On Friday, 6 December 2024, Saint Andrew’s Campus of The Aetolian College in Burwood, organised its annual End of Year Concert celebration to mark the end of the academic year. The celebration took place in the packed hall of the Parish of St. Andrew, Forrest Hill, with the honorary presence of His Grace Bishop of Kyriakos of Melbourne, who represented His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia.

His Grace offered icons and presented awards to the VCE class, while praising the students for their dedication and perseverance in preserving the Greek Language.

Also, His Grace offered a small gift to each child as a blessing and conveyed the wishes and blessings of His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia, wishing all those present a blessed Christmas.
