would recommend this program to anyone passionate in advocating for a change.

I was able to speak my mind and not be afraid of things, because if I'm thinking of it likely others are.
