Student Athlete of the Month

Well done to Shayla Smith who received the Student Athlete of the Month Award. Not only has Shayla achieved great sporting outcomes outside of school but she has also completed incredible work inside the classroom and during her sport classes. Well done, Shayla. 

Sports Academy Diaries  

All students have been provided with a Sports Academy diary, which they use to record weekly goals, gratitude, homework and daily reminders for all subjects and events. 

The diary is a great learning tool and we would love parents to take an interest in students' homework, learning tasks and everything else that is going on at school.
