Students will then participate in a 1 on 1 interview with their MYSELF teacher regarding the subject choices they have made.
Year 9 students selecting their Year 10 2024 subjects will need to submit their choices by Friday 28th July, 4pm.

Community Competition for National Tree Day - "Me and My Tree"
Join us this year as we invite students/classes to delve into the realm of poetry and storytelling, exploring the significance of a tree in our lives. The theme is "Me and My Tree".
Every tree has a story to tell. They are intricately intertwined with our ecosystem, environment, and wellbeing.
Trees forge deep connections with their surroundings and with us. Their branches provide shelter from the elements, offering a haven for local wildlife. They stand as silent witnesses to our dreams, and childhood adventures like games of hide-and-seek. Some trees grow alongside us, becoming deeply cherished and holding a special place in our hearts.
Branch out your creativity and let your words take root in our annual school and community competition, where trees inspire verses that soar to new heights.
How to enter:
- Submit a written poem, short story or a video sharing your poem or story (5MG or less).
- Your poem should be no longer than 40 lines.
- One entry per class or per individual.
- Submit to your Positive Climate for Learning and Community Engagement Leader - Ms. Chiuchiarelli
Prizing:
- High School - 2 x $1000 garden voucher
Competition closes Sunday 30th July 2023
