This morning, our college community gathered for our annual ANZAC Day Service. Together, we paused to remember the courage and sacrifice of the Australian and New Zealand men and women who have served, and continue to serve our nation.

What a fantastic way to kick off Term 2 with our Cross Country event on Wednesday. It was wonderful to see students giving their best and friends and staff cheering them on. Well done to all!

Over the last week, we were delighted to welcome 41 students and 2 teachers from Sangyou Kyoto University High School in Japan for a special week of cultural exchange and shared learning. 

Harmony Day at Staines Memorial College was a beautiful reminder of the diverse and inclusive community we’re blessed to be part of. Students embraced the day with joy, wearing their cultural attire or a splash of orange to show their support.

Mr Scherman’s Year 9 science class took a hands-on approach to learning as students suited up in plastic aprons and safety glasses, ready to explore the intricate structure of the eye. With cow eyes as their specimens, they carefully dissected and examined the different parts, from the cornea to the optic nerve, gaining a deeper understanding of how vision works.

Visiting Mrs Carnio’s Prep class was a delightful experience as we saw young minds hard at work, transforming everyday materials into creative household items.

Each Tuesday afternoon, a dedicated group of Secondary students gathers for Bible Study, led by Mr. de Graaf.

On Wednesday, we held a non-uniform day to support the Year 12 Formal Fundraiser, with the theme “Dress to Impress.” We enjoyed a parade this morning, where everyone had the chance to showcase their creative costumes and outfits including some staff members! It was a great way to start to the day!
