Victorian College for the Deaf - Official

Congratulations to our school community for their participation in the VCD cross-country last week. Both Primary and Secondary students gave it their absolute best. We had a great time running and competing around the iconic Albert Park Lake. Some great runs were seen! We enjoyed a fantastic BBQ cooked by the Senior students, and the Primary students also competed in an egg and spoon race. And, of course, VCD House rivalry was high. Who won? High or Punt? Green or Red. Take a guess! Hint: It was NOT the colour of grass!
GO PUNT!!!!!

Last week, students participated in Reconciliation Week activities. Primary students created artwork to put on display at school. All students learnt about First Nations “yarn”, including how this is important for knowledge and culture sharing within a group. Students reflected on the school values, with College Captains reminding all students to show these values everyday towards all people, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Education Week, Victoria. Meet some of our senior students at VCD!

VCD students commemorated ANZAC Day on Friday. Our Senior students spoke about what ANZAC Day means and why we commemorate it. The primary students laid a wreath they had made. We all observed a minute’s silence. Afterwards we shared in eating ANZAC Day biscuits made by Senior students.

VCD is deeply saddened by the news of Marc Ethan’s passing. We acknowledge the significant impact Marc has had on our school, our current and former staff and students, and the Deaf community since the early 2000s. He contributed to our College in many ways, including interpreting parent-teacher interviews and school council meetings, professional learning for staff, student VET placements, school incursions, and assisting in the development of our Attitudes to School Survey (AtoSS), as well as countless other events too numerous to mention. Marc consistently brought warmth, professionalism, integrity and a deep commitment to supporting the important work of the College. He was a valued ally to both VCD and the Deaf community and was cherished by many staff and students, past and present. Vale Marc. Thank you for everything you have given to our community. You will be greatly missed.
