EDUCATION CHIEF TOURS SITE OF NEW ARTS CAMPUS

Minister for Education, Natalie Hutchins, recently toured the site for the new Victorian Youth Arts precinct in Gasworks Arts Park.

APC principal Steve Cook and Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School principal Hilary Bland guided Ms Hutchins and member for Albert Park, Nina Taylor, around the vacant site (right), which was formerly a depot for a local gas company.

Also in attendance during the tour were senior students from both APC and VCASS.

An increase in construction costs has led to some delays finalising design details. However, a revised tender is expected to be released soon.

Once completed, the precinct will be managed by APC and VCASS.

Join Our Fight For Sustainability

At APC we’re always thinking of new ways to decrease the college's carbon footprint.

This is the job of the Sustainability Subcommittee of the APC school council.

It consists of elected students, teachers, parents and community members, who work together to make this school carbon neutral and, with your help, carbon negative.

Applications for teachers, students, parents and community members for the Sustainability Subcommittee are now open.

RUNNERS GIVE THEIR ALL IN “BRUTAL” WORLD TITLES

The world’s best runners descended on Bathurst in NSW recently for the World Cross Country Championships, and an APC team was part of the action.

The four-girl team – Isla Mithen (Year 10), Poppy Donaldson (Year 9), Freya Mithen (Year 7) and Ruby Donaldson (Year 9) – ran in a 4x2km relay and competed hard, all running fast times.

They gave it their all in what was described as a “brutal” cross country course.

The Power Of The Pedal

On Friday, March 24, APC came to school sustainably.

Ride2School Day is the day where we celebrate our effort in reducing our carbon footprints.,

Students and staff came to school actively and enjoyed some delicious croissants and yogurt cups prepared by the Hospitality Club.

The environment team collected travel statistics from staff and students, which will help encourage sustainable commuting.
