Senior Secondary School
It’s been a wonderful start to 2026 for our entire PBC community – particularly our senior students who have launched smoothly into the school year. We were particularly proud of our senior attendance at the Swimming Carnival in Week 2 and your support of our Valentine’s Day fundraiser – allowing our Student Council to spread love around the school and raise money for their charity, YoungCare.
Over the coming weeks as we build towards formal assessment, we are fortunate to be welcoming our tertiary providers to our Year 12 University Showcase in Week 6 as discussions commence around pathways and opportunities beyond our school gates.
We look forward to catching up with many of our senior parents and carers at the upcoming Parent Teacher Interviews – to be held across Tuesday 5th – Thursday 7th May in Term 2.
