Theatre Performance Year 11 IB - One Night Only! TONIGHT!
Year 11 IB Theatre students warmly invite family and friends to an evening of Shakespearena silliness as they present Tom Wallnorth’s Shakespeare’s King Phycus. This comedy combines many of your favourite characters - a retiring king, star crossed lovers, sword wielding Romans and Yorick - in a whole new devious and entertaining plot.
When: Thursday 25 May, 7-8.30pm
Where: Bill & Marjorie Oats Theatre, High School Campus, entry off Carr Street, doors open 6.45pm
Who: suitable for all with warnings of some slightly gruesome stage action and unforgivable Shakespearean puns

Push Up Challenge
The Push Up Challenge is an initiative of the Push for Better Foundation and is Australia’s largest mental health and fitness initiative. This year our Clemes Council Wellbeing Reps are encouraging participants to perform 3,144 pushups over 23 days in July. If you don’t like pushups, you can do squats, situps or some other exercise.
Each day, participants are given a target number of exercises related to an Australian mental health statistic.
Contact your tutor rep, James or Hayley to sign up!
Years 11 & 12 Course Information Evening - Wednesday 14th June 7pm
Further information and links will be available closer to the date.
Our updated online Years 11 & 12 Course Book for 2024 will be ready for circulation later this month. It will contain useful information about each program and the extensive range of courses that we offer. This year it is important to note that there are a number of TCE courses that are changing due to course accreditation and these will be reflected in the new version of the Years 11 & 12 Course Book.
