We are proud to recognise Bella P, the reigning U55kg Australian Amateur Boxing Champion.

Bella showcased incredible skill and determination across three days of competition, finishing with a powerful final bout of three two-minute rounds to secure her title.

This outstanding achievement, earned in Queensland last November, is a testament to her dedication, resilience, and passion for the sport. We are incredibly proud of you, Bella!

Valuing student agency is a key component of individual learning support, encouraging and allowing students to participate on the same basis as their peers.

Recently, our Year 9 students embarked on a remarkable journey to Central Australia— an experience that challenged them, strengthened their connections, and deepened their appreciation for Australia’s natural and cultural heritage.

Aitken College’s very own Ms Annamaria Meszaros has been sharing her wealth of knowledge and real-world experience with our Year 11 students through Financial Literacy.

Over the past few weeks in their Life Skills classes, students have explored essential topics including Tax File Numbers and their importance, how superannuation works, credit cards and Afterpay, the hidden costs of “easy money,” car depreciation, loans, interest and comparison rates, and more.

These valuable lessons are giving our students a meaningful insight into life beyond school, building their confidence, independence, and understanding of the financial decisions that shape everyday life.

We are incredibly proud to provide opportunities like this, equipping our students with the skills they need to be truly future focused.

Recently, Mrs Anne Zugan, our Head of Faculty in Religion and Values Education, had the opportunity to serve as a panel speaker, sharing her experiences with the Religions and Worldviews (RWE) Pilot Program, delivered in Yr 7D, at Aitken College during Term 1.

The purpose of the panel was to provide insight into the implementation and impact of the pilot program within classroom contexts.

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐢𝐭𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞! (27th May to 3rd June)

The 27th of May is a significant day in Australia's history as it marks the anniversary of the 1967 referendum which overwhelmingly voted to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the Australian population.

To mark the occasion, students at the College were invited to show their support for Reconciliation by going “All In.” They could do this by adding their name to our poster or writing a personal message about how they will continue to learn more about Reconciliation in Australia.

Students and staff also had the opportunity to watch archival footage from the National Film and Sound Archive, which was projected in the CPA space, helping bring this important moment in history to life.
