Year 11 2026 Subject Selection Expo

Although it may seem a long way off, students will begin the process of researching information and selecting their subjects for 2026 at the beginning of term 3.

Year 10 students will have a student assembly to explain the process of selecting subjects for Year 11 2026 in Week 1 of term 3.  

We will conduct a subject selection Expo Wednesday July 30th in Period 3. The Expo will give students, parents and guardians an opportunity to discuss individual subjects that are offered in Senior School with our experienced Senior School teachers. This part of the Expo will be set up in C Block.

Parents/guardians of Year 10 students are invited to attend the Expo with their student. If you wish to attend, you are invited to come to the school and meet your student at the flagpole at 12pm.

Duke of Ed Camp Semester 1 2025 Cathedral Ranges State Park

The 2025 Duke of Edinburgh Camp was an exhilarating experience for all participants, blending thrilling adventures with significant personal achievements. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Cathedral Ranges, the camp took place at the picturesque Cooks Mill offering an ideal setting for young adventurers to challenge themselves and forge lasting memories. The Duke of Edinburgh Camp is a beacon of resilience, leadership, and self-discovery and once again paved the way for an unforgettable journey for our attendees. This year’s camp united a diverse group of young people, all driven to surpass their limits and achieve their aspirations. 

On the first day we completed a tough summit of Sugarloaf Peak. 

Sugarloaf Peak stands as a testament to the natural beauty and grandeur of Australia. This lesser-known marvel offers time for adventure and a steep rock scramble was overcome. 

On day 2 we traversed the expanses of the Cathedral Ranges, a breathtaking expanse of rugged peaks, verdant valleys, and awe-inspiring vistas. This natural wonder is more than just a destination; it’s an experience that beckons adventurers, nature enthusiasts, and those seeking an escape into the sublime beauty of Australia’s wilderness. 

On Day 3 we walked to the top of the beautiful Stevenson’s Fall. It’s also an enchanting experience that promises to mesmerise every visitor. We were captivated by the magic of Steavenson Falls, the crown jewel of Victoria’s natural landscape and a fitting end to a challenging and rewarding Duke of Ed Camp. 

Thanks to Mr Smyth, Lorraine and Hailey for assisting on our journey
