Year 7 Launch Camp

The Year 7 cohort has had an awesome time away on camp in Robe. The Launch Camp is a great way to kickstart the year and for the students to get to know one another and some of their teachers.

It's great to see so many happy faces!

What's On At School!

Year 8/9 Art students have a focus on printmaking in Semester 1 and are currently working on dry point intaglio prints using the printing press.

As the Black Ranges tournament was cancelled, the intermediate cricketers played a match at recess and lunch on Tuesday, umpired by Principal Gerard Raven!

The Year 8/9 Foods class were the first students to cook with the new airfyers we purchased this year!

Year 8/9 Textiles students completed their first project of the year.

Miss Grace's Year 8 PE class played badminton, and Archie and Jake faced off against Holly and Skyla in the round-robin grand final! Year 10 Textiles students were working on various projects, pictured is Olivia who was creating a pencil case. Year 7 Art students were painting a colour wheel and making gelli prints.

Opening Mass

Earlier this term we gathered as a whole school at Ss Michael and John's Catholic Church for the Opening School Mass, led by Fr Matt Restall. We then presented the Year 11 cohort with their senior badges, as well as the 2024 Student Leaders and Captains. Congratulations to Year 12 student, Sean McDonald, who received a study score above 40 in General Mathematics in 2023, placing him in the top 9% of the state. Sean was presented with a certificate.

We have had a great start to 2024 and look forward to an excellent year with our students, families, staff and community!

GIRLS IN TRADE |

On Tuesday, Year 9 student, Lily Popadynec, attended the Supporting and Linking Tradeswomen Day, held at Federation University. The workshop was a great opportunity for the students to hear more about a career in trades and learn some essential safety skills when working with power tools.

"It was pretty cool to attend and learn about trades and listen to women talk about their qualifications. It was helpful to think about what I would like to do in the future and cemented my thoughts about going into a trade. We built a wooden box, learnt how to use different saws, drills and cutting equipment. I would highly recommend this to other students, especially if they are looking at building." - Lily P
