A Visit from the Federal Education Minister
Dickson College was proud to welcome Federal Education Minister Jason Clare, ACT Education Minister Yvette Berry, and Member for Canberra Alicia Payne to our school as part of a national announcement highlighting rising Year 12 graduation rates.
The visit was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the strength of public education and the important role schools like ours play in supporting young people to thrive. It was a positive and affirming moment, reflecting the collective efforts of students, staff, and the broader community in helping more young Australians successfully complete their schooling.

The Secondary and Tertiary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scholarship Ceremony
Congratulations Cooper-Lea and Jindi!
The Secondary and Tertiary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scholarship Programs are ACT Government initiatives aimed at increasing retention and year 12 attainment, increasing the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teachers and increasing the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with tertiary qualifications. I recently had the privilege of attending the ceremony that recognises the recipients of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scholarships for 2025 across the ACT because two of our amazing First Nations students were worthy recipients.
- Congratulations to Ngunnawal/Wiradjuri woman Cooper-Lea Buffett who distinguished herself in the application process with an impressive balance of wellbeing pursuits alongside active community involvement and setting a high bar with her academic performance (as well as holding down a job)!
- Congratulations to Jindima Gilbert-Misko who engages with the arts, pursues cultural knowledge, and is both working towards a Certificate III in Landcare as well as running her own business!
Well done to both of these commendable students. Dickson College is all the richer for dedicated and engaged students like them!
