BULLYING NO WAY || Choose Kindness 💜

This week, Montague School recognises Bullying No Way: National Week of Action (17–21 August 2026).

At Montague School, we believe that small acts have big impacts and that bullying has no place in our school community. A kind word, checking in with someone, including others, speaking up or asking for help can make a meaningful difference.

Imagine what we can achieve when we all commit to looking out for one another, speaking up when things go wrong and making kindness the norm. Together, we create a school community where everyone feels safe, valued, welcome and respected.

What small act could you take today to make a difference for someone else?

KICKING GOALS || Playing for the Williamstown Seagulls FIDA Football Club at Fearon Oval, Liam had plenty to celebrate, including kicking a goal for his team! But the celebrations didn’t stop there. Liam was also awarded the Next Ability Academy Medal for “Most Potential”, a wonderful recognition of his efforts, ability and potential on the football field.

At Montague School, we love celebrating our students' achievements, interests, and passions beyond the classroom. We are incredibly proud of you, Liam. Congratulations on a fantastic achievement! 💙🏉🏅

CAREER PATHWAYS || At Montague School, we are committed to helping every student discover their strengths, explore future possibilities and make informed decisions about life beyond school.

Recently, our students met individually with Roger, a trained Morrisby Consultant from the Australian Centre for Career Education (ACCE), to unpack the results of their Morrisby career profiles. Featured here is Noah, who engaged thoughtfully in his individual career conversation. Students also received their own personalised career profile booklet and will continue to have access to the Morrisby platform as they explore their education, training and employment options in the years ahead.

Experiences like these empower our students to better understand themselves, build confidence in their choices and take meaningful steps towards their future.

PRINCIPALS' DAY || Today, Montague School recognised Principals' Day, a special opportunity to celebrate the leadership, dedication and commitment of principals across Victorian Government Schools.

A heartfelt thank you to Kelly, who presented Sarah with a beautiful card and cake on behalf of our school community. It was a thoughtful gesture that reflects the kindness, appreciation and respect that make Montague such a special place.

In accepting the card, Sarah took the opportunity to thank our students and staff, sharing that being part of the Montague School community is the greatest privilege of her career. She expressed her gratitude for the warmth, support and sense of belonging she experiences every day and thanked everyone for making Montague such a special place.

CITY EXPLORERS || The National Gallery of Victoria

Today, our students travelled by tram into the heart of Melbourne for an exciting morning of exploration and discovery. As they journeyed through the city, a highlight of the excursion was visiting the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), where they explored the Gallery's collections. The visit provided a wonderful opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world experiences while encouraging curiosity about art, culture and the built environment.

At Montague School, we value authentic learning experiences that help our students connect with their local community and discover the world around them.

WORKPLACE READY || Preparing our students for life beyond school is an important part of learning at Montague School.

Recently, we welcomed Rhys Foran from the Young Workers Centre to speak with our students about Their Rights at Work. The informative session explored important topics including pay rates, workplace safety, payslips and superannuation, helping students develop the knowledge and confidence they need as they begin their employment journey.

Students also learned about the support available through the Young Workers Centre, ensuring they know where to seek advice and assistance in the future.

A sincere thank you to Rhys and the Young Workers Centre for sharing their expertise and helping empower our students with practical knowledge that will support them well beyond the classroom.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING IN ACTION || Visual Arts

At Montague School, our Certificate II in Visual Arts provides students with opportunities to explore their creativity while developing practical artistic skills through hands-on learning experiences.

This week, students have been exploring the art of printmaking. Featured here are Dhruv and Noah, who enthusiastically embraced the printmaking process, exploring different materials and techniques to create their own unique artworks. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they experimented, refined their ideas and expressed their creativity.

It is fantastic to see our students undertake authentic learning experiences like these, which empower them to discover their strengths and develop new skills. Well done, Dhruv and Noah; we can't wait to see what you create next!

GROWING FOR THE FUTURE || Small hands. Big impact.

Our students enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at Lagoon Reserve with the team from Port Phillip EcoCentre, taking part in activities focused on sustainability and caring for our natural environment.

Students had the opportunity to plant trees, learn about local ecosystems and explore how small actions can make a meaningful difference to our environment. At Montague School, we value providing authentic experiences that connect students with their local community while inspiring them to become active and responsible citizens.

A big thank you to the team at Port Phillip EcoCentre for creating such an engaging and meaningful learning experience for our students.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING IN ACTION || Sport Coaching

Our onsite Certificate II in Sport Coaching gives students the opportunity to develop leadership, communication and coaching skills through authentic, hands-on experiences.

This week, students came together to participate in a special version of 3-2-1 Shoot, designed and led by one of our VET Sport Coaching students, Mewand. Mewand applied his learning by creating an engaging game, explaining the rules, organising participants and leading the activity with confidence and enthusiasm.

It was fantastic to see students actively participating and having fun, while Mewand demonstrated the skills of an emerging coach. Congratulations, Mewand, on your creativity and leadership, we can't wait to see what you create next!
