Spirits were high and enthusiasm was strong as the House Captains led out their fellow Year 12s in a sea of purple, blue, green and orange as they chanted loudly. The Ave 100m Sprint was won for the third year running by Year 9 student Chiara Hutchinson, followed closely by Olivia Batey (Year 8) and Georgia Miles (Year 10).
The overall 2021 House Champions were Mary House. Congratulations to all students who participated on the day and to Mary House Captains, Leile Baxter and Tess Marazita for leading their House to victory!
Athletics Carnival
On Friday, 30 April 2021 the sun was shining as the College celebrated our first Athletics Carnival since 2018 at Moonee Valley Athletics Track in Aberfeldie.
Students of all year levels participated in a range of events throughout the day. Whether you’re into track, field or novelty events like the three-legged race, there was something for everybody.
It was a competitive day with record participation and just two points separating 1st and 2nd place. A special mention to Year 11 student Charli Kennedy for winning the 2021 Ave Sprint, followed by Scarlet Colsen (Year 9) and Emily Carter (Year 12). Congratulations to Mary House on winning the Junior and Intermediate sections, to Helene on winning the Senior section. Mary House were the overall House Champions for the second time this year, led by Mary House captains Leile Baxter and Tess Marazita.
Domain Weeks
Throughout 2021, the College has celebrated a variety of Domain Weeks, which focus on a particular area of subjects we offer.
In both online and in-person environments these weeks have included Indonesian fruit taste testing, Photography competitions, Mathematics quizzes and HPE activities to name a few.
These weeks often highlight excellence in that domain or highlight pathways to students with interest in that domain. Above all, these weeks aim to engage the College community as we explore each Domain and celebrate the diversity of our curriculum.
