Celebrating Our Education Support Personnel (ESP Day) – 14 May 2026

The red carpet was rolled out as we celebrated Education Support Personnel Day with an Oscars-themed morning tea honouring the incredible staff who work behind the scenes to keep our School running every day.

Our Education Support staff were recognised with handmade artist badges created by our Art team, certificates of appreciation and a sweet treat, all in recognition of their dedication, professionalism and the invaluable contribution they make to our community.

Thank you to every member of our Education Support team. Your care, commitment and hard work are truly award-winning, and we are so grateful for all that you do.

Celebrating Culture Across Our School

On the final day of Term 2, our School community came together to celebrate Cultural Diversity Day, recognising the rich diversity of cultures, traditions and backgrounds that make our community so special.

Staff enjoyed a vibrant Cultural Morning Tea featuring a delicious selection of foods inspired by cuisines from around the world. The event was a wonderful opportunity to connect, share stories and celebrate the many cultures that enrich our School each day.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing Canteen team together with our Indonesian and French teachers for preparing such a wonderful spread and helping bring the celebration to life. Thank you also to everyone who came along and embraced the celebration. Your enthusiasm and willingness to share your culture made the morning a truly special occasion.
