Our Year 10 Humanities classes were given a rare and valuable gift: A personal connection to the history we have been studying. Ms Tanja visited us to share her father’s firsthand recollections of growing up in war-torn Germany after the second world war.
Through her, we heard the stories her dad had passed down about their family history: The challenges, the fears, and the reality of everyday life during such a tumultuous time. We learned how her grandmother was forced to flee their family home in Eastern Prussia (now part of Poland) with her baby (Ms Tanja’s father) in her arms as the Soviet Red Army advanced in the harsh winter of 1945, mere months before the end of the war.
Ms Tanja brought these stories to life with incredible primary sources, including original family photographs, which made the period feel incredibly real and immediate.
We were completely captivated. Her presentation sparked so many insightful questions, moving our understanding beyond the textbook and into the human experience of history. It was a truly memorable and sweet treat that added a profound new layer to our learning.
A big thank you to Ms Tanja from the Year 10 girls, and a special thank you to her father for taking the time to write down his memoirs in such a captivating style, allowing Ms Tanja to share them so beautifully with us.
Our Islamic Storytime sessions for Term 3 wrapped up on Tuesday morning, 2 September 2025, with both our English and Urdu speaking groups.
The children enjoyed a fun-filled morning with their usual program of uplifting nasheeds, engaging stories, and hands-on craft activities. A special highlight was a visit to our College’s farm, where the children excitedly explored and connected with the various farm animals. Special thank you to Br Sharief for facilitating the visit.
Each child received a small gift, a pencil case with pencils to take home in celebration of the last Islamic Storytime session for the term.
We thank all the families for joining us this term and our wonderful facilitators Ms. Hina, Ms. Nabiha and Ms. Siti for making every session memorable. We look forward to welcoming you back in Term 4, inShaAllah.

Our Year 11 Food Studies students joined forces with the Year 12 Business Management cohort for a fascinating excursion to Yakult in South Dandenong.
The visit provided an invaluable opportunity for students to see classroom learning come to life, as they explored how theoretical concepts are applied in real-world contexts. From food production processes to business operations, the tour highlighted practical links between the two subjects.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Yakult tour guides for sharing their expertise and tailoring insights to both Food Studies and Business Management. A special commendation also goes to our students, whose thoughtful questions reflected their curiosity and engagement throughout the day.
