New Experiences Together – A Semester of Growth

As we commence Semester 2, our Secondary Years community embraces a season of renewal—marked by new subjects, new teachers, and fresh opportunities for learning. 

This week, Year 10 students and families have been engaging in Subject Counselling meetings, a significant step in shaping future academic pathways.

Our Year 9 students are also stepping into new territory, embracing the Community Project service experience—a chance to connect, contribute, and grow through meaningful action.

For Year 12s, this term marks their final full term of learning before exams—a time to consolidate knowledge, seek support, and finish strong.

Together, we embark on new experiences that foster resilience, curiosity, and connection. May this semester be one of purposeful progress and shared discovery.

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" — Isaiah 43:19

We look forward to walking alongside each student with confidence and hope.

Year 7 Pastoral Team

Five-Way Soccer Champions

Each week, Year 7 Pastoral Care groups face off in the fiercely contested Five-Way Soccer Challenge. Term 1 ended with a nail-biting final, as 7D claimed victory in a 3–2 penalty shootout after extra time finished in a draw. A standout moment came from Sukhavar Bajwa, whose dynamic double save sealed the win.

The coveted trophy will be up for grabs again in Term 4!
