Overnewton Anglican Community College

It was a privilege to attend the Sustainability Victoria 2026 ResourceSmart Schools Awards at the Melbourne Cricket Ground yesterday, where Overnewton celebrated its seventh nomination.

This year, our Synergy Sustainability Leader, Natalie Di Sauro, was recognised as a finalist in the Teacher of the Year (Secondary) category, acknowledging her outstanding contribution to sustainability education and environmental leadership.

Natalie and fellow Synergy leader Josh Reeves were joined by students with a passion for sustainability and spent the day exploring the inspiring projects on display by schools from across Victoria as part of the 2026 Sustainability Showcase.

The event provided a wonderful opportunity for our students to connect with like-minded young people, discover innovative sustainability initiatives, and celebrate the collective impact schools are making towards a more sustainable future.

Class of 2016, please save the date for your 10 Year Reunion!

Join us on Friday 28 August at 6:00pm in the Assembly Hall, Yirramboi Campus, for an evening of reconnecting with classmates, sharing memories, and reflecting on the decade since graduation.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Overnewton and celebrating this special milestone together.

Our Athletics squad delivered their strongest-ever performance at the ACS Athletics Championships last week, bringing home a record nine championship flags and showcasing outstanding determination, teamwork and talent against the best athletes across the Association.

In an exceptionally close competition, with just 30 points separating first and fourth place overall, Overnewton finished a remarkable fourth - only five points behind third place. This result reflects the continued growth and strength of our Athletics program.

We also celebrate our students who finished among the Top 20 Athletes of the Meet, including Alysia and Nathan, who both achieved outstanding 2nd place finishes.

Congratulations to every student who competed, as well as our Athletics Captains Carlo, Alan and Alyssa, and staff Mr Riley Caines and Ms Carolyn Sadler for their leadership and support.

We are incredibly proud of what our students achieved and excited for what lies ahead in 2027!

Seussical KIDS was a triumph!

Our talented Year 5 & 6 students wowed audiences last week as they sang, danced and acted their way through the story of Horton the Elephant, bringing the magic of Dr Seuss to life on stage.

The cast should be incredibly proud of their performances, with surprise cameo appearances from Mr Moore, Mrs Wilkinson and Mrs Di Stefano adding even more fun to the show!

This week, students across the College have been taking part in meaningful activities and conversations for National Reconciliation Week, guided by this year’s theme, “All In”.

On Tuesday, we were proud and delighted to host students and staff from Melbourne Indigenous Transition School for our inaugural Reconciliation Sports Day. Students came together for AFL, basketball and volleyball in a celebration of connection, culture and community.

At Junior School, students explored the significance of the week for First Nations Australians and Australian culture through RaVE sessions and SRC messages.

Middle School, Year 9 and Senior School students also gathered for Reconciliation Week assemblies, with opportunities for reflection and student voice.

The theme “All In” is a call for shared commitment, reminding us that reconciliation is something we all contribute to every day. It asks us to move beyond awareness into action, working together to learn, listen and walk alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in meaningful and lasting ways.

Today our Year 1 and Year 4 students proudly welcomed their families into the Junior School for the second of this week’s Celebration of Learning events.

Students confidently guided their special guests through work samples and learning tasks, clearly explaining the purpose behind their work, how they approached challenges, and the progress they have made so far this year.

This week’s events saw our greatest parent involvement to date, with classrooms overflowing with families as students shared their learning journey. It was a wonderful celebration of the reflective and capable learners being nurtured across our Junior School.

Students across our campuses have been enthusiastically involved in hands-on sustainability activities in recent weeks.

At Canowindra, students in the Junior Rangers Club have been preparing vegetable garden beds, planting seedlings supplied by Brimbank City Council as part of their Veggie Seedlings in Schools program.

At Yirramboi, Middle School students in Waa’s Helper Lunchtime Club have been revitalising garden spaces by preparing garden beds, establishing a compost system using canteen food scraps and creating colourful posters to brighten the area.

It has been wonderful to see students developing practical skills while caring for the College environment and learning more about sustainability.

We are proud to introduce Old Collegians in Focus, a new series celebrating the journeys, achievements and contributions of Overnewton alumni beyond their school years. As this collection of stories continues to grow, we look forward to sharing the diverse paths our Old Collegians have taken across industries, communities and around the world.

We are delighted to begin the series with Nic Antoniou (Class of 2005) whose story is an inspiring reflection of the opportunities, passions and experiences that continue long after graduation.

Are you an Old Collegian with a story to tell? We invite members of our alumni community to connect with us and be part of this growing series.

Today we welcomed our Prep, Year 2 and Year 3 families into the Junior School for the first of two Celebration of Learning events.

There were smiles all round as students proudly shared their classrooms, workbooks, drawings and achievements with the special people in their lives. It was wonderful to see the joy, confidence and excitement on our students’ faces as they reflected on their learning journey so far this year.
