Middle School
Year 8 Outdoor Education - River Rafting Day
The Year 8 rafting trip on the Huon River is a valuable experience that emphasises teamwork, safety awareness, and problem-solving skills. As students work together to navigate the river, they will apply essential safety practices while overcoming challenges. This journey also deepens their connection to the environment, fostering a sense of responsibility and respect for nature.
Students and staff will travel to either the Huon River above Huonville or the Derwent River above New Norfolk, depending on water levels. Upon arrival, the group will inflate the rafts, gear up, and participate in a pre-trip briefing before starting the rafting adventure. Students will self-guide the rafts, with a guide closely following each raft in a kayak. In more technical sections, the guides may take over steering to ensure safety. Lunch will be enjoyed on the riverbank. No prior rafting experience is required, as this program is designed to be an introductory and enjoyable experience for all students.

Mobile Phone Muster
Do you have an old phone left-over from an upgrade? Do you have a drawer full of old phones and chargers and not know what to do with them?
Tutor group U5 in the Senior School is organising a mobile phone muster to recycle old phones and reuse the precious materials in them. There will be collection boxes in the office on every campus for students and parents to drop them in to. The boxes will be there for the last two weeks of term - Monday 16 September through to Friday 27 September. Please help us to look after the environment by recycling these old devices rather than just digging up new resources.
For more information please contact Jeremy Rackham
