As Victoria celebrates Education Week under the theme ‘Celebration of Cultures’, GSSC proudly stands as a vibrant example of multiculturalism in action.
Home to a richly diverse student and staff population, GSSC is more than just a school, it’s a reflection of the broader Shepparton community. At GSSC, culture is not just acknowledged, it is embraced, celebrated, and woven into the very fabric of daily learning.
"One of our core values is respect, that is, showing care for ourselves and others and valuing difference,” GSSC Executive Principal Barbara O’Brien said.
“That is something we always try to instil here at GSSC, through our learning and cultural celebrations."
From Harmony Day and NAIDOC Week to Refugee Week and Africa Week, GSSC ensures students have opportunities to explore and share their cultural identities all year round. These celebrations are more than events, they are powerful platforms for learning and connection.
"We take great pride in our rich cultural diversity and are committed to fostering a school environment where respect and inclusion are deeply valued and actively promoted," Ms O'Brien said.
Supporting this vision are GSSC’s dedicated Multicultural Liaison Officers, representing backgrounds including Pasifika, Afghani, Arabic and African communities. Their presence ensures that students and families receive the cultural support they need both in and outside the classroom. Additionally, GSSC’s Koorie Education staff are embedded across all neighbourhoods and at the Nurtja Campus, with the College also providing culturally safe spaces such as a prayer room and yarning circle.
"We instil in our students the importance of embracing each other’s differences, championing racial tolerance, and ensuring cultural safety for all," Ms O'Brien said.
“At GSSC, culture isn’t a one-week conversation. It’s a shared commitment - one we proudly uphold every day.”
This year, in response to industry and business feedback, Careers Day Out was condensed into a dynamic one-day event held at the Shepparton Showgrounds. The day featured an impressive array of workshops, demonstrations, and talks designed to give students meaningful insight into the world of work and local career opportunities.
We were fortunate with perfect weather as over 300 Year 10 and Year 11 VCE-VM students from GSSC were transported to the event. Throughout the day, our students engaged enthusiastically with the activities and showcased commendable behaviour, making their teachers and school community proud.
With over 3000 students in attendance, Careers Day Out once again delivered an inspiring experience. It offered valuable exposure to a wide variety of career pathways, sparking ideas for students' futures. The event also served as a great platform for staff to connect with industry stakeholders, further supporting future planning and student development initiatives.
