Welcome to the Grange P-12 College Website

			State Schools Relief - Since the Great Depression of the 1930s the State School Relief Fund has provided assistance to Victorian families who face difficulties in keeping children at school, offering practical help such as clothing, footwear and food so children can continue with their education. The Grange supports State School Relief and has made regular donations to help those less fortunate than ourselves. If you would like to join in the fight against poverty here are some ways you can help. Youth Worker - We are applying for funding for a Youth Worker to assist students Years 5 - 9, with funding partially contributed by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. The Youth Worker will be involved in breakfast club, lunchtime activities, camps, excursions, the House system, sport and creating links with the local community. More details here. School Holidays - The College wide book sale is on Monday 30th January at the Deloraine Campus. Hours are from 9am until 7pm, with breaks at midday and 4pm. All students are expected back at school onThursday 2nd February 2012. Awards Night - Our Awards Night was a great success with many students recognised for their outstanding achievements in academic and sporting pursuits, as well we celebrated the fine citizenship of students from across the college. Congratulations to College Dux Natalie Cunningham, P - 12 Student of the Year Austin Mak and Garang Garang and Natalie Cunningham who achieved Study Scores over 40. More details here. College Yearbook Update - The 2011 College Yearbook is next available for pickup from either campus office on the book sale day, Monday 30th January onwards. A reminder that College Yearbooks needed to be pre purchased and is listed as a seperate item on the booklist. Make sure you reserve your 2012 copy now! S chool uniform - A reminder that from the beginning of the new school year all students Preps to 12 are expected to be in the new uniform. The uniform policy can be found here and there are guidelines in the student diary. It is important to know what College requirements are as students will be followed up by teachers if they are not in correct uniform. Angelique den Brinker College Principal
