PRIDE Values Recognition

We are now halfway through term 1 of 2022, and as a learning community we are proud of the way our students have commenced the year. They have demonstrated our school values by Persevering with their learning, Respecting each other and their teachers, showing Integrity in their honest approach to new ways of learning, celebrating Diversity in our school community and showing Excellence in their completion of learning tasks to the best of their ability.
 
We have much to celebrate at Strathmore. As a school we want to recognise and congratulate individual students who are embracing our values on a regular basis. Some of you may have already received some communications that your child is to be congratulated on demonstrating one or more of our school values. 
 
Recognising when our students are achieving and being their best is an important part of our school community, and we like to share these with you.
 
If you receive an email to inform you of your child’s achievements, please join with us in celebrating this positive news.

Congratulations to Koby Bewick of 8N2 who last year was made captain of the 12 years and under Victorian metro AFL team. Due to COVID the national championship could not take place however late last year the Vic metro team was able to play a match against the Vic country team. Koby was also given best on ground for this match.

Koby was recently a recipient of the Cameron Baird medal from School Sport Victoria, in honour of Corporal Cameron Baird VC MG.

The captain of the 12 Years and Under Vic Australian Football Team is awarded with a jumper with the same number that Corporal Cameron Baird wore.

Cameron Stewart Baird, VC, MG was a soldier in the Australian Army who was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest award in the Australian honours system.

VCE Dance - ​Elaina Bianchi

Elaina Bianchi has been selected to perform her VCE Dance skills-based solo in the upcoming VCE Top Class Season of Excellence. She is one of very few 2021 Year 12 Dance students from the state to be granted this opportunity.  

​Elaina is to be commended on her hard work, dedication, and resilience throughout the challenges that 2021 brought. The perseverance she demonstrated resulted in her choregraphing and performing an excellent dance solo.

We are so pleased to be able to celebrate this achievement through her selection to perform at Top Class. 

She will perform on Wednesday the 16th of March at the Recital Centre at 2pm. 

Congratulations Elaina!

Year 7 Burnet & Napier Orientation Camp

The 2022 Burnet & Napier expedition to Camp Wilkin at Anglesea set off this year on the 22nd of February with three buses full of eager (and a few nervous) campers.

The Year 7 students were divided into five marine-themed activity groups and took part in canoeing, high ropes, rock climbing, surfing and mountain biking, accompanied by our Year 10 leaders and a selection of the college’s most fearless, adrenaline-craving teachers.

The activities were ‘challenge by choice’ and it was inspiring to witness many students stepping outside of their comfort zone and conquering some personal fears by trying their hand at new experiences. Many got to hang ten or ‘ride the magic carpet’ for the first time with the Go Ride A Wave surf school, navigate the Anglesea River by boat and bike or conquer their fear of heights. 

The Burnet & Napier teams would like to thank and congratulate all Year 7 students who attended for the manner in which they conducted themselves during our stay in Anglesea, the Year 10 leaders who did a fantastic job assisting students and staff, and the staff below who assisted in making the Orientation Camp a success and a joy.

Thank you:
Mr Daniher, Ms Kersten, Ms Rigden, Ms Standring, Mr Bates, Mr Parham and Ms Trinh.

Getting To and From School

Moonee Valley City Council and Strathmore Secondary College are committed to creating a safe and more sustainable environment for students.  Walking and cycling to school is a great way for your child to start the day, as it stimulates the mind and improves overall health.
 
If you do have to drive, think about...
  • Parking a few streets away and walk into the school
  • Use the pink zones, but adhere to the road rules, do not park -  just drop or pick up and go - you can not stay longer than two minutes or you will be issued with an infringement 
 
When parking near a school...
  • Do not park on or near a school crossing
  • Do not double park and let their child out on the road
  • Do not obstruct a driveway or other way of access for nearby residents 
 
All of these recommendations will help reduce congestion and create a safer environment around your school, not to mention having many more healthier and happier kids that are ready to learn!

PLEASE NOTE - Parents are not to enter the Pascoe Vale Road car park or the rear driveway of the school. Please respect the disabled parking spaces.
