🍫 Sweet Learning at It's Best! 📊 Our Year 12 Business Management class had the chance to step out of the classroom and into the real world with a visit to the Yarra Valley Chocolate Factory! 🙌
Students were treated to an insightful talk and tour (and maybe some chocolate...) all about the operations of the business — from production to customer service and everything in between. A deliciously educational experience and a great day had by all! 😄

🛍️ Market Day Magic at Monbulk! 🎉 A huge shoutout to Mr McMurray’s Year 10 MML and Mr Mackney’s Year 11 Business classes for running Monbulk College’s very first Market Day — and what a success it was!
With loads of energy, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit on display, the students raised over $2000 for the Cancer Council. 💛💰 An incredible effort for an important cause!
🎥 Check out the highlights in the video below 👇 📅 And don’t worry if you missed it — the next Market Day is coming late in Term 3. Stay tuned!
🎵 Visualising Trigonometric Functions — with Sound! 🎧📈 A huge thank you to our brilliant Systems Engineering teacher Mr. David Inglese, who brought math to life for the Year 12 Methods class in a truly unique way!
By exploring how complex sounds are built from layers of sine waves — like those created by analog synthesisers — students got a real-time look at what happens when you add trig functions to other equations. 🎶➕📊
From changing amplitudes and periods to seeing the math behind music, this was way beyond textbook learning — and mostly, it was just a whole lot of fun!
⚽️ Senior Boys Soccer | Division Round Robin Recap ⚽️ On Wednesday 23rd April, our Senior Boys Soccer Team took to the field at Monbulk Soccer Grounds for the Division Round Robin — and they delivered a day of determination, skill, and teamwork! 💪
🔥 Match 1: A hard-fought 1-1 draw against Lilydale High, showing real resilience to come back from a goal down. 🔥 Match 2: A dominant 4-0 win over Emerald, with a hat-trick from Cass Hine — great work, Cass! 🔥 Match 3: A must-win against Upper Yarra, and the boys rose to the occasion! After a physical first half, they powered through with a strong second half to claim another 4-0 victory.
With two wins and a draw, the team now progresses to the Eastern Region Finals in Thornbury on July 23rd. Let’s go, Monbulk! 💚⚽️
🎶 First Rehearsal for the Squawkestra! 🎶 Our amazing Junior Band, affectionately known as the Squawkestra, had their first combined rehearsal this week — and what a fantastic start it was!

We can’t wait to hear what they’ll achieve next! 💫

🏃♂️💡 Year 11 PE Takes Learning to the Next Level! 🏋️♀️
During Term 1, our Year 11 Physical Education class visited Yarra Ranges Tech School for a hands-on exploration of the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems! 🏃♀️🫀💪
Students participated in a range of agility tests, collected real-time sensor data, and explored training aids like sprinting parachutes. They also tested their force application, jump height, and hang time using force plates!
After lunch, students completed CPR training with real-time feedback and took a deep dive into the muscular and skeletal system using VR goggles—an incredible immersive experience! 🥽
A huge thank you to Yarra Ranges Tech School for providing such an engaging, high-tech learning opportunity. We can’t wait to analyze our data back in class! 📊
Our VCE VET Music students took a unique approach to sharpening their listening skills—by playing blindfolded! 🎵👀
Without visual cues, they had to focus entirely on listening and locking in with their fellow musicians. The result? Even tighter performances and some seriously impressive sounds! 🎸🥁🎤
Our Year 7 and 9 students had an action-packed incursion towards the end of Term 1 with Proactivity! 💪🎯
They took on a range of exciting team challenges, including the rope maze, mohawk walk, and giant globes, building teamwork, problem-solving skills, and plenty of fun along the way!
Another fantastic day on the court towards the end of Term 1, with both our Year 8 Boys & Girls teams taking out the Division titles and securing their spot in the Eastern Region Finals in Term 4! 🔥🏅
In two intense grand finals, the boys defeated Yarra Hills, while the girls edged out Lilydale—both in thrilling matches!
A huge congratulations to all players, and a massive thank you to our Year 9 students for their outstanding work refereeing and scoring all day. Your support was invaluable!
We are proud to announce that Monbulk College has been awarded the Blue Award for our commitment to School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) in 2024! 🎉
This recognition reflects our dedication to fostering a positive, supportive, and inclusive learning environment where all students can thrive. A huge thank you to our staff, students, and community for embracing these values every day!
Our Year 11 Art Creative Practice students recently visited Burrinja to experience the incredible Women Painting Women exhibition. 🖼️✨
They explored stunning realist paintings created by women, each piece telling a compelling story through technical mastery and powerful representation. This was a fantastic opportunity to engage with diverse perspectives and appreciate the depth and beauty of contemporary portraiture.
A truly inspiring experience for our young artists! 🎭💡
Tomorrow is our annual Cross Country event. This is the perfect way to bring our school community together after a big Term 1. It wouldn’t be a Monbulk College event without a BBQ - so please remember to bring along some 💰💰💰 for a sausage in bread! House colours are a must! 🏃 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️ ... See MoreSee Less
Our Year 9 Food Technology students got hands-on in the kitchen, making their own pizzas from scratch! 🍽️🔥 With a choice of sweet and savoury toppings, they created the perfect lunch—just the way they like it!
Amazing effort, everyone—now we’re all craving pizza! 😍
📸 We are thrilled to share that Monbulk College’s very own Freja Elvesjo-Woolcock has been selected for TOPshots 2025, an annual celebration of emerging photomedia artists! 🎉
But that’s not all—Freja was also shortlisted for the prestigious Top Arts exhibition at NGV with a different body of work! 🎨🔥
A massive congratulations to Freja on these incredible achievements—your talent and dedication are truly inspiring! 🌟

For World Maths Day we were lucky to have Melbourne University facilitate some "mircomathematicians" workshops for our high-achieving mathematics students! It was very cool to see how mathematics can be used in different ways, even in origami!!
On Wednesday the 19th of March, we were lucky enough to have Phoebe from FVREE facilitate an excellent workshop for our Year 12's exploring what healthy relationships look like.
