The 2026 Young Originals Exhibition will be on display at Gallery Central, North Metropolitan TAFE from 14 to 25 August 2026.

Congratulations to Year 11 student Zidane Sulemana, who proudly represented Aveley SC at the 2026 WorldSkills Bricklaying Competition held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Having joined Aveley SC earlier this year, Zidane has already impressed with his outstanding attitude, strong work ethic and commitment to developing his skills in the construction industry. These qualities earned him the opportunity to compete alongside seven other Year 11 students from across Perth in this prestigious event.

Competitors were challenged to construct a detailed brick corner structure, complete with a decorative feature, while meeting strict industry standards and time limits. Zidane tackled the challenge with determination, professionalism and attention to detail.

We are incredibly proud of Zidane’s achievement and look forward to seeing where his Building and Construction pathway takes him.

As part of our final NAIDOC Week celebrations, our First Nations students came together this week to create a collaborative artwork that will be presented to our Principal as a lasting reminder of this year’s celebrations.

Students began by researching the meanings behind traditional Noongar symbols before selecting those they felt a personal connection with. Each student then added their chosen symbol to the shared artwork, with every contribution representing identity, belonging, culture and connection. Individually, each symbol tells a unique story. Together, they create a powerful piece that reflects the strength of community and the importance of walking together.

We can’t wait to see the completed artwork and share this meaningful creation with our College community.

Aveley SC proudly officially launched our Bookor Moort Aboriginal Boys Program, welcoming students and their families for a relaxed BBQ and meet-and-greet.

The event was a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the program, build meaningful connections and celebrate the many opportunities, experiences and benefits our students will enjoy throughout the year.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this celebration of culture, community and connection such a memorable and successful occasion.

This morning, we proudly celebrated the achievements of our Year 10 and Year 11 students at our Semester One Awards Assembly.

More than 120 students were recognised for their outstanding efforts across the semester. Awards celebrated not only academic excellence, but also the positive attitude, consistent effort and commitment to learning that reflect our College Mutual Agreements.

Following the assembly, award recipients and their parents/caregivers were invited to enjoy a special morning tea in the Library, providing an opportunity to celebrate these achievements together and acknowledge the hard work and dedication behind each success.

Congratulations to all of our award recipients. We are incredibly proud of your achievements and look forward to seeing your continued success throughout the rest of the year!

As our NAIDOC Week activities continue, our Year 8, 10 and 12 students gathered for a special Assembly celebrating culture, connection and storytelling.

Students from the Bookor Moort and Stars programs shared their learnings and skills from the recent @corroboree_for_life cultural dance workshop, showcasing the powerful stories and traditions woven into each movement.

Through dance, our students brought the wisdom of the old people into the present, sharing culture, history and connection with the wider College community.

Our Year 7, 9 and 11 students will have the opportunity to experience this special Assembly on Thursday as part of our ongoing NAIDOC Week celebrations.

This week, Aveley SC is celebrating NAIDOC Week, acknowledging and celebrating the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. As NAIDOC Week falls during the school holidays, we are taking the opportunity to celebrate together as a College community this week through a range of activities and experiences.

The 2026 National NAIDOC Week theme, “50 Years of Deadly”, recognises 50 years of NAIDOC Week celebrations and honours the strength, resilience and achievements of First Nations communities.

We commenced our celebrations today with a Smoking Ceremony before the start of school, followed by face dot painting and the creation of our Deadly Unity Tree during Lunch 1. These activities provided students with the opportunity to participate, connect and celebrate First Nations culture.

We look forward to sharing our daily NAIDOC Week activities throughout the week as our College community comes together to learn, reflect and celebrate.

On the last day of Term 2, students had the opportunity to explore future study options through university information sessions featuring representatives from all Western Australian universities.

Students interested in learning more about university pathways and life after school attended the information sessions, where they heard short presentations on admissions, courses, campus life and support services, followed by a Q & A session and mini expo where they could speak directly with university representatives and collect course information.

At Aveley SC, we are committed to providing students with the knowledge, guidance and opportunities they need to make informed decisions about their future, supporting our vision of Success for Every Student Every Day.

Towards the end of Term 2, selected Year 10 students took part in a Geography Discovery Day at the Perth Hills Discovery Centre, engaging in hands-on learning focused on conservation and environmental management.

Students participated in a range of activities, including:

• Animal encounters with native wildlife

• Exploring a catchment model and the impacts of pollution on waterways

• Learning about the Western Shield conservation program

• Assessing jarrah forest habitats and considerations for threatened species reintroduction

The excursion provided valuable real-world insight into Australia’s unique environments and the importance of sustainable land and wildlife management.

At the end of Term 2, the Year 7 AFL Specialist students had the opportunity to visit Studio Seven Recovery, where they learned how recovery plays an important role in supporting performance, preventing injury and maintaining overall wellbeing.

Students experienced a range of recovery techniques, including ice baths, the sauna, compression boots, massage therapy and guided mobility exercises using foam rollers, bands and mats.

Providing students with opportunities like these is just one of the many ways our AFL Specialist Program supports their development both on and off the field. Applications for the 2027 Specialist Program close soon!
