From scavenger hunts and staff vs student volleyball matches to anything but a bag day and a teddy bear picnic with students dressing as their younger selves, BELIEVE Week was filled with laughter, nostalgia and memories that will last a lifetime.

It’s bittersweet to see the celebrations come to an end, but there’s still so much to look forward to with Graduation, Walkout and Formal just around the corner!

Today marks the final day of school for the Class of 2026 before they begin their external assessments. As they close this chapter and prepare for everything that lies ahead, we wish them all the very best for everything to come!

We are incredibly proud to celebrate our Varsity Vikings who last weekend were crowned winners of the 2026 CBSQ Jnr Secondary Boys Division 1 Championship!!! The team dominated their final game securing a 98 – 65 victory to bring home the title!

This is a historic achievement for Varsity, marking the first time in the 18 year history of our College’s participation in the competition, that our Vikings have claimed the championship! We know the hard work, dedication, teamwork and countless hours of training that go into reaching this level and we couldn’t be prouder or what you have accomplished!

Congratulations to the entire team, which a special shoutout to their coach Mr Adam Darragh for his outstanding leadership and commitment to the team, helping our Vikings reach this incredible milestone!

Our prep ‘Transition to School’ program continues until week 4!

The sessions are aimed at developing your child’s social, fine and gross motor skills within a fun and engaging environment. Children have the opportunity to meet new friends and feel comfortable within the school setting, leading to a positive transition to school.

We look forward to meeting even more new families over the next 4 Friday's, as new and excited children experience what Prep life is like at Varsity College!
