Badges Assembly

Thank you to the school community for their attendance and engagement in the Badges Assembly on Tuesday. The assembly is an important opportunity for the school to recognise our 2025 VCE High Achievers, Special Award winners and to introduce the 2026 Student Leaders and SRC.

Our students demonstrated great attention to our speakers, including Principal Susan Ogden and our Student Leaders. The messages from our School Captains (Elaha & Adam) and SRC Presidents (Anisa & Daniel) focused on the importance of taking the small steps that build up to the larger achievement, and have the courage to act to bring those achievements to life. Keep an eye out for the next Newsletter to read their speeches and reflect on their words, which inspire us all to take the small steps and to enact courage.

We wish our 20 Student Leaders well with their year in office, and look forward to seeing them work with our new Student Representative Council (SRC) to amplify student voice to create a supportive, inclusive and high performing school environment.

School Production: The Wiz!

This week, rehearsals for this year's school production of The Wiz started! Our cast and crew of 60 strong students, 11 staff and a group of ex-students are all eager and excited to jump into the Land of Oz and bring this high energy, joyous show to life, with just a little bit of magic...the magic of theatre that is!
