Year 8 Outdoor Education Camp

We are excited for our Year 8 students to go to Lake Borumba for their Outdoor Education Camp in Week 8 (4 - 7 June). Our Year 8 students met with the camp coordinators from Higher Ground this week to discuss packing lists and what to expect while on camp. Outdoor Education is a powerful way of developing independence, confidence, and developing relationship outside of the regular school environment. 

Winter Uniform - Badges and Blazers

The new Winter uniform requires all badges, including leadership and College badges, to be worn on the left lapel on the blazer. Please refer to the Uniform Policy and images below. 

Counting down to the Futures Expo!

Universities, student accommodation (Colleges), TAFE, private VET training providers and the Defence Forces will be in the Assembly Hall at 3.15pm until 5pm on Monday 10 June.

The Futures Expo is a key event for students in Years 9, 10, 11 and 12 to get ideas for their subject selection choices as well as what to study after high school. Exhibitors will have current brochures and advice about what courses they have to offer, and how to apply.

Plus, there are prizes up for grabs! We have six showbags of merchandise donated by each of the exhibitors. Each student will be given a ‘passport’ upon arrival which needs to be stamped or signed by six exhibitors and then popped into our entry box. Six winners will be drawn at the end of the Futures Expo.

Students in Years 9, 10, 11 and 12 - make sure you this date saved in your diaries!
