New Uniform Options – Secondary Students

We have two exciting new additions to our uniform stock for Secondary students!

Navy Puffer Jacket – $105.00

Navy Puffer Vest – $95.00

Our new navy puffer jacket and puffer vest are both cosy and warm, perfect for this chilly Tasmanian weather that we are now having! These are a great option to keep students warm during outdoor activities.

We have stock available in sizes 14 – 3XL (with size 12 on backorder).

Both the puffer jacket and vest are available from our Uniform Shop, which is open Tuesday morning 8:30-9:00am and Thursday afternoon 2:30pm-3:00pm and from the front office outside of these hours.

Big Kids Table

Last week we had the privilege of welcoming The Big Kids Table team to our school community. Their visit was a significant part of our ongoing commitment to equipping students and families with the tools they need to navigate adolescence with confidence, clarity, and care.

At our parent information evening, we warmly welcomed families to hear an evidence-based presentation on the importance of healthy, God-honouring conversations around sexuality. The team gave practical advice on how to walk with young people through challenging topics—especially in those moments when a parent’s “shark music” starts playing. Parents were encouraged and empowered to stay in the conversation, even when it feels uncomfortable.

Throughout the week, secondary students engaged in age-appropriate sessions exploring pivotal issues surrounding identity, relationships, and growing up in a digital world. These workshops gave students space to ask questions, reflect deeply, and develop a clearer understanding of themselves and others. Our Year 9 students also received a focused session outlining the laws around consent in Australia—an important step in their maturity and understanding of respectful relationships.

Our Year 9s have also been busy serving others through the Beyond program, as their tribes take on increasing challenges in community service. One group recently completed the Badgers Trail in Sheffield—a physically and technically demanding course that required persistence, teamwork, and courage. Another group spent time at Camp Clayton, learning that service isn’t always glamorous but is always meaningful. Whether vacuuming, setting up equipment, or jumping in to help where needed, students found joy in making an impact and showed growing initiative and character.

We’re so proud of the way our students are embracing growth—in both knowledge and character—and we remain committed to supporting them on this journey.
