First week of the last term of the year is done! And the smiles around the college have been just as bright as this Friday’s sunshine. ☀️

Friends catching up after a few weeks apart, teachers welcoming their classes and students settling straight back into learning, and everyone returning to their favourite spots for recess and lunch — that’s what Week 1 has been all about: 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘳𝘩𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘮 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘦. 📚📖

The final stretch of the year is looking very promising, with new content to explore, progress to make, skills to strengthen and learning to put to the test. And, of course, there are those wonderful end-of-year celebrations to look forward to, giving us a chance to pause, reflect and celebrate all we’ve achieved.

Every day counts, and every lesson matters. Let’s make the most of every school day, right up until the end of Term 4 🙌🏽.

📸 Have a look through the photos and don’t forget to check out the important Term 4 reminders at the end!

Here’s to a fantastic final term 💛

Term 4 starts tomorrow, but we’re still feeling a little teary as we look back on our Year 12s’ final day of school at the end of Term 3.

It was a special day for our entire school community, and an especially meaningful one for our graduating class, who said goodbye to school with a mix of nostalgia, excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead.

📸 Take a look back at some of the highlights from this memorable day, from heartfelt farewell speeches and a beautiful performance to the celebrations and a final clap-out, with staff and students lining the hallway as they exited the school.

Congratulations to our Year 12 students on reaching this important milestone! We can’t wait to celebrate with you again at Valedictory in a few weeks.

While our graduating class begins an exciting new chapter, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺. We look forward to welcoming everyone back tomorrow for another term of learning, growth and success.

Along the way, they chatted with students and staff about what they were looking forward to and what ‘𝟱𝟬 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝘆’ means to them.

From our whole-school assembly and a visit from inspiring guest speaker 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗨𝗴𝗹𝗲, to quizzes, kangaroo stew and damper, and the much-anticipated NAIDOC Week footy game, it was a busy week celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and achievements.

Despite weeks of editing, there was just too much exciting content to fit into one video! So, keep an eye out for our 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝟯 𝗜𝗻 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 next week for some great photos.

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆: 𝗥 𝗨 𝗢𝗞? 💛

As we look back at moments from last year’s 𝑅 𝑈 𝑂𝐾? 𝐷𝑎𝑦, we’re reminded that the most meaningful part of the day is the opportunity to pause, connect and make time for one another ✨.

Tomorrow, we’ll come together as a school community once again to recognise this important national day of action 🔛 and create more of those moments.

As part of our 𝑅 𝑈 𝑂𝐾? 𝐷𝑎𝑦 activities, students will engage with special guests from wellbeing and mental health organisations, take part in teamwork activities and sport 🏀, enjoy performances, have time to relax and mingle 🙌🏼, and share a sausage sizzle with friends 🌭. There will be plenty of opportunities to step outside the usual routine, meet new people and enjoy a day centred around connection and wellbeing.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗥 𝗨 𝗢𝗞? 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁! 📘
Collect your passport from any agency stall, fill in your full name, then visit the different activities and stalls around the school to collect a signature at each one. The more you explore, the more you’ll discover – and once you’ve completed your passport, you’ll be treated to a free sausage sizzle! So come dressed in yellow 🔆, get involved and make the most of the day.

📚 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝗔𝗧 𝗚𝗜𝗟𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 📚

A colourful collection of characters recently took over Gilmore College for our 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗨𝗽 𝗗𝗮𝘆, as students and staff brought some of their favourite stories and characters to life!

Our science staff transformed into a flock of cheerful ducks 🦆, the arts team became a colourful box of crayons 🖍️, and Sherlock Holmes was spotted investigating the school grounds. Meanwhile, a dinosaur stomped through the library 🦖 and a whip-cracking Indiana Jones led a parade of book characters through the gym!

Luckily, we had the Men in Black stationed at the gates to keep Gangsta Granny, Gru and a few mischievous Minions in check! 😎

Thank you to everyone who dressed up, joined in and helped make the day such a fun celebration of books, characters and reading.
