Community Events

Working Together to Succeed is our motto!

We enjoy a range of different community events throughout the year.

ANZAC DAY 25th April (annually)

We start the day with the Narrawong Dawn Service, then head into Portland for the Community March.

Our student leaders are responsible for elements of both events.

Lest we forget.

Upwelling Festival November (annually)

A celebration of the natural wonders brought to the town of Portland by the Bonney Upwelling.

The Bonney Upwelling is the epic natural ocean occurrence that powers a 7 month ( November – May ) feeding frenzy of marine animals, supporting an incredibly rich ecological food web. The Upwelling is at its greatest  off the coast of Portland and is the corner stone of our lucrative fishing and tourism industries.

Presented by the Upwelling Festival Committee Inc. The Upwelling Festival is a free one day event that brings the community and visitors together to celebrate what is unique about our beautiful coastal environment in Portland Victoria. https://www.visitportland.com.au/listings/upwelling-festival/ 

 

3 Bays Marathon

The Portland 3 Bays Running Festival is an annual event that includes a marathon, half marathon, quarter marathon and a 60km trail ultra marathon.

The 60km ultramarathon is a spectacular coastal trail run along the Great South West Walk. It is almost all single track with some beach sections.

The marathon is the event's oldest and most prestigious event and is one of the oldest road marathons in Victoria. The half marathon follows the second half of the marathon course and the quarter marathon was first held in 2017.

In 2024 we entered a school team and had a great day! We're super proud of the whole team (and special mention to our drivers, Kathleen, Kara and Tara).
