Omiros College in Melbourne's Brunswick celebrated the success of their VCE graduates last week in a grand event at the Park Hyatt Melbourne. The ceremony was attended by the proud graduates' family members and community representatives.
Among those present to congratulate the young students was Mr Leonidas Vlahakis, co-chair of Antipodes Festival and an Omiros alumni, who delivered the keynote speech, shared his own experiences after his graduation and encouraged students to continue to use the Greek language in every opportunity in life.
Messages were given by the Consul for Educational Affairs, Mr Vasillios Gogas, who congratulated the graduates for including Greek in their VCE studies, thus enhancing their knowledge of the language and understanding of the Greek culture.
Graduate Marianna Drapaniotis took the stage on behalf of all students ready to take on the world. Speaking in Greek, she shared some very memorable moments of her own journey at the Greek school and thanked teachers for their support and guidance through the years and expressed her own gratitude to her parents for encouraging her to use the Greek language not only at school but also at home.
Marianna was one of the students who received an Award of Excellence, along with her peers Athanasia Outsikas, Zapheria Stamboulidis, Christos Papadopoulos, and Marina Fermanis.
