Greater Shepparton Secondary College proudly acknowledges the remarkable achievements of three of our students, Murtaza, Urijah, and Izaiah, who recently represented Goulburn Valley Boxing Academy at the 2025 Boxing Queensland Golden Gloves Tournament.

Murtaza faced the massive challenge of competing in a 7-man division, taking on three intense fights across three consecutive days. His performance stood out as one of Coach Zedda’s most memorable to date.

“I am so happy for him, and he is such a focused respectful student to train. He is very disciplined and trains 5 times a week” Coach Zedda said.

Meanwhile, fresh off an impressive international trip, Urijah and Izaiah returned to the ring at the Queensland event and both taking home gold. Both students with impressive victories, proving they are in top form as the countdown to the 2025 National Titles begins.

Urijah is also scheduled to fight again in Melbourne on August 10, with efforts underway to secure a match for Murtaza on the same card.

This outstanding tournament performance is a credit to Coach Zedda and the GV Boxing team. Their dedication to training, mentorship, and athlete development continues to build a strong reputation for excellence in the sport.

Congratulations to the boxers, Coach Zedda, and the entire GV Boxing community on this well-earned success.

We are excited to share with you the continuation of our High Ability Program at Year 7 & 9 after the highly successful introduction of this program at GSSC last year.

Following the Victorian curriculum and adopting 21st century learning techniques, this program will allow students to delve deeper into subject areas as they edge towards their senior secondary schooling years.

Year 7 students in the program will be placed in a core class together, which they will continue in through Years 7, 8 and 9. This will provide students an opportunity to learn and grow with like-minded peers and set themselves up for the rigour of senior secondary school. 

Current Year 8 GSSC students who are successful in gaining a place into the program during 2025 will be required to move into a new class for core classes, however they will remain in their current houses.

 

Application process

Entry into the High Ability Program is via:

  • An assessment which mirrors the General Achieve Test and tests student’s critical thinking abilities and capacity to write and;
  • GSSC working in consultation with primary schools and Year 8 teachers to gather a range of data including from NAPLAN and Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT), as well as Semester Reports.
