Chaffey Secondary College

We recently had 3 teams compete in the Victorian State Jigsaw Puzzle Championships.

Team “Falling Into Place” came 1st with a time of 1:04:59!

Team “Hungry Hippos” came 3rd with a time of 1:48:07, and team “The Unsolved” came 4th with a time of just over 2 hours.

“Falling Into Place”will represent Victoria in November for the National Jigsaw Puzzle Championships!

Last week we celebrated NAIDOC Week across the college. The week featured activities and food at break time for everyone to enjoy including Johnny cakes and a BBQ, and art activities. Over $500 was raised for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation with our NAIDOC donuts.

We’re always incredibly proud to see our current and former students achieving success within and beyond our community.

Rohullah Ataye’s journey to medicine took him from Chaffey Secondary College to Biomedical Science at Monash University in Melbourne, and now back to the Loddon Mallee as an End-to-End Rural Cohort student Monash Rural Health as he completes his clinical training in medicine. He is still exploring different areas of medicine but has developed an interest in surgery and cardiology🫀
🩺
Rohullah’s advice for anyone with a rural background considering medicine: believing your background is your advantage!

“Growing up rurally gives you a unique understanding of the challenges faced by regional communities and helps you develop qualities such as resilience, adaptability and connection with patients.”
