From the Acting Head of Campus
Year 12 2023
This week on Wednesday November 15 the final VCAA examinations were held at Senior School and across Victoria. The conclusion of these examinations signals a milestone in the life of our year 12s and that is the official conclusion of their Christian college educational journey. Our Year 12 cohort will gather on Sunday at Costa Hall to celebrate this milestone by graduating and becoming alumni of our College. On behalf of everyone involved in their educational journey at Christian College, I commend you for your determination, efforts and dedication to achieving your best. We are so very proud of each of you and the person you have become. The next steps may be daunting but your family, your College and you yourselves have prepared you well for what ever may come your way.
Enjoy your well-deserved celebration on Sunday with your family, friends and College community.
I would also like to take this opportunity to commend our Year 12 students’ families. Thank you for trusting us with your child and allowing us to share the journey with you. We are grateful for your support over their time at Christian College and look forward to learning all about their achievement in the future.
Presentation Afternoon
As our Year 10 and 11 students turn their attention to exam preparation it is also timely to discuss our final celebration for all their hard work during the year. Our presentation afternoon will be held on Tuesday November 28. This afternoon provides the opportunity to celebrate the wonderful academic achievements of our students and to recognise students who have contributed to our College in the areas of sport, arts, music and community service.

Our Fantastic Festival!
This year’s Art, Technology and Design Festival was a spectacular success! Once again, we were proud to highlight hundreds of pieces of work from Christian College students ranging from Kindergarten through to Year 12, with all five campuses and two kindergartens represented.
The feedback from attendees, including parents and families, Christian College staff and students, and other visitors. Our students have so much creativity and love to express themselves in different ways through art, technology and design. Our dedicated ATD staff work brilliantly with them to harness and develop their skills all areas we offer.
The Festival Finale this year was a great event with hundreds of people gathering to take in the exhibition, hear from our inspiring guest speaker Bec Riddle, and attend the ‘Creators in the Spotlight’ sessions. It was wonderful to listen to our students talk about various aspects of their creative journeys in completing a whole range of different projects.
Many people worked so incredibly hard in many different ways to make the Festival such a memorable and successful event – from ATD staff, the College leadership to marketing, maintenance, special events personnel and many other professional support staff, and of course the hundreds of students who created the artworks on display, and those who worked behind the scenes – a big THANK YOU. Your efforts have brought profound joy and many happy memories to our Christian College community in 2023.

Cross Campus Drum Night – Are you Rolling?
Did you know the longest continuous drum roll on record was played for 16 hours, 41 minutes and 50 seconds? A great goal for our budding drummers, maybe?
The joy of drumming was evident at the RW Gibson Centre on Tuesday night as over 20 drummers from all 5 campuses came together to share an amazing night of percussive excellence! With students from Years 1 to 11 it was a joy for the audience to witness a variety of genres, beats and catchy tunes. Impressive coordination and precision were exhibited by students and the positivity in sharing cross campus and with great comradery was a highlight of the evening.
Please enjoy some photos from this great annual event on the College Calendar.
