2026 Founders' Day Service
Founders' Day
Founders' Day is a special occasion in the life of Overnewton, where we come together to honour our founding families and the spirit of community that has shaped our College.
Students from Years 5 to 12 will gather at St Paul’s Cathedral in Melbourne for a formal Anglican service. There will be two services held on the day:
Morning Service: 10:00 to 11:00am for students in Years 5 - 8
Afternoon Service: 1:00 to 2:00pm for students in Years 9 - 12
These services provide an opportunity to reflect on our shared history, celebrate our faith and give thanks for the vision and commitment of those who helped establish Overnewton.
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Marin Balluk people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which Overnewton Anglican Community College stands. We respect the knowledge that will be forever embedded within the Aboriginal Custodianship of Country and remember the loss of cultures, languages and Lands they have endured. Like the Marin Balluk people, we at Overnewton want to respect the Land, the cultures and the heritages, and learn from those who have come before us in the passing on of knowledge and the teaching of life skills, as well as continue with wise stewardship of our buildings and grounds. We honour their custodianship of this Land and offer them our deep respect.
