Endeavour College

🖤❤️💛 Today, our College community came together for National Reconciliation Week. During NRW, we reflect on our shared histories and cultures, actively participating in the ongoing journey of Reconciliation in Australia.

While this week provides an important opportunity for conversation and learning, every day is an opportunity to take meaningful steps forward through collective action, hope and community.

On Friday night, our Music students brought the glitz and glamour of Hollywood to Endeavour College with a sold-out, One Night in Hollywood, Cabaret! 🌟🎬

Guests walked the red carpet in their finest attire, including a whole table of Minions, before enjoying an incredible evening of movie-inspired music performed by ten ensembles.

The audience was treated to a fantastic variety of musical styles, featuring themes from blockbuster films including Star Wars, Jaws, The Greatest Showman and Mission: Impossible, alongside Pixar and Studio Ghibli favourites, funk and soul, rock and metal, and a toe-tapping set by a unique collaboration of Year 12 Music students and Old Scholars.

A huge thank you to Ms Stanley and the Music staff for another wonderful evening showcasing the incredible talents of our students.
We’re already looking forward to next year’s event! 🎶✨

This one had to make the grid 📸🙌

A group of students from Years 10 to 12, led by Mr Thiele and Ms de Lacy, with the mentorship and support of Old Scholars Samuel Carroll and Portia de Lacy, spent part of their school holidays on our Vietnam Study Tour, immersing themselves in culture and history.

Highlights listed below:
✨ Explored Hoi An and the Marble Mountains
🛶 Experienced basket boat rides and Vietnamese cooking classes
🎖️ Visited historic Vietnam War sites, including Long Tan Cross and Nui Dat
❤️ Raised $4,400 to support orphanages in Ba Ria
🤝 Spent time with children at local orphanages and delivered supplies
🚤 Cruised the Mekong River and explored Ho Chi Minh City

The study tour was an incredible experience with an amazing group of students.
These lasting memories will be cherished for many years to come.

On Saturday, College Captains Jemma Gillard and Koen Greenham, accompanied by Mr David Thiele, attended the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at the Salisbury War Memorial. They laid a wreath on behalf of the College in honour of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

In 2026, the Australian Army and Royal Australian Navy mark 125 years of service, alongside key anniversaries including the Battle of Kapyong (Korean War) and the Battle of Long Tan (Vietnam War).

This ANZAC Day, and every day, we remember the service and sacrifice of all who have served and give thanks to those who continue to serve today.

LEST WE FORGET 🌺

Recently, we were honoured to welcome Her Excellency the Honourable Frances Adamson AC, Governor of South Australia, and Mr Bunten to Endeavour College.

Following an Acknowledgement of Country in Kaurna language, our students and staff engaged in a meaningful discussion on leadership and civics. It was inspiring to hear Her Excellency’s reflections on her journey in public service, reminding us that effective leadership is grounded in service, integrity, and a genuine commitment to community.

We are sincerely grateful to Her Excellency and Mr Bunten for their time and generosity in making this a memorable and enriching experience for all.
