We’re proud to celebrate the achievements of Max and Melanie, who recently received awards at the Australian Music Examinations Board SA & NT Awards Ceremony for 2025 Candidates 🎶

✨ Max Junge - Voice Certificate Prize and Singing Certificate of Performance
✨ Melanie Cavanagh - Voice Grade 7 Prize

Held on 11 April 2026 in Bonython Hall at Adelaide University, the ceremony celebrated outstanding music candidates from across the state. The awards were presented by Dr Emily Dollman, Head of Music Education and Pedagogy at the Elder Conservatorium of Music, recognising the hard work and achievements of each recipient.

A huge congratulations to both students on this incredible achievement 👏

We are thrilled to congratulate Abinav on being selected as the Federal Youth Member for Kingston for 2026 as part of the inaugural National Youth Parliament.

Chosen from more than 2,200 applicants nationwide, Abinav will represent his electorate in Canberra this August, joining 150 students from across Australia for an immersive parliamentary experience led by the Department of the House of Representatives in partnership with The Y Australia.

An outstanding achievement and a well-deserved recognition. We look forward to following Abinav’s journey.

USC Year 12 student, Riley Kay, from the 432 Army Cadet Unit stood vigil overnight at Adelaide’s War Memorial ahead of the Anzac Day Dawn Service on North Terrace and participated in the Anzac Day march, as part of his role in honouring service and sacrifice.

Riley has spent almost five years in cadets, building skills, confidence, and a strong sense of belonging, while also crediting the program with helping him succeed at school and shaping his future goal of joining the Air Force as an engineer.

We are incredibly proud of Riley and the dedication, leadership, and commitment he has shown through his service with the Army Cadets.

Our students competed in Round 2 of the Mock Trial Competition, hosted by the Law Society of SA, with two teams representing USC as applicants.

👏 Our Year 12 team secured a win against Scotch College, while our Year 11 team achieved a fantastic win against St Dominic’s.

A great result and an impressive display of teamwork, preparation, and advocacy!

📢 USC will be closed for the first week of the holidays and will reopen on Monday 20th. We hope everyone enjoys a well-deserved break.

Our Year 11 Politics students recently visited Parliament House, where they took part in a guided tour and learned more about the role of Parliament.

Year 11 Drama students attended the Adelaide Festival performance of “Mama Does Derby”. This high octane show at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre allowed students to analyse how productions elevate storytelling through lighting, set, movement, music and costume.

A class of our Year 10 STEM students have been learning to apply hardware and software concepts to their VEX Robotics projects, rebuilding and recoding their robots for a variety of challenges.

From optimising their drivetrain to debugging their latest code, these students are proving that persistence and iteration are the best algorithms for success. Watching them troubleshoot in real-time is a great reminder that the future of engineering is in very capable hands!
