Assistant Principal's Report
College Presentation
On Tuesday December 11 we celebrated the achievements of our students in academic, cultural, leadership and sporting endeavours, showcasing the talents of many of our gifted students. It was a great community event, with parents, carers, relatives, and friends in attendance to recognise and celebrate our students' achievements of 2018.
