Congratulations to cast and crew on the first performance of our Senior Production Freaky Friday !

There is still time to catch the show with performances tonight, Saturday and Sunday!

When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just 24 hours to put things right again before Mum’s wedding day.

Forced to step into each other's shoes, the pair gain a newfound understanding of the challenges, pressures, and joys each faces every day.

Packed with relatable characters and a catchy contemporary musical score, Freaky Friday is a feel-good celebration of family, empathy, and seeing the world from another person’s perspective.

Our students Mary W, Crosby W, Angus H (Year 7), Angus d G, Greta J, Year 8, Holly B, Kaia K-G (Year 9) participated in a wonderful learning opportunity - the Regional German Poetry Competition, run by the Association of German Teachers of Victoria.

Students learned and practised a German poem, and recited it in front of two judges, competing against other schools. It is a great activity for students to develop their pronunciation, put their skills to the test, and gain in confidence.

Congratulations to Angus H (Year 7) who placed third.

It was a wonderful way to conclude Term 2 and celebrate our Year 11 students at the Presentation Ball held on Friday at Melbourne Town Hall.

Thank you to our community for joining us and sharing this special evening as we celebrated such an outstanding group of young people.

Last week our VCE Chemistry students visited the University of Melbourne to participate in analytical instrument workshops.

Year 11 students used UV-Visible Spectroscopy to analyse water samples and Year 12 used a combination of instruments including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Infra-Red Spectroscopy to identify organic molecules.

The workshops also gave our students an insight into this world-renowned Chemistry department's facilities.

Germany and Indonesia come to Billanook for our Year 7 Languages Karneval Day!

Our Year 7 students enjoyed an exciting day immersed in the cultures of Germany and Indonesia. Students performed traditional German and Indonesian dances, explored cultural customs, and had the opportunity to play traditional musical instruments such as the sapé and angklung. The day provided an authentic opportunity for students to step beyond their everyday world and celebrate language, culture, diversity, and global connections. Well done Year 7’s on a wonderful day!
