Aetolian College’s Malvern East campus farewell school year with concert

·

On Friday, December 9, the Malvern East Campus of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia “Aetolian College” organised a concert to farewell the school year 2022.

The celebration was opened with a prayer conducted by the Reverend Father George Adamakis, followed by the students singing the National Anthems of Greece and Australia.

The first part of the concert was dedicated to the students’ grandparents. With the guidance of the teaching staff, the students had prepared poems, plays and songs dedicated to their idol heroes, their grandparents, showing their love and appreciation for them. 

The second part of the concert had a Christmas theme. The students presented a funny play called “Santa Claus follows a diet.” They also sang Greek songs and Christmas carols from different parts of Greece. 

The Year 12 students of VCE did a presentation and shared their experiences from the Greek school. They also thanked all the teachers and their families for the support they offered them during the twelve years they attended the Greek school.

The concert ended with the students of all classes presenting different dances from all over Greece.

The Coordinator of the Malvern East Campus, Kostas Dimaras, welcomed all those present with a warm greeting.  

Mr Dimaras thanked the families of the students who support the teaching of the Greek language, stressing that we have a heritage that we must take advantage of.

Mr Dimaras also told students they are heroes who continue to learn the language of their ancestors but also true ambassadors of Greek culture in the diaspora.

The Board of the Greek College of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia “Aetolian College” was represented by Natasha Spanos, who was very impressed by all the presentations. 

Mrs Spanos thanked Mr Dimaras and all the teaching staff for the perfect organisation of the end of year school concert. She also addressed the families of the students, stressing that the Greek language needs their help to be able to be preserved in future generations.
