Well done Timothy!

In yesterday's Secondary Assembly Timothy Prajogo played Chopin Nocturne, Op 9 from memory on a grand piano. Timothy is an exceptionally talented piano player and he blessed us with such a beautiful piece of music. 

Please enjoy a short clip of Timothy's piano playing:

Congratulations Charlotte!

Grade 8 student Charlotte Brooks has recently discovered a passion for Softball. Charlotte competes in a women’s team with mum Kylie where the ages of players range from 13-99 years! Charlotte’s team plays in a local competition where they compete each Saturday in Hobart. Charlotte’s team made the finals.

Recently, Charlotte tried out for the Junior Under 16s team and was successful. Charlotte’s team won the State Grand Final, winning against a team from the North of Tasmania. To achieve this, Charlotte’s team needed to play 4 games, each lasting 1.5 hours – all in one day!

What a great way to develop teamwork, resilience, and patience all while having fun!  

Congratulations Charlotte, we commend you on your wonderful achievements!
