Year 7 News  

Students have returned from the Term 3 holidays refreshed and ready to complete their last term for 2026. Teachers hope that parents have read their child’s report and have discussed how everyone can improve. 

Reading books build essential cognitive, emotional and physical benefits that improve overall well-being and long-term success. Consistent active reading benefits students in all subjects. So far this year our Year 7 students have borrowed 3410 books from our school library. 

World Championships

Hi my name is Isaac W. Back in May this year, I was selected for the Australian Taekwondo Poomsae National Team to compete at the World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships in South Korea this September. Poomsae is a pre-choreographed set of taekwondo blocks, strikes and kicks, it’s performed in front of a panel of judges who deduct points based on accuracy and presentation.

The opportunity to compete with some of the top athletes in the world is an experience I will cherish for a long time, and I have learnt a lot from other athletes which will help me improve and grow as a competitor.

It is a great privilege and honour to represent my country at the highest level of Taekwondo Poomsae competition, I have been working towards this goal for a long time, but getting here wasn’t easy and it didn’t happen overnight. It took years of hard work, practice, dedication and the resilience to overcome lots of injuries and failures. I will continue to work towards my goals, and I hope to represent Australia again in the future.
