Tuesday was a special day in the history of the school as we gathered to formally celebrate our 30th Anniversary. It was wonderful to remember what the school was like 30 years ago and to compare those memories to what it is now. While the school has grown and changed over the past 30 years, some things have remained constant. We are, and always have been, a school that nurtures Bright Minds and Kind Hearts.
The original vision for Casey Grammar School (formally Cranbourne Christian Community College) was ‘for a coeducational school from Prep to Year 12 with a policy of open entry and a low-fee structure. The College would aim for excellence, while developing each student’s potential, in an environment of care and concern.’ We are proud to have carried this vision for 30 years and will continue to uphold it into the future.
I am grateful to our special guest speaker, past student Jacqualine Newton (Class of 2003) who shared lots of wonderful memories of her days as a student at Cranbourne Christian College. I am grateful to the many VIPs who came along to help us celebrate this important milestone.
As part of our celebrations, we have introduced a new school tie which has been designed to pair with the blue school blazer. The new school tie is now available at the uniform shop. There will be a transition period for the old tie to phase out. I encourage you to purchase the new tie next time you are in the uniform shop.
