Term 4 has kicked off with an exciting flurry of events, showcasing the incredible talents of our students. We’ve already celebrated the Spring Concert, where our musicians delivered a wonderful evening of performances, followed by the impressive Art and Tech Show, highlighting the creativity and innovation within our student body.

Our Year 12 students also marked their final day with celebrations that brought the school community together, as they prepare for the next chapter in their lives. Additionally, we’ve seen our students participate in a variety of sporting events, proudly representing Belmont High.

Through all these activities, our students continue to embody the core values of our school—respect, resilience, and opportunity. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the stage, or out on the sports field, they consistently demonstrate these values in everything they do.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to making this start to Term 4 such a success. I look forward to seeing even more achievements as the term progresses.
