Upcoming Cocurricular Opportunities
Term Four presents some exciting opportunities for our students. There will be a number of Athletics and sporting carnivals, young writers workshops, swimming lessons and musical and ensemble performances.
Families in the Secondary School will also begin to receive information about 2024 Camps particularly those students in Year Nine and Year Ten in 2024. Camps are such a fantastic way to build cohesion within a cohort and to challenge our students that are simply not possible in the classroom. We look forward to working with families to make each student’s camp experience a rewarding one.
The easing of COVID restrictions has made the planning of intrastate, interstate and international travel possible. Recently a group of students travelled to Melbourne for a Digital Technologies Tour. We extend our thanks to Mr Kieran Bailey (Head of IT Services & Teacher) and Mr Josh Pitman (Technical Services Officer) for their planning and preparation for this tour.
Please see the information below outlining two upcoming opportunities for our students:
