Junior School Report

Junior school students and staff have been extremely busy since our last newsletter report and we are proud of the efforts and commitment of our junior students in all their classes and extra- curricular activities they have been involved in.

Medieval Day

Year 8 students participated in our annual Medieval Day on Friday 14th May and participated in a range of activities that promoted Medieval times. The days complemented the Unit completed in Humanities classes. It was great to see the students getting so involved in all of the activities and having so much fun.  The theme of the day was further complemented by a number of students and staff members across the school who dressed up for the day. Well done to all students and staff involved and a big thank you to Ms Duhandzija for overseeing the activities on the day.
