Charles La Trobe P-12 College selected as one of 20 National Entrepreneurial Schools (2026–2027)

We are pleased to share that Charles La Trobe P-12 College has been selected as one of 20 public secondary schools nationally to participate in the Entrepreneurial Schools Project 2026–2027. Delivered by Young Change Agents in partnership with the Australian Secondary Principals’ Association (ASPA), this two-year national initiative supports schools to strengthen student agency, contemporary learning practices, and real-world relevance across whole-school culture and curriculum.

The project aligns strongly with our school’s strategic priorities, particularly our focus on:

● student voice and independence in their learning
● future-focused teaching and learning
● connections between learning, community and real-world contexts
This initiative is not about turning every student into an entrepreneur. Instead, it’s about ensuring every young person develops the confidence, skills and mindset to shape their own future and contribute positively to their community.
Participation will provide access to:
● principal and leadership professional learning
● educator professional learning and practical classroom tools
● support to establish or strengthen a student Youth Council
● national networks of like-minded educators and schools
● evidence-based impact measurement frameworks
● contribution to a national education policy paper

We look forward to working together to build on the strong practice already happening at Charles La Trobe P-12 College and to learning alongside schools across Australia.

“Being selected for the Entrepreneurial Schools Project recognises the commitment of our staff to empowering students as active, capable learners. This partnership gives us the structure and support to take that work further.”

We are very proud of our VCE Highest Achievers for 2025, Aimi and Mohammad, with Aimi the Dux. It is exciting to see their pathways for 2025 onto University. We extend congratulations to all students who achieved an ATAR and are now pursing post secondary avenues! Equally it is exciting to hear of our VM students headed to apprenticeships and TAFEs.

We are very fortunate to have Quantum Victoria as a part of our College. Last week we participated in their annual conference and this week they are hosting a number of schools for the PrintACar finals. This event combines a number of STEM elements in the production of the cars and measurement of their performance. Good luck to all the visiting school teams.

From Kinder to Prep: Ready for School, Ready for Life!

In August, we welcomed families to a Parent Information Night, held in collaboration with Charles La Trobe Primary School – La Trobe Campus.

Our Kindergarten teachers, Mr Yu Jin and Ms Yeeko, shared how Nexus prepares little ones for school through our Montessori-inspired and play-based blended learning approach.
We were also joined by Ms Soula, Principal of Charles La Trobe Primary School, who gave families a glimpse into what life looks like in primary school.

It was a lovely evening of learning, connection, and community 💛
