2020 Awards

As the 2020 school year comes to an end, we look back at how different and difficult it has been. Students, of all age, attended school/University at home. Victorian students spent most of the year at home.
It has been a lot quieter at the Editor’s Desk as well. We have missed not having an Awards Night, and not getting to meet our talented Award Winners.
Best wishes for 2021, as you continue on your journeys at school, or out into the workforce and beyond.

Managing Editor
