Sunshine College wins TWICE !!

   I am very proud to inform you that the college maths teachers have been rightly recognised by the Department of Education & Training at its annual Victorian Education Excellence Awards ceremony held at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne on Friday October 30^th.
  The Deputy Premier and Minster for Education the Hon. James Merlino presented representatives of the Sunshine College Maths Team with the Award for Outstanding School Advancement in recognition of the tremendous amount of work they have done in developing and delivering the maths program that we run here at Sunshine College. Our program’s results and innovative practices has led to numerous visits to our school from teachers across Australia and internationally.
  The professional work of our teachers has been responsible for improving the mathematical skill of our students to the extent to which our NAPLAN results are the envy of many schools and is leading to more and more students going onto tertiary studies at places like Melbourne University.
  All category winners on the night were then eligible to win the very prestigious 2015 Lindsay Thompson Award for Excellence in Education, which we won as well.
Winning this award is a huge honour for the school.

Both awards recognise the enormous amount of work our maths teachers have all done over the last 6 years.
 I am sure that you will all join with me in congratulating the efforts of our teachers and on your behalf I wish to personally thank all the maths staff for what they have achieved together and the outcomes they have attained for our students at Sunshine College.
 We are a great school, always striving to become better and I am asking you to make sure you spread this news of our great achievement with friends and family.
I hope you are as proud of this recognition as I am.
