END OF TERM GRATITUDE || At the end of last year, our Principal spoke about moving beyond luck and recognising the power of gratitude. Building on this, we asked students and staff one simple question: What are you grateful for?

It has been pleasing to hear reflections on the people who make up our college — our wonderful students, supportive staff and families — as well as friendships, opportunities and a strong sense of belonging within our community.

MONDAY 20 APRIL 2026

TERM 2 READY || Today our staff participated in a valuable professional learning day and are ready to welcome students back tomorrow for another great term ahead.

Staff engaged in sessions led by Education Excellence Australia and our leadership team, drawing on the following quote from renowned education leader Dylan Wiliam:

“If we create a culture where every teacher believes they need to improve, not because they are not good enough but because they can be even better, there is no limit to what we can achieve.”
