Canning Vale College

✨ A special shoutout to our incredible HUB students and their Enterprise teacher Ms Stephenson! ✨With creativity, care, and teamwork, they hand-made a beautiful Aboriginal placemat and coaster set as a heartfelt gift for the Principal 💛
We’re so proud of the effort and pride you’ve put into this wonderful project. 👏🌟

🎶 Driftwood in action for Reconciliation Day 🖤💛❤️
Today CVC's Year 10 band "Driftwood" delivered a fantastic performance, joined by Mr Quirk on vocals and Mr Carpenter on lead guitar, of Midnight Oil's "Beds are Burning". A powerful way to honour the day through music 🎸👏

Attention Students 🤝🖤💛❤️As part of our National Reconciliation Week celebrations, all staff and students are warmly invited to attend our Community Performance tomorrow on the Cafe stage at lunchtime.

The performance will feature our very own Year 10 band, Driftwood, with Mr Carpenter joining on guitar and Mr Quirk on vocals as we perform "Beds Are Burning" by Midnight Oil.

Make sure to join in and sing along 🙌💫

Today, in recognition of National Sorry Day, Canning Vale College held a special planting ceremony. The occasion honoured the Stolen Generations and acknowledged their resilience, strength, and enduring connection to culture. Two Native Hibiscus' (Desert Rose) — the official flower of National Sorry Day, will now be fixtures in Canning Vale College's entrance garden as a symbol of our shared commitment to reflection, respect, and healing.

🌏✨ CVC's Cultural Day 2026 – What a Celebration! ✨🌏
Last Thursday, our school came alive with colour, culture, and community spirit as we celebrated Cultural Day! 🧡
A huge shoutout to our incredible Student Councillors whose hard work brought this vibrant event together. From the amazing performances to the interactive activities, the day was a wonderful showcase of diversity and inclusion across our school.👘 Students and staff proudly dressed in clothing representing their cultural heritage, filling our college with tradition, pride, and creativity. It was inspiring to see so many cultures represented and respected.

Congratulations to our students recognised at the Year 8 Languages Award Ceremony on Wednesday for their outstanding effort and high achievement in Indonesian and Italian.
It was a lovely evening celebrating our students and their families, and acknowledging the dedication, persistence, and curiosity they bring to language learning.
Students were also inspired by past students Rojin and Samantha, who shared their experiences of studying Italian in upper school, as well as Year 10 student Theresa, who spoke about her wonderful experience on last year’s Italy Study Tour.
A fantastic evening celebrating student achievement and highlighting the confidence, connections, and opportunities that language learning can create. Well done to all award recipients!

🌿 Mindful May continues at CVC! This week, our focus was on mindful movement in and out of the classroom.
On Tuesday at Recess we had a Students vs Teachers Skipping Challenge and the teachers prevailed! Better luck next time students!
Fantastic to see everyone getting active, having fun, and supporting wellbeing together. 👏
