Special mention to class of 2024 graduate Evie Parker on being drafted to the Fremantle Dockers at pick 38 in the AFLW draft. A sensational achievement, and a great testament to Evie’s hard work over the years. Evie was always involved in regular team sports as well as track and field, cross country and swimming. Evie becomes our 2nd student to enter the AFLW competition along with Mikala Cann who plays for Collingwood. All the best for a successful season Evie!

Junior Swimming Carnival

Families are reminded that consent on Compass must be complete prior to next Wednesday’s swimming carnival.

On the day, students are required to go to their period 1 class to get their name marked on the roll. Students cannot board a bus without parent consent, their class and their teacher. 

The weather forecast is looking to be great. Students are encouraged to wear their house colours and get involved in as many events as possible. Don’t forget your water, hat and sunscreen!

Sport is a fantastic co-curricular program for all. There are many opportunities each term for students to participate and take on volunteer positions coaching and as student helpers.
