As we move further into December and the holiday season are draws closer, and have now completed the Early Commencement Program. This year, our Year 8 students stepped into their 2026 Year 9 classes, while our Year 9 cohort began their Year 10 programs. The Early Commencement Program provides valuable benefits, supporting a smooth transition into the next year level and giving students a clearer understanding of the learning programs they will undertake in each subject next year.
This was followed by the Year End Program, where students participated in a wide range of activities, including excursions to Gumbuya Park, Melbourne Zoo and Luna Park, as well as several school-based programs.
Thank you to the Middle School Leadership Team for their dedicated work with our students throughout the year. Mrs Asha Vazirani (Head of Middle School) and Ms Jo Rogers (Middle School Leader) have worked closely with our Year Level Coordinators – Mr Adam Wheeler, Mr Tristan Kent, Ms Stephanie Xing and Mr Aayush Khosla – to provide guidance and support to our Middle School students. Thank you also to Ms Karen Box for her ongoing support of staff and students.
As the year draws to a close, we begin looking ahead to 2026 and the opportunities for learning and growth that await. I look forward to welcoming students back to the college as they continue their learning journey at Mount Waverley Secondary College. I wish all families a safe and happy holiday.
