Year 8

2019

Year 10 was the last year before the pressure of VCE really began to kick in and our first year as Senior students. While some of us accelerated a year early, it was a fun year all round.

We started the year in new Pastorals and in the new subjects we had selected. 2019 was the year of travel and camps. We embarked on a 3 day camp to the Summit in Trafalgar, where we completed adrenaline pumping activities. Some of us went on the Timor-Leste Immersion trip, where we spent 11 days learning how our faith connects us to people who live such different lives. Some students went on Snow Camp to Falls Creek or travelled on a trip of a lifetime to Italy.

Towards the end of the year we had our Year 10 Formal. The event was held in the Stella Maris Centre and everyone was decked out in their best outfits

Around the world people planned to storm Area 51. Lil Nas X and Billie Eilish had the biggest songs of the year and Parasite and the Joker picked up at the Oscars.

Year 10

Year 11

2020

Year 11, the start of our VCE/VCAL journey! Who could have expected the crazy year we were in for!? We all started off stressed, nervous and excited for the massive workload about to hit us but we had some friends to enjoy the start of the year with!

Exchange students from Italy graced our presence in February. Despite a blinding start, little did we know that a virus making headlines in Wuhan would soon shut down the State.

Masks, restrictions and the dreaded online learning soon became part of our daily routine. No sport, no Carnivals, no parties and no Retreat! Despite this though, we persisted, and upon returning towards the end of the year had the entire school to ourselves. Blessed (or cursed) with flops like ‘Dance Monkey’ and ‘The Box’ really helped us to develop resilience skills needed to cope through COVID.
