24.01.2022 What a wonderful morning our Year 12s and Staff had last Friday! To celebrate their last day of lessons, the Year 12s were treated to a delicious breakfast, followed by an incredibly special Guard of Honour formed by the rest of the school. The assembly that followed brought tear jerking moments, laughs and memories.... We are so proud of our Year 12s and wish them every blessing as they tackle their final exams.

23.01.2022 Every year at TVCS each Year 12 student is buddied up with a Reception child. The Year 12 buddies regularly visit their little buddies for various activities and soon form a close bond. Reception students love to see their big buddies out in the school yard and stop for a quick high five and a chat. Throughout the year there are several bigger events that they do together like Buddies and Bears and an end of year party. The most special event is the Bible assembly when the Year 12’s present their buddies with a special Bible.

15.01.2022 In Year 12 Psychological Studies the students were asked to create an awareness campaign for R U OK Day and present it to the school in a mode of their choice. One group of four students decided to write their own song called Flowers in the Rain to open up the conversation around mental health. The words are "It’s ok if you fall down sometimes. Flowers need sunshine but they also need the rain.

15.01.2022 Good news! As a school we have raised more than $47,000 to buy Bali Life a bus! This is truly testament to a passionate group of teachers, students and parents who have spent countless hours organising fundraising initiatives and events. Not to mention the generous TVCS community who have made this possible. "...we wanted to raise enough funds so [Bali Life] can buy a bus and use it as a business to generate the income needed to heavily support the Street Centre project", Ste...ve Crocker wrote in an article posted on our website.

15.01.2022 It was our absolute pleasure to host the Honourable John Gardner MP and Dr Richard Harvey MP - Member for Newland today.

And finally, Year 11s confidently expressed how their Research Projects were progressing to the Minister, from ancient animals to wave breaks. What a showcase - we couldn't be more proud!
