As we now head into the back end of the year, Year 12 students begin to finish up their high school journey.
Graduation is here, a time that is both bittersweet and beautiful, with one chapter closing and another about to start.
Alphington Grammar School recently held their school graduation, an event that saw students, staff, members of school council and families gather at the Capitol Theatre in Melbourne.
The evening had orchestra performances, musical items from the Greek Band, a combined dance item from Mia Kosmas and the Alphington Chorale followed by Academic, Music, Sport and Service Awards to recognise the achievements of high performing students.
The School Leaders for 2025 were also inducted into their leadership roles and pledged to serve as visible role models across the school.
Principal Dr Vivianne Nikou congratulated the students for a year full of achievements, especially in the school’s 35th milestone year.
According to a media release sent to Neos Kosmos, she reminded students that “central to leading an authentic life is a deep-seated commitment to values such as humility, honesty, integrity and leading a life of purpose.”
Dr Nikou then thanked the Members of Council led by Mr Michael Karamitos for their ongoing commitment to growing a school underpinned by Hellenic values.
Karamitos acknowledged the contribution of past Chairmen of School Council, Dr Dimitri Ktenas, George Fountas, Bill Papastergiadis OAM, Nick Koukouvitakis and Associate Professor Marinis Pirpiris.
Karamitos is a past parent of the school and as current Chair, he has seen its growth in the last ten years.
“How proud we are of the School we have become” he said.
“I am proud and honoured to serve as Chair and will do so with passion and heart as my predecessors have.”
The Year 12 students now go into VCE exam preparations.
