Mount Rowan Secondary College Alumni

🏉 Flashback Friday: Footy Edition 🏉

With the 2026 season nearly done, we're taking a moment to celebrate the Wendouree alumni who once put the boots on for Ballarat Secondary College.

Some of you were on this team. Some of you remember cheering from the sidelines. Either way — we want to hear from you. Share your stories, tag your old teammates, and let's relive some of these moments together! 🏆

🌟 Alumni Spotlight 🌟

We're excited to welcome Amy to our Alumni Program! Amy graduated from Mount Rowan Secondary College in 2021 and has been making her mark ever since.

After heading to Darwin, Amy recently graduated with First Class Honours from Charles Darwin University in Microbiology — an incredible achievement! 👏

Congratulations, Amy — we're so proud of everything you've accomplished! 🎓

🌟 Inspiring Student Leadership 🌟

As our current Year 11 students begin their Leadership interviews for roles of responsibility next year, we wish them all the very best!

Leadership at Mount Rowan Secondary College has a rich history, and we know many of our Alumni once stood in these students' shoes.

Were you a Student Leader in 2004 or at anytime at the School?
We'd love to hear from you:

💬 What advice would you give to current students applying for leadership roles?
💬 What was your best memory of being part of the Student Leadership team?

🎓 A Wonderful Full-Circle Moment 🎓

It's a wonderful moment when you bring together a group of Alumni who are now working at the very school they once attended. Over the years, our school has been known by several names — Wendouree High Technical School, Wendouree Secondary College, Ballarat Secondary College (Wendouree), and now Mount Rowan Secondary College — but the sense of community has remained the same. It was lovely to hear this group reminisce and connect over their shared time at school.

Meet our staff members who are also proud Alumni:

🌟 Nick Cochrane — Class of 2018, Health & PE
🌟 Helen Linahan (Petrie) — Class of 1981, School Reception
🌟 Belinda Spark (Furness) — Class of 1990, Wellbeing
🌟 Leanne Dumesny (Bentley) — Class of 1991, English & Psychology
🌟 Jodie Burrell (Briggs) — Class of 1994, Learning Support

From students to staff, their journey is a beautiful reminder of the lasting connection our school community creates — one that spans generations, and even name changes. Thank you for continuing to give back to the place that helped shape you.

🎓 Alumni Spotlight: Georgia 🎓

Mount Rowan Secondary College is proud to welcome Georgia to our Alumni Program.

Since graduating in 2016, Georgia has built an impressive career as a Podiatrist, now proudly serving the Ballarat community and supporting the health and wellbeing of local residents.

Her achievements over the past decade serve as a genuine source of inspiration for our current students, demonstrating what can be accomplished through dedication and hard work. We warmly welcome Georgia to the alumni community and look forward to following her continued success.

Tag someone you shared a locker with. Tag your form teacher if you dare. Tag the friend who still owes you a mixtape.

Somewhere in this photo is a future teacher, tradie, parent, and probably someone who still owes their mate a lunch order 😂
