I love being part of something as meaningful as the environmental collective. It's really exciting when you consider the great potential that we as a group and school community can have in improving the College's environmental awareness and sustainability. Mikaela - Year 9 

Congratulations to Nilay Yalcin who, having just completed the third year of a Bio- Medicine degree at the University of Melbourne, has been accepted to do Medicine at Monash University commencing this year. Nilay, who was the 2005 Brunswick Secondary College Dux, has always wanted to be a Doctor. We wish her well and are proud of her success.

 I loved doing my Work Experience in Child Care. The  kids were great and it was fun to watch them at that stage of life, they have a great imagination and can have fun with something simple. Emma - Year 10   

In circus we are learning how to juggle and how to be confident in front of people. We have only had a few lessons so far. Our teacher Mr Hall is really nice. Next we will learn to tumble and do flips. I'm very excited. Ella, Year 7

In 2008 I was part of the Bushwhacked class. We learnt lots of different skills, including rock climbing, swimming, orienteering and much more. I completed a season of Netball training. I also went with three of my friends to work at St Vincent’s Hospital for three months.  Alinta , Year 10  

After the Black Saturday Bushfires, the Brunswick Secondary College felt the need to help the schools nearest to us. We had a Black Clothes Day where students donated a gold coin or more to the cause. We raised over $7,000. This was a great achievement that brought pride to our school community. Annalivia - Year 11

I chose to do Work Experience in the area of Criminal Law. I worked with a barrister studying criminal law at a law firm. He let me analyse some cases. I also visited the Magistrates Court, the County Court, Appeals Court, Supeme Court and the Supreme Court library. This experience has made me eager work in Law in the future.   John - Year 10  

For Work Experience I was fortunate to be placed at Penguin Publishers. I did things like photocopying, writing press releases, doing mail-outs to Radio stations and magazines, sorting through reviews and replenishing store stocks. I learnt about the publishing system and being a sales rep. I had heaps of fun. Savanna- Year 10

I was surprised and elated when I heard that I had won a Swannie Award. These awards are given to the best speaker from each grade in debating. At Brunswick we are given really fanatastic debating opportunities including workshops and competitions. Debating has helped me become more confident in speaking to large groups and with essays, presentations and my general approach to studying and thinking about issues.  Holly, Year 10  

The Italy trip last year was really good. It showed me how to cope without my parents help and be more self sufficient. I enjoyed all the day trips, all the amazing places we stayed, and also learning about another culture.  I was lucky enough to be able to extend the trip by staying with family members at the end.  Rocco,Year 10

As part of the ALP (Applied Learning Program), my English class had to complete a project on student directed learning. I chose to do my project on landscaping. I was excited to learn more about this topic, the techniquest that are used and the processes for creating garden designs. I designed a garden for my teacher, Alison Sanza. It was good fun to use Google Sketch to create the garden.Ismail Year 10 

I got chosen to coach for the Year 7 Soccer team. The boys had big expectations of me but I soon eased into the role. On Sports Day I was nervous but also excited. I was thrilled my team got into the final which we won with an exciting goal with only two minutes to go. We all sang the Melbourne Victory chant at the end. Josh- Year 8 

Competing in the Internatiional Maths Olympiad  in Germany was a great honour. The highlights were winning a Gold Medal , meeting former IMO Gold Medallist and Fields Medal holder, Australian Terry Tao, and training beforehand with the British team in Cambridge.Andrew Elvey-Price, Year 12 

Over the past five years at Brunswick SC, we have seen the school grow and develop into a great place. We are proud to be part of a team working hard to improve Brunswick and look forward to representing our fellow students and working closely with the school leadership and staff.  Leah Cox &  Tom Campion, 2009 School Captains
