Sports Colours Day 

Friday 27 September

Students in Years 7 and 8 are encouraged to donate gold coins to support our Climate Action Group and wear their favourite sports team colours this Friday. Gold coins will be collected by a Key Teacher throughout the day. In addition, during first break, discounted snow cones will be on offer. Students need to bring their own cup if they would like to make a purchase. What a great way to finish a fabulous term!

Year 8 Outdoor Education - River Rafting Day 

The Year 8 rafting trip on the Huon River is a valuable experience that emphasises teamwork, safety awareness, and problem-solving skills. As students work together to navigate the river, they will apply essential safety practices while overcoming challenges. This journey also deepens their connection to the environment, fostering a sense of responsibility and respect for nature.

Students and staff will travel to either the Huon River above Huonville or the Derwent River above New Norfolk, depending on water levels. Upon arrival, the group will inflate the rafts, gear up, and participate in a pre-trip briefing before starting the rafting adventure. Students will self-guide the rafts, with a guide closely following each raft in a kayak. In more technical sections, the guides may take over steering to ensure safety. Lunch will be enjoyed on the riverbank. No prior rafting experience is required, as this program is designed to be an introductory and enjoyable experience for all students.
