Blue Edge. 

This term has been the start of a fantastic program for our year 9 students. Those who are taking part are learning about what it takes to be a leader, having fun and getting fit.

The group are demonstrating our values and working as a team to get the most from this amazing program.

Harmony Day: What makes us who we are.

We are rich in diversity, strong in identity, proud of our history.

As a college we have the wonderful privilege to share in this community with so many students and families who come from vibrant and varied backgrounds. It is this unity in diversity that teaches us that we are all part of a wider community, and that each of us has a part to play to do their part towards creating a harmonious and caring school. 

We were thrilled to see the demonstration of pride in our student cultural heritage at our Cultural Celebration day, the timing of which coincided with Harmony Day the following week. 

We also thank our partners Foundation House, Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) and welcome new partners Australian Muslim Womens Centre for Human Rights AMWCHR. 

Term 2 Wednesday Muslim Young Womens Group. AMWCHR

Every Wednesday at lunchtime our Muslim young women are invited to join Farima from AMWCHR for lunch and conversation in J2.

Hi everyone! I'm Farima, thrilled to connect with all you fabulous girls and dive into some meaningful conversations. Aussie by birth, Afghan by heritage, I bring a blend of down-under charm and Afghan spice to the table. Can't wait to chat and explore the topics that matter to you!

AMWCHR will be supporting our young women, and their families throughout the year and will be also holding parent forums around financial literacy, settlement, human rights and the context of Australia, and affirmative consent.

We are excited to have them on board.
