Message from the Principal MS TANYA HUTTON

Dear Women of Ave,

Welcome to the ninth edition of our Ave Belong publication, formerly known as Women of Ave. Ave Belong aims to highlight inspiring members of the College community from the past and present, sharing the stories of our Alumnae, staff and current students.

In this edition of Ave Belong, I would like to shed some light on the process of our recent School Review which provided a variety of learning experiences and opportunities to further enrich our College. This edition also explores a focus on our Visual Arts and Digital & Design Technology Domains, as we are fortunate enough to hear from three incredible Alumnae sharing an insight into their careers in the Design Industry. All three Alumnae, Christina Spinazzola (Class of 2012) and Chelsea Woodford (Class of 2013) and Marissa Buttigieg (Class of 2017), across varying graduating years speak fondly of their time at the College that led them to their passions. We also hear from our Alumnae Entrepreneur Angelique Woodburn (Class of 2002) who has ventured into the world of self-made business. This edition also includes a recap of our second annual Ave Alumnae Panel as a part of our Careers Week Program. This panel allowed our Year 10, 11 and 12 students to hear the diverse and interesting journeys from past students in a variety of industry fields.

Finally, in this edition we are very proud to profile two of our College staff, Ms Julia White (Domain Leader – Humanities) and Ms Claudia Filippone (Visual Arts Teacher) and reflect on our sporting carnivals, Mission Action Day and various programs underway at the College in 2022.

I do hope you appreciate this edition of Ave Belong and may we continue to strive for truth through love.

Yours Faithfully, Tanya
