Every year Aveley SC supports local families in need with a food drive. This year we are continuing our partnership with OzHarvest with the collection of non-perishable in-date food items such as pasta, long life milk and canned foods. Donated items should be take to First Aid before school and can earn our students one house point per item.
Donations will be accepted between Monday 22 November to Monday 6 December.
Extension Maths and Science students in Year 9 visited ECU to investigate engineering as a career. They did activities with robotics and structural materials as well as visiting several specialist engineering areas like the environmental laboratory, structural testing facility and motorsports workshop. Students were also spoken to about the different disciplines within engineering to guide them towards these careers. A very interesting and successful trip!
The students from Mr Hopkins ESH class have enjoyed making furniture this semester. They have used two different types of timber (Meranti and Pine) to make a table. They have learnt several techniques including trenching, joining, shaping and lots of sanding to complete their projects to a very fine standard.
The Year 10 Food Technology students have been experimenting with three different types of dip, Hummus, Baba Ganoush and Tzatziki. The class participated in a survey to determine the best tasting dip and the winner is….. Baba Ganoush!
As part of our student voice initiative students are offered the chance to acknowledge the exceptional efforts and commitment of our staff. We had so many wonderful nominations this Semester that it was very difficult to pick just two staff appreciation nominations to highlight. Ms Keenan is one of our wonderful Mathematics teachers who received some very thoughtful nominations.
“Dear Ms Keenan, you are really kind and you’ve helped almost everyone that has been in your class. You’re an awesome teacher and make everyone smile. I’m very thankful for having you as my math teacher and I’m sure everyone else is thankful as well.”
Our last academies of the year are in full swing with students enjoying some new opportunities such as Origami, Four Square and Circus, along with the ever popular Minecraft, Basketball and Anime academies.

This is an opportunity to help our school be safe. Please help us achieve a high vaccination rate.
Today is World Teacher’s Day and we want to acknowledge our amazing teachers here at ASC. Teachers (with support from parents and carers) have ensured education continues across the country this year, despite major challenges. It’s reinforced the significant role teachers play in the lives of children and students, their families, and communities.
Our student voice nominations, where students thank teachers and a student’s thoughtful initiative were sweet treats for our teachers today. It is wonderful to see our students recognise and appreciate our teaching staffs’ amazing support and commitment to their wellbeing.
The Interschool Athletics Carnival took place on Tuesday 26 October at the State Athletics Centre. The team put on a dominant performance especially in the 100m and relay races. This resulted in ASC winning the G division carnival by over 150 points from the second placed team. This makes it back to back wins in the Interschool Athletics as we progress up to higher divisions. Congratulations to all students involved and a big thank you to the HPE team for their dedication and commitment to the athletics training and carnival.
