Food Drive for the Mount Waverley Community!
Thanks to the school community on both campuses and well done to the Year 12 Leadership Team for organising a hugely successful food drive for the local Mount Waverley Community Information Centre (MWCIS). Located in the community centre just opposite the train station, the MWCIS has provided support to the needy in our local community for many years. It is wonderful to see our community lend a hand to those in need. Big thanks to all who donated!

Interact Club attends Rotary Schools Conference
On 11 August, seven members of the Interact Club – four from the senior campus and three from the junior campus – attended the Southern Region Interact Conference. This event brought together Interact Club members from schools across the region to collaborate and share ideas for improving our clubs. The conference included a series of breakout sessions, where we discussed various projects, communication methods, and leadership strategies used by different clubs. We also heard from a range of guest speakers, including representatives from organisations such as UNHCR and Rotaract, who spoke about future volunteering opportunities available after high school.
Hearing about the other schools projects was inspiring, and we now hope to integrate some of these project ideas into our future initiatives and events. We were particularly interested in hearing about Interact Clubs that raise money by getting involved in swimming carnivals and athletics days, as well as collaborating with other schools to boost fundraising efforts. It was also a great opportunity to build our leadership skills and public speaking abilities by sharing ideas with large groups.
A big thank you to Miss Regev and Miss Douglas for coming along with us on the day!
