Learning and Teaching

There is much to look forward to this term. There are a variety of upcoming co-curricular activities, which serve to provide opportunities to utilise strengths and talents in a multitude of ways. Students are preparing to participate in the Big Science Competition, Building Bridges, Debating and many SCSA and SEGAP sporting competitions.
