A Vibrant TAS Showcase

The Technological and Applied Studies Showcase on Friday, 21 August celebrated the outstanding creativity and technical skills of students from Years 7 to 12. Visitors enjoyed an impressive display of projects and major works across a range of technology and design subjects, while Hospitality students showcased their talents through a selection of delicious canapés. The evening concluded with a vibrant Textile Parade, highlighting the innovation and dedication of our student designers.

Wear It Purple Day

Last week, we proudly supported Wear It Purple Day, an important opportunity to affirm a culture of inclusion, respect and belonging for all students. We acknowledge and thank Williams House for leading the mufti day and House activities, which helped raise awareness and bring students together in a positive and supportive way. Their efforts were a wonderful example of student initiative and of the important role our Houses play in strengthening the spirit and values of our School community. 

Year 12 Finishing Well

As our Year 12 students enter their final weeks, there is a shared responsibility for each member of the cohort to finish well and make the most of these significant final moments at Kinross Wolaroi School. 

This is a time to celebrate their contribution, honour the relationships and opportunities that have shaped their journey, and uphold the standards of respect, gratitude and pride that reflect positively on them, their families and the School. 

Families are encouraged to read the accompanying information letter, which outlines the key arrangements and expectations for the final week, Graduation Ceremony and Graduation Celebration.
