For the first time, Beaconhills College has a third-generation student, marking a new milestone in the College’s history.

New Prep Ellery couldn’t wait to get to class today (Wednesday 1 February) with the other excited Preps arriving at the Pakenham Campus. Her mum Avalon was at Beaconhills from 2006 to 2011, while Avalon’s dad Scott Anketell (pictured right in his Year 12 photo) was at Beaconhills from 1985 until he graduated in 1988.

Avalon’s older brother Alexand was the first second-generation student to complete Year 12 at the College in 2009. Now Ellery is continuing the Beaconhills family tradition.

Like her mum, Ellery loves performing arts and has already asked when she can start singing lessons.
