News from Geelong Lutheran College

Ten Years Gone in the Blink of an Eye

On Friday 1 November, Geelong Lutheran College held its Connect alumni event in the Ngarrwa building at its Armstrong Creek Campus. Making use of the College’s newest building wasn’t the only new feature of the annual event – the evening also included celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the first ever Year 12 graduates from GLC!

It was fantastic to welcome four of the ten graduates back to GLC for this evening, where they caught up with some of their former teachers, heard a video message from Mrs Tattersall, cut a special anniversary cake and undertook a tour of the campus with Ms Ellis, where they saw just how much has changed since they last left our gates in 2014. School Co-Captain from 2014 Erin also gave a fantastic speech, where she shared memories of her and her fellow classmates time at GLC.

While there was a lot of attention on the Class of 2014, this event was also open to alumni from both campuses from all years, as well as former staff. It was great to have so many year levels represented, including a strong turnout from the GLC Armstrong Creek Class of 2023.

Thank you to all alumni, current and former staff who attended. GLC is looking forward to welcoming back its alumni community for next year’s event in late October/early November where the College will celebrate the Class of 2015’s 10-year anniversary.

Showcasing Student Creativity

Family and friends were able to see the tremendous creative works of Geelong Lutheran College students at this Term’s Arts Spectacular at the St John’s Newtown campus and Arts & Technology Showcase at the Armstrong Creek campus.

The St John’s Newtown hall was transformed into a colourful gallery, with student work from across the whole year and from every class on show. The displays showcased students’ skills across a variety of genres and art mediums.

Over the course of the afternoon and evening at Armstrong Creek, students and families were able to watch a series of Music and Drama performances, view student-made films, taste some cupcakes made by Year 7 Food Tech students, fly drones, and marvel at the artworks, products and gadgets created by the campus’ Primary and Secondary students.
