QBE Corporate Working Bee & New Fire Refuge at Malmsbury

QBE working bee team at Malmsbury Camp

We were pleased to host our first corporate working bee at Malmsbury recently, with a group from QBE Insurance getting their hands dirty and helping us out on-site.

The team from QBE offices across Victoria came together and assisted with various maintenance and landscaping tasks across the site. Great work all!

If you are interested in choosing Doxa for your teambuilding day or CSR event, please get in touch at info@doxa.org.au.

Staff at our Malmsbury Camp are extremely pleased with the new fire refuge building that will provide much-needed protection during the peak bushfire seasons. It will also provide the team with a new office space and accommodation for visiting teachers, facilitators and staff.

Ball in the Mall gives students a chance to shine

Doxa Bendigo School students participating in the Ball In The Mall

Students from Doxa School Bendigo gathered at Hargreaves Mall in Bendigo recently for the region’s second annual Ball in the Mall. The Ball In The Mall is aimed at making a positive difference to the lives of students, providing them with an experience they wouldn’t normally have, and providing an opportunity for the Bendigo community to come together to support their young people.

VIPs on the night included Mayor Margaret O’Rourke, Councillor Rod Fyffe OAM, our CEO Steve Clifford and Doxa School Bendigo Principal, John Russell. One of the key drivers behind this initiative is Haylee Kennedy from headspace and the event was also supported by The City of Greater Bendigo, Anglicare and Victoria Police among others. It was fantastic to see the smiles on the debutantes’ faces and hear about their personal journeys.

Our Future Focus graduation

St Albans Secondary College students at Future Focus graduation

Our Future Focus program aids the transition from primary to secondary education and encourages young people in Years 7 and 8 to make positive choices for the future.

We launched the pilot in 2016 with generous funding from the Colonial Foundation and were pleased to see it was a great success. We hosted our first graduation event in June this year at the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation at Whitten Oval. It was wonderful to see many of these young people undergo a transformation in their confidence, with many giving speeches on the night, supported by proud parents in the audience. We also held an awards night in November for our Year 7s to celebrate reaching the halfway point of the program – a great achievement.
