The students of Nestoras College Melbourne present the “Flags of Freedom” in honour of the heroes of the 1821 Greek War of Independence. Their school project was to select and make a flag of the 1821 Greek War of Independence from the collection displayed at the old parliament (now museum), in Athens. Long live Greece! Long live freedom!
For over 50 years, the vision of Nestoras College is to provide a nurturing environment for students to embrace their Greek language, identity and conscience through the richness of Greek history and culture.
The successful story of Nestoras College began when the school was founded in 1975 by two experienced teachers from Greece who set forth a goal for the maintenance and preservation of Greek language and culture in Australia. Since then, the school has grown significantly and is now providing the tuition of the Greek language at three campuses in Melbourne which are Thornbury High School, Doncaster Secondary College, and Thomastown Secondary College. Classes start from 4 year old Kinder all the way to VCE Year 12. Our school program empowers our students to cultivate their Greek language skills and their knowledge of their Greek heritage & culture (Greek dance, Greek music, Greek theatre).
Nestoras College embraces centuries of Hellenic culture to enrich our students cultural identity and Greek conscience.
Our instrument tuition program has been running for 3 years and has currently over 100 students enrolled at our 3 campuses.
Greek dancing is a wonderful part of our Greek culture that is enjoyed by all of our students on a weekly basis.
An opportunity of intrinsic educational value for students to express their creativity, project a positive, self-confident and collaborative image and promote active learning and understanding through a kinaesthetic approach.
