Vinnies Service Medallion 

Last term our Year 7 students were introduced to the Vinnies Service Medallion (VSM) Program. The VSM program offers a fantastic opportunity for students to engage in meaningful community service activities, develop valuable life skills, and earn formal recognition for their efforts.

VSM is an opt-in program, if you would like your Year 7 child to be involved, please scan the QR Code and fill in the form.

Life Essentials by Alpha Youth

This term our Year 10 students will be involved in the Life Essentials Program by Alpha Youth. Life Essentials is a collection of short videos filmed and produced in Australia, designed for teenagers to spark faith conversations with friends. Each episode explores topics around identity, purpose, belonging & faith

Year 6 RE Test
