Celebrations of Learning and Community

Year 12 Welcome Breakfast

Our Year 12 Welcome Breakfast was a fantastic way to start our final year, bringing together over 200 students, parents, grandparents and significant family members. The morning highlighted the vital role of family and teacher support in our studies, with Mr Stockwell speaking to us about the importance of commitment and balance in our final year.

 

A special assembly with the College Leadership and staff followed, providing us with key insights into what lies ahead. One of the most heartfelt moments was receiving letters from our parents - words of encouragement to turn to when challenges arise.

 

A huge thank you to the cafeteria staff as well for the wonderful catering!

2025 Semester One Clubs Program

Our Semester One Clubs Program began this week with students attending a variety of clubs each lunchtime. These clubs are great opportunities for students to connect with others and learn new skills. It has been fantastic to see so many students in attendance. 

The College will also be running our Breakfast Club on Thursday mornings from 8:00 AM-8:40 AM. Students are encouraged to come and grab something to eat and drink before starting their school day.
