Boarding Muster

On the last day of Term Three, the Boarding community gathered to discuss the operations of our boarding school and beyond.  The interactive forum provided an opportunity for staff and parents to interact on current and future directions of boarding.  There was also an opportunity for the Head of Boarding, Mr Ashley Keatch to introduce his staff including Heads of Boarding House, catering staff, and GAP students.  One of the highlights of the day was the sharing of lunch with parents and students which was prepared by the catering staff with the lamb on the spit donated by one of our boarding families.  Thank you to all the boarding parents for attending this important event.

Welcome back to Term Four

This term we farewell our Year Twelve students and celebrate the achievements of the year with various Award Ceremonies and events.  We encourage all families to maintain student attendance until the final day of school for each year group.  We feel it is important that students finish well including maintaining attendance until the year is complete.
