Greater Shepparton is home to many different cultures and a vibrant display of this diversity was on parade around the campus as students and teachers wore traditional dress from their many mixed backgrounds as they performed and took part in a cultural fashion parade.

Proud Samoan student, Sharon Simaika represents the Pacific Islander group which this year included performances honouring the Samoan, Tongan and Maori peoples and bought the show to an exciting finale with the haka.

“Today is just embracing what our ancestors went through. It shows the strength and dedication and how far they’ve come to get us here from overseas. To showcase our culture today and just letting us be proud of who we are and where we come from and to show the diversity in our school,” said Sharon.

Along with the Pacific Islanders, there were performances by students representing their Afghani/Hazaragi, Punjabi, Malaysian, First Nations, Burundi, Congolese, Gujarati and Albanian students. Teachers also joined

AFTER 10 years of financial planning, leaping into education was a bold move for mother of two Hannah Arnold, but one that was worth the risk as she comes to the end of her studies and embarks on her new career with Shepparton ACE Secondary College in term three of the school year.

“I wanted to work with kids.

I've always wanted to do that but I'd been working in financial planning for about 10 years, and it felt like the right time to change direction, so I went back to university,” said Hannah.

After completing placements at other schools, Hannah found her home at ACE Secondary College.

Putting a spotlight on STEM At Greater Shepparton Secondary College, the opportunities to pursue a pathway in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) have never been better.

From state-of-the art facilities, to a large selection of subjects and extra-curricular activities, our students are exploring the endless possibilities of STEM like never before.

Maddie is one of our Year 12 STEM superstars, currently studying Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, Specialist Mathematics and Maths Methods.

Looking towards undertaking a Bachelor of Science with the University of Melbourne next year, Maddie is hoping to pursue a career in the medical science field.

“There have been so many opportunities available to me at

GSSC from attending university science programs, to assistance from the school in attending the National Youth Science Forum in Brisbane earlier this year,” Maddie said.

“I’ve been interested in science since primary school so it’s been great to be able to have so much subject choice here and access to the best facilities.”

Greater Leadership Opportunities at GSSC Student voice is key at GSSC so this year we have introduced even more leadership opportunities at the College. For the first time, we have appointed a student leader at our Nurtja campus.

Our inaugural Middle School House Captains will also provide student voice and agency for our junior students in Years 7 to 9, while building leadership capacity in our middle years students as they edge closer to their senior years.

“Our belief is that learning should be both challenging and fun. We want to achieve excellent educational outcomes while sparking passion and curiosity in students that will last them a lifetime.”

The school’s design ensures that the knowledge and skills of every student are identified and extended through straight-year levels and small class sizes.

High-quality, evidence-based group instruction is supplemented with daily small group and individualised instruction to elevate the performance of all.

“Literacy and Numeracy are at the core of our curriculum program and rightly so, but we aim to go much deeper

NEW SCHOOL VISION... All Saints Anglican School has settled into their first year with students. Principal, Jim Laussen is excited to see the vision become a reality and looks forward to building a school the community can be proud of. Photo: Emma Harrop

All Saints equipping young minds SHEPPARTON’S All Saints Anglican School has found its routine in the second term of its first school year, with the Prep to Year 7 students embarking on their educational journey with the new school.

“It was exciting to see our vision become a reality. Our families put an enormous amount of faith in the fact that this school would open.

They were taking a huge risk in many respects with their children's education, but they had faith. My staff had faith when they left other jobs to come here that we would be open and ready for education,” said principal, Jim Laussen.

With that first bridge crossed, All

Saints’ focus is firmly on providing a high-quality, caring Christian education for the 230 students currently enrolled, as they look to grow in the coming years.

Their motto, ‘Equipped to Serve,’ is a testament to the value the school places in raising leaders who are engaged in building better communities.

“When our children graduate from here, we hope that they take with them the desire to serve their community,” said principal Laussen.
