About our College

Based on Address at the Awards Assembly–2019

Welcome to our Awards Assembly at which we celebrate Academic Excellence. You may know that, our HSC Class of 2018 achieved outstanding results. Today we honour the Dux and University Scholarship winners of 2018, together with the academic achievements of our students Years 3 to Year 12 in 2019.

Beyond academics we have pleasing results in the Fine and Performing Arts. Every year NESA nominates outstanding HSC students across New South Wales to showcase for best works. This year, seven St Spyridon College students have been nominated. Congratulations to them and their amazing teachers.

The 2019 Senior School Showcase was astonishing in its array of talent- in Music and Drama, in both English and Greek. Congratulations to all students and their teachers. A Junior School cast of some 350 students took an audience of over 800 people on a multicultural journey Around the World in 80 minutes-or thereabouts. Congratulations to our Junior School students and Teachers for such a spectacular production.

In Debating, our HICES Open Team remained undefeated, and won the

2019 Chapman Cup

Championship. We thank the Debating teachers, and congratulate our students.

As many of you know, the College holds a special assembly to celebrate achievement in Sports. Congratulations to all students who received honours at that event. Our success in Sports is testimony to our Teachers’ hard work-during weekends, before and after school, in all weathers and across huge distances. Thank you Sports Coordinators for your passion and outstanding leadership. We farewell our College Sports Captains Christina Vlahos and Spiros Zafiropoulos. We thank you for the inspiration you provided to the school.

Our teachers do excellent work here. They are also leaders in education in New South Wales. They provide professional development to teachers in other schools. They are HSC markers, advisors, syllabus developers, researchers, curriculum reviewers. We congratulate Mr Kollias, who was appointed Senior Judge for HSC Extension 2 Mathematics.

We have such an amazing school. We have 520 amazing families who support the excellent work of our teachers. Our parents believe in the school. They believe in God, they love their Church. Thank you dear parents. You are our strongest allies and our most effective ambassadors.

The P & F Committee with the leadership of our President Mrs Angela Kasmas has had a spectacular year. Thank you for your commitment, and building a culture of belonging for all our parents. The P&F 2019 has raised a total of $85,000. This will be used towards the purchase of computers, for playground equipment for our new Infants School and to Sponsor the College Sports programs. Congratulations P&F and everyone that stands by the P&F at all functions and events.
