Congratulations to our students who received their Silver Awards at assembly on 25 November.

Last week, Year 9 students successfully completed a Peer Support Program in collaboration with the wellbeing faculty. Students have the opportunity to nominate themselves as peer leaders for the upcoming year, where they will guide small groups of Year 7 students. This peer support initiative empowers participants, fosters positive relationships, enhances social and emotional skills, and contributes to a healthy school culture.
