Principal's Report
Term 3 News!
We commenced the term by celebrating the remarkable success and endeavour of our students throughout Semester 1. It was truly pleasing to see so many parents and carers in attendance, celebrating their children's achievements alongside our dedicated teaching staff.
The following week, the annual College Athletics carnival was a terrific day filled with energy and school spirit. The majority of our students actively participated across both official track and field events as well as novelty games. It was pleasing to see so many students proudly wearing their well-earned ribbons. We wish the best of luck to the many athletes representing our college at the Group Athletics competition next week!
Last week, our annual Soiree was full of excitement as our instrumental students, new and experienced, showcased their talents to an audience of well over 100 students, parents, carers, and staff. Congratulations to all performers and to the instrumental music teachers for an enjoyable evening celebrating our student’s musical talents.
Students and staff have also been busy exploring new challenges beyond the traditional classroom:
- Senior Snowboarding Camp: Senior school students recently returned from an enjoyable and challenging trip to the slopes, testing their skills and building resilience.
- Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA): Several of our high achievers represented the college at the Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) last Saturday, tackling complex global issues through diplomatic debate and collaboration.
- Toyota World Hydrogen Challenge: Our remarkably capable STEM students are putting the finishing touches on their entry for the upcoming challenge, aiming to reach the world finals scheduled for early next year.
- Alpine Leadership School – after a rigorous selection process, four year 9 students with strong leadership potential are preparing to head to the Snowy River where they will spend most of term 4 developing leadership and resilience skills away from home.
The excitement around campus has a palpable buzz as our college production of Peter Pan enters its final weeks of rehearsals.
The anticipation of opening night is electric, and I encourage all members of our school community to purchase their tickets early, support our performing artists, and join us for what promises to be an unforgettable show.
Over the past few weeks, senior and junior school students have been participating in course counselling along with their parents and carers as they develop their learning programs for 2027, and our trained counsellors. Thank you to students, parents, carers, and staff for their continued focus on learning.
