Acacia Cove Village

Acacia Cove had a wonderful Race Night on Friday, 31st May.

The Jockeys and Jocketts were in top shape and as a result, their racing performance was remarkable. If I may add… Even their appearance has improved dramatically, some even looked about 60 years younger!

Acacia Cove had a wonderful Race Night on Friday, 31st May.

The Jockeys and Jocketts were in top shape and as a result, their racing performance was remarkable. If I may add… Even their appearance has improved dramatically, some even looked about 60 years younger!

On 27th May, the bowlers from Possum Borne Village came to visit Acacia Cove. We kicked off the day with a nutritious morning tea, they had a delicious lunch and said their goodbyes over a cuppa during afternoon tea.

The weather was amazing, and the games were a pleasure to watch as the bowlers were all in top shape. Well done bowlers!

After visiting ACG Strathallan we were confident it was the right choice.”

The Mills family value the supportive academic environment, and the strong holistic focus. They are delighted with the choice they’ve made and are confident of the benefits this educational opportunity will provide.
