The SRC invites students to come in free-dress in order to support the important work of The Cancer Council! The theme is 'Crazy Hair Day' and to help students get into the theme there will also be crazy hair-related activities running at lunchtime that will be put on by the SRC.

Students need to come prepared with a gold coin to donate and enter the raffle to win some great prizes! Students need to bring additional gold coins if they wish to take part in the activities running at lunchtime. All proceeds will go towards The Cancer Council.

Carers Week

15 - 21 October 2023

We want to express our appreciation for the incredible young carers among us who provide support to their loved ones. Statistically, there is one young carer in every three classrooms.

To celebrate their dedication and hard work, we're hosting a Breakfast event on Friday, October 20th. All students are invited to join us in honouring our young carers and recognising the invaluable contributions they make to our community.
