Camping in Lorne to start 2023
At Alia, we always start the year with a school camp. For 2023 we lugged our junk to Lorne, and took over the foreshore caravan park for three nights.
The wonder of Christmas comes early to Alia!
Thank you to Jasper (Yr 12) and their parent Anna for an incredible contribution to Alia history — Jasper and Anna made a gingerbread house based on the Alia College floor plan, and the result was amazing!
Springing Back to Campus at Alia College
We feel like a school again. There are loud conversations in the foyer, laughter, quiet classes, noisy classes, robust conversations and best of all happy eyes (and, we assume, happy faces under the masks!).
Message from the Principal — Bob Morgan
Do what seems to work even if that involves playing games and odd sleeping hours. If you have what it takes, attend the online lessons. That is highly recommended. Join the rest of us stressed individuals.
Parents please take care of yourselves first. You are no value to your kids if you go under.
Please remember that you can always call if you have any concerns or matters to discuss.
Working at Alia is great, but…
The staff at Alia have a diverse range of interests that we only talk about by the water cooler. Here are some of the things people have been getting up to when they aren’t at school.

Term 2 trip to Colac
If you imagine life on a spectrum with lockdown at one end, a camping trip to Alia’s bush property in Colac is as far on the opposite end as you can get without your feet leaving the ground.
French Film Festival and Roule Galette
To wrap up the school term, French students were treated to a couple of excursions. The Senior class enjoyed a film at the French Film Festival, and the Juniors had a meal at Roule Galette on Flinders Lane.
Sunny = Honey
by Hagan (English teacher) The latest honey harvest is in. Maddix (yr 9), Vincent (yr 12) and Amalina (Science teacher) seized on a sunny afternoon to climb up on the carport and make sure the bees don’t run out of space in their hive.
