Midnight: The Cinderella Musical was this year’s highly anticipated secondary school production, brought to life by the talented students of the Endeavour Hills Campus. This fresh take on the classic tale proved to be a memorable experience for audiences of all ages.

Our students celebrated National Simultaneous Storytime with an engaging story and creative activities, fostering a love of reading. Each year, an Australian picture book is read simultaneously across various venues nationwide. The 2025 book was 'The Truck Cat'.

Recently, the Joeys were treated to exciting visits from Wild Action — a mobile zoo that brought Australia’s incredible wildlife right into our learning spaces. The children had the opportunity to meet, touch, and learn about a variety of native animals, from reptiles and birds to mammals and marsupials.

We met Stompy the Lizard, Terry the Turtle, Casper the Friendly Python and even Crunch the Baby Crocodile, who amazed us with his 66 sharp teeth and underwater vision. The children were fascinated by Blossom the Flying Fox, Kermit the Green Tree Frog, and Arthur the Wombat, with his unique cube-shaped droppings. Each animal encounter sparked curiosity, laughter, and wonder.

The visit was more than just fun — it was a rich educational experience. The Joeys learned about animal habitats, diets, unique features, and the importance of caring for God’s creation. It reminded us of the beautiful diversity in nature and that, as it says in Genesis 1:25, “God made the wild animals according to their kinds... and God saw that it was good.”

We are so grateful for this hands-on learning and the chance to reflect on the wonders of creation.

Our Year 3 and 4 students have been modeling and building clay monsters, now drying in the kiln room for their first firing.

Our Prep to Year 6 students were treated to a beautiful performance featuring traditional Chinese instruments, offering a rich sensory experience and a glimpse into China’s musical heritage. Our Year 5 and 6 students also engaged in hands-on cultural activities, including fan dyeing, drumming, and calligraphy painting. These interactive sessions allowed students to explore the depth and beauty of Chinese art and traditions in a meaningful and memorable way.

The Junior Awards Assembly celebrated the achievements and efforts of our younger students across a range of disciplines. Students were recognised for their commitment, creativity and improvement. The assembly fostered a sense of pride and community as parents and family members attended, inspiring all to continue to do my utmost for his glory.

Grateful for the freedom of speech, our Junior and Senior Secondary Teams participated in the CSEN Public Speaking Competition held at St Andrew’s Christian College. After weeks of preparation, they competed against students from various schools, delivering both prepared and impromptu speeches. The clarity and creativity of their speeches impressed the judges. They achieved second place in the Junior Division and first place in the Senior Division, showcasing their dedication to public speaking. Congratulations to all the team members listed below: 

Our Year 9 students took on their first big challenge this term - a hike through the beautiful but demanding Lerderderg Gorge. The climb tested their endurance, but it also brought out the best in them. Students showed great perseverance and encouraged one another throughout the journey. Despite the cold weather, we were thankful for clear skies and no rain. We are excited for the next Rite Journey Challenge in Term 3 - this time, an indoor challenge.

Our Year 10 students recently attended the VCE and Careers Expo, where they gained valuable insights into subject selection, career pathways, and further education opportunities. The event brought together a diverse range of universities, TAFEs, training providers, and industry professionals, offering students a unique opportunity to explore their interests and ask meaningful questions. It was an inspiring and informative experience that empowered students to make confident, informed decisions as they begin considering their post-school journey.

In a hands-on cooking session, our Year 10 students rolled up their sleeves to make traditional Chinese wontons from scratch. Beyond mastering kitchen skills, they explored the cultural significance of this beloved dish, gaining a deeper appreciation for Chinese traditions. This fun and flavourful activity brought language and culture to life.

Year 11 Physics students visited Le Mans Entertainment in Dandenong for go karting, exploring concepts like acceleration, velocity, inertia, and centripetal force. For some, it was their first time driving a go kart, enhancing the experience. They enjoyed applying classroom theory to the racetrack's dynamic environment.

On Friday, 6th June, Year 12 students celebrated their Formal with fun, photos, dancing, and lasting memories. Students arrived dressed to impress and enjoyed an evening of celebration marking a key milestone. Aren performed a new song that had everyone dancing, while Sophia shared a beautiful artwork symbolising the students' journey this year. The event served as a moment to reflect on their progress and express gratitude. Thank you to all staff and the Year 12 committee for their efforts in organising this memorable celebration for the Class of 2025.
