East Doncaster Secondary College

We are excited to announce this year’s school production: Backstage Pass!

Specially written for East Doncaster Secondary College, Backstage Pass follows five current superstars as they step into the spotlight at a glamorous red-carpet event. But behind the flashing cameras and cheering fans, we quickly discover that fame is not as effortless or glamorous as it seems.

As their careers soar, each character must navigate the pressures, expectations, and challenges that come with life in the public eye. Through friendship, conflict, and self-discovery, they begin to question what fame really means. Is it everything they dreamed of, or something far more complicated?

Exploring themes of identity, ambition, and the true cost of success in a world that is always watching, Backstage Pass promises to be an entertaining and thought-provoking production.

Our talented cast and crew have been working incredibly hard to bring this exciting show to life, and we cannot wait to share it with our school community.

Congratulations Runyu (Richard) from East Doncaster Secondary College on being awarded the International Student of the Year Award - Ambassador Award and the Year 12 Academic Excellence Award.

Richard said; “International students need to quickly adapt to study in a new environment and integrate into the local community. As International Student Captain, I dedicated myself to help the international students at our school to overcome these difficulties.”

Well done Richard, what an incredible and well-deserved achievement!

International school students, Victoria

Our inaugural Japan trip in April 2026 was an unforgettable experience for twenty Year 11 STEM students and three teachers.

They started off in the science central city of Tsukuba, where highlights included KEK, a particle accelerator research laboratory, the Tsukuba botany department with a tour guided by their resident mycologist, and the JAXA Space Research Facility featuring the Japanese space control centre linked directly to the International Space Station.

Students also reflected on history at Hiroshima’s Peace Park and Museum, caught a glimpse of Mount Fuji, travelled on Japan’s famous bullet trains, and experienced Japanese culture and cuisine.
Students gained valuable lessons in global citizenship, independence and cultural appreciation, making the trip a resounding success.

This week, our Year 9 students set out to further explore and understand the City of Melbourne. With fantastic weather on their side, they engaged in a variety of enriching and enjoyable activities that helped expand their awareness of the local community.
Sights included the Melbourne Aquarium, The Old Magistrates Court, The Royal Botanic Gardens, The Shrine of Remembrance, The MCG, Old Melbourne Gaol and many more.

Today, our college will come together to commemorate Anzac Day and honour the courage, sacrifice and service of all those who have served our country.
Through reflection and remembrance, we pay tribute to the Anzac spirit and the legacy it continues to leave for future generations.
We invite our community to join us as we pause to remember those who gave so much for the freedoms we enjoy today.
Lest we forget.

Easter is a special time for families to connect, reflect, and appreciate meaningful moments together.

Whether you mark the occasion with traditions, gatherings, or a peaceful long weekend, we extend our warm wishes to our entire school community for a safe, joyful, and relaxing holiday break.

Term 2 starts back 20 April 2026, we shall see you then!

Our students competed in the 2026 School Sport Victoria Eastern Metropolitan Region Swimming Championships.

Overall, the team finished the carnival in 2nd place. This was a great achievement by the students who proudly represented our College.

Our team had several standout moments on the day, including breaking new records. The collective team spirit and support from all team members stood out across the day.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of Anglesea, our Year 7 students had the opportunity to disconnect from technology and connect with the environment. We are extremely proud of the resilience, teamwork, and enthusiasm our students showed throughout the camp, and we look forward to seeing how these experiences shape the rest of their year at EDSC.

Earlier this month our student Tsz Yau Angel Wong was awarded with Top Three International Student of 2024.

The Victoria Premier hosted the ceremony, recognising the exceptional dedication and hard work during the 2024 VCE with a perfect study score in Biology and 99+ ATAR.

We are incredibly proud, congratulations Angel, we wish you great success ahead in your future journey.

East Doncaster SC hosted our annual Big Freeze event last term to raise funds for Fight MND and those suffering with Motor Neurone Disease.

This has been a long-standing relationship with Fight MND and the Daniher Family and East Doncaster Secondary College that we are proud to continue each year.

We would finally like to thank the East Doncaster Community for your support with the event! It has been out most successful student fundraiser as we reached our goal of $5000!
