🎨 Congratulations to the Unit 4 Art Creative Practice students for submitting their folio which included their visual diary and artworks. They’ve worked steadily throughout Unit 4 to create artworks that are personal to themselves. 👏

All the best when sitting your final assessment, the examination. ✨

The artworks will be displayed on Friday 9th of October at the Visual Art and Technology Exhibition. 🎨

💜 Supporting student wellbeing starts with making sure our young people know they are not alone and that help is available when they need it. 🌿✨

As part of Killester’s Wellbeing Week, we hosted a Wellbeing Expo at lunchtime, giving students the opportunity to connect with local services and learn more about the support available to young people in our community.

🤝 We were pleased to welcome representatives from Headspace Dandenong, City of Greater Dandenong Youth and Family Services, and the Noble Park Youth Committee. Students were able to chat with representatives, ask questions and find out more about the programs, services and opportunities available to them. 💬🌟

Thank you to everyone who helped make the Wellbeing Expo a valuable opportunity for our students to connect, learn and feel supported. 💜

🌿 Each September, Christians around the world pause for the Season of Creation - a shared time of prayer, learning and action for our common home. 🌏🙏

🌱 On Monday 7th September, the Green Team organised a school clean up - to care for our common home at Killester College. 💚🧹

Thank you to all of the staff and students who volunteered to take action in this important ecumenical season of the Church. 🙏🌿

This Season of Creation 🍂🌿, students in their RE classes have been exploring the life and spirituality of St Francis of Assisi, and today they brought their learning off the page and onto our walls! 🎨✨

Inspired by Francis's Canticle of Creation, students reflected on Brother Sun ☀️, Sister Water 💧, Mother Earth 🌍, Brother Wind 🌬️, Brother Fire 🔥 and Sister Moon 🌙, considering what they appreciate about each element of creation, and one small, practical way they can care for it this week. 🙏

This year's global Season of Creation theme is Living Water 💦, calling us to immerse ourselves more deeply in caring for our common home. It felt fitting for our students to put "Sister Water" at the heart of their prayers and pledges, echoing that call to step in deeper and work together for the renewal of creation. 🌊🌏

Here are some of our Year 9 students proudly displaying their Canticle of Creation prayers! 📿🖼️

Year 11 VCE Media students have been participating in a hands-on Camera Workshop with Ms Elijah, developing their understanding of the Sony ZV-E10 mirrorless camera.

Students explored the Exposure Triangle (Aperture, ISO and Shutter Speed) and worked collaboratively to experiment with manual camera settings and observe their effects on exposure, depth of field and motion.

The workshop helped students build confidence in manually operating the camera and develop the technical skills required for the practical production requirements of VCE Media.

Lunch with the Winners 2026

On 1 September, 16 of our Year 11 and 12 students had the wonderful opportunity to attend SEBN’s Lunch with the Winners - an inspiring event marking two decades of connection, inspiration and celebration.

The annual event brings together students, industry professionals and community leaders to showcase diverse career pathways and share stories of success, resilience and achievement.

This year’s keynote speaker was Nick Pearce, founder of HoMie, a Melbourne-based streetwear label and social enterprise. Nick shared his inspiring journey of transforming HoMie from a one-month pop-up store into a nationally recognised and award-winning organisation supporting young people experiencing homelessness and hardship.

Our students also had the opportunity to:

Connect with local industry representatives and engage in meaningful career conversations
Hear about a range of career pathways and industries
Participate in an interactive activity and fun quiz
Explore the impact of social enterprise and the importance of creating opportunities for young people

It was fantastic to see our students engaging, asking questions and making connections with industry.

A big thank you to SEBN for continuing to provide opportunities that inspire young people to think broadly about their future and the many pathways available to them.
