VCE educational seminar on migration held at the GCM schools

·

On Wednesday, April 9 — right in the middle of school holidays — the Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) Schools hosted an educational seminar for Year 12 (VCE) students, focused on the theme of migration.

The keynote speaker for the day was Dr. Andonis Piperoglou, Hellenic Senior Lecturer in Global Diasporas, Historical and Philosophical Studies at the University of Melbourne, who shared valuable knowledge and insights with the students.

Through an interactive presentation, Dr. Piperoglou provided a wealth of resources to help students deeply understand the phenomenon of Greek migration to Australia, while encouraging critical thinking and personal reflection based on their own family histories.

Notably, students from Alphington Grammar School and St John’s College also took part in the seminar alongside students from the Greek Community’s schools, as part of a collaborative initiative aimed at strengthening student support networks.

“The gathering of three major schools here today at the Greek Community building is a significant moment for our community,” Maria Bakalidou, Principal of the GCM Schools, said.

“It builds bridges of cooperation, with the shared goal of supporting our students and promoting Greek language education.”

This seminar marks the beginning of a series of joint activities, excursions, and training sessions that have been co-organised to support students across all schools as they prepare for their VCE Greek exams.
