Year 7

We welcomed the Year 7 class of 2024 on 1 February. Students settled in well to the routine of High School and looked fantastic in their new uniform.

PDHPE

In accordance with the DoE Policy for excursions, all students are required to complete the annual water safety test to enable their participation in water activities. Students completed the test on 8 & 15 February.

Year 7 students are doing swimming for sport each Wednesday in Term 1. It is an opportunity for students to improve their swimming stroke and learn additional water safety tools.

It is wonderful to see our students utilising the facilities at the youth precinct for Wednesday sport.
