Yesterday was a special day for our Orthodox community as we celebrated the Dormition of the Virgin Mary!
Της Παναγίας!

Our entire school community, students, teachers, parents and management, came together for the church service at Evangelismos Church. Our wonderful teachers then organised beautiful activities dedicated to Panagia in the newly refurbished hall next to the church.

The day concluded with a delicious lunch organised by the Church Committee, who also provided a free lunch and special treats for all GLCI students. A heartfelt thank you to the Committee, and especially its President, Gabriel Kafetzis, for their incredible generosity.

A truly meaningful day of faith, tradition and community spirit!

Οn Saturday we were delighted to host the president and the treasurer of the Oceania Branch of the National Research Foundation “Eleftherios K. Venizelos”, Mr. Antonis Tsourdalakis and Mrs Kristina Kotsifaki. They came to Perth for a weekend of events to commemorate Eleftherios Venizelos, 90 years after his death. The Oceania Branch is organising events all over Australia and the first event in Perth was held at the Greek Language and Culture Institute of Evangelismos. The event was very special for us, because in the recent Australia-wide competition among students on producing a written work or another work of art on Venizelos, our student Loukas Kerr won the joint-second prize among 112 participants. The competition is named in honour of one of the most important Cretans of the past 50 years, Nikolaos Papadakis, who for 25 years was the heart and soul of the Foundation as its General Director. Congratulations to Loukas and to the two other students of our school who made strong entries in the competition.
The event at the school also included the showing of the excellent documentary “For Crete and for Freedom: The path towards the Union”, which has been produced by the Foundation.

Commemorating Eleftherios Venizelos

A very special weekend of events is coming up on Saturday June 13th and Sunday June 14th at our school and in Perth.
In order to honour the legacy of Eleftherios Venizelos - statesman, visionary and architect of Modern Greece - 90 years after his death, the Oceania Branch of the National Research Foundation "Eleftherios K Venizelos" has organised multiple events across Australia.
One of the events was a competition among students who had to create videos with interviews or readings about Venizelos, as well as other works of art inspired by his life. Three of our students took part in the competition and we have been informed that one of our students won joint-second prize in Australia, a fantastic honour for the student and for the school. The winners will be announced tonight in Melbourne and the winner from our school will receive his award on Saturday June 13th, by the President of the Branch Mr Antonis Tsourdalakis, who will visit Perth, in an assembly that we will organise at the school, from 11:30am till 12:30pm. The winning entry by our student will be shown in the assembly.
In the same assembly, we will have the pleasure of showing an extremely interesting documentary about the unification of Crete with Greece, for our students and their parents.
Later on Saturday June 13th, at 6:30pm, there is a Cretan dinner dance at Alexander the Great Hall. Information for reservations can be found here:

On Sunday June 14th there will be a memorial service at St. Nektarios Parish, and at 1pm the documentary for the unification of Crete with Greece will be shown to the general public.

What an incredible day at our GLCI Souvlaki Day! 🇬🇷🌯

The GLCI Parents & Friends Association proudly organised this wonderful community event, bringing people together to celebrate food, friendship, and community spirit.
A sincere thank you to Hon. John Carey MLA, Minister for Planning and Lands; Housing and Works; Health Infrastructure, and Mr Frank Paolino MLA, Member for Mount Lawley, for taking the time to come down and support this fantastic initiative.

A huge thank you also goes to all of our amazing volunteers whose hard work and dedication made the day such a success. Your efforts behind the scenes and throughout the event did not go unnoticed!

We were also thrilled to see members of the North Perth community, who were in the area for olive picking, join us on the day. It was wonderful to see the two communities come together, connect, and share in such a positive and welcoming atmosphere.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the event, together we created a truly memorable and successful day for our community!
