The 2025 academic school year has commenced positively. Some key highlights:

• Staff commenced with Staff Mass and Staff Meetings to set the agenda for the year. New staff were introduced and inducted. All teachers took part in professional learning with the Berry Street Education Model.
• Foundation students commenced their first day of school. This was a very smooth start as they were the only classes on that day at Cedar Campus. Students in Years 1-6 were completing literacy testing.
• Year 7 successfully transitioned to secondary campus and new students joined those from Cedar Campus. A new VCE cohort commenced on this day also.
• The Opening School Mass took place on Monday 10 February, allowing us to celebrate the Feast of St Maroun. The Mass was held in the Mother Isabelle Khoury Stadium with approximately 1000 in attendance. Foundation students did not attend as they are still settling into school for such a big event. Mass was celebrated by Mon. Joe Takchi and Fr Ehab Chamoun. It was attended by special guest: Sr Cynthia Kassis, Honourable Mr Anthony Cianflone Member for Pascoe Vale, ACL Board Members Ms Leila Khattar and Mr Johnny El Halabi as well as the family of the 2024 Dux and Proxime Accessit who were presented with a financial award supported by Ms Carmen Fleyfel and presented on her behalf by her daughter Ms Mariana Haddad.

It was impressive to see all the students fill the Stadium, to see the growth in numbers. But most of all to see the well behaved and well presented students show reverence and respect for the Mass.
