Congratulations to the St Albans Secondary College 2025 Western Chances Recipients, who received their Award certificates at The Edge, Federation Square. Western Chances scholarships are awarded to talented and motivated young people in Melbourne’s west. The founding Chair, Terry Bracks honoured the accomplishments of our current scholarship recipients and celebrated the successes of the Alumni and inspirational presenters encouraged the recipients to “go for any opportunities that arise.”
It was a wonderful evening for the students and parents from St Albans Secondary College who attended the event. Many thanks to Mr Myers Nguyen and our Assistant Principal, Ms Janet McKenzie for their support on the night, and sincere gratitude, to all the SASC teachers who have nominated our students over many years.
Finally, thank you to Western Chances and their major sponsor, Transurban for investing in young people. “At Western Chances, young people are at the centre of our world. Their hopes for a better future fuel everything we do.” And behind everything we all do at St Albans Secondary College.
