2026 College Theme Poster Winner

Our College was delighted to present Kara Ong from 4C, winner of the 2026 College Theme Poster Competition, with a framed copy of her winning artwork during our Pentecost Assembly earlier this term.

We would like to sincerely thank every student who participated in the College Theme Poster Competition, submitting a wonderful range of creative and inspiring designs. We were encouraged by the effort, imagination and thoughtfulness evident in each entry, making the judging process no easy task.

Every submission reflected the unique gifts and creativity of our students. We are also pleased to recognise several highly commended entries that particularly impressed the judges with their artistic excellence and thoughtful interpretation of this year's College theme.

Congratulations to Kara and to all of our participants for their outstanding efforts!

Year 3 Art Excursion to the McClelland Sculpture Park

The Year 3s spent the day at McClelland Sculpture Park exploring art in God's creation. During the bus journey, students used their booklets to spot the various sculptures dotted along the freeway, and they became very excited about this activity!

Once we arrived, the students participated in a guided tour with an artist, learning about art processes and meaning. The students showed kindness and respect to the gallery staff. There was also a tour with me, where we explored God's perspective on various artworks. During our discussion time, the students shared insightful and profound thoughts.

The second part of the day included playing inside the sculptures and completing observational drawing activities. I am very grateful to the Lord for the opportunity to share art with the students, especially in such good weather. I am also thankful to the Year 3 teachers who supported this big day.

Secondary Art

Our Year 10–12 students have been out and about in Melbourne, exploring galleries and visiting Top Arts, which showcases standout artworks from last year’s VCE students. 

The Art Captain, Hannah, also ran an engaging lunchtime activity for Years 7 and 8, where students created mini magnets inspired by pop art.

Be sure to take a look at the new exhibition in the gallery space near the Digital Tech rooms.
