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.

For the first time in a long time, Alia College was able to run two in person events, Trivia Night and Arts Night. Trivia Night Trivia Night is a free event, that gives the opportunity for the Alia community to come together for a fun night. This year, Trivia Night was held on the front […]
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.

We may be in lockdown, but we still have to eat!
