Year 7 Community Lunch on the Lawns
The High School Council has some exciting news for Year 7s! This year, unfortunately we will not be having the traditional Year 7 Social due to limited interest. Instead, we are planning a Year 7 Community Lunch on the Lawns for Thursday, November 30 during your Gathering period, with the focus being ‘Fostering Community’.
The High School Council will guide Year 7 students in organising this event, but students will be asked to bring their own picnic food with the intent to share with friends if they wish. The theme is "Community: Lunch on the Lawns," and students can form picnic groups within and across Key Teacher groups to share a meal. We are also considering a Picnic Photo Booth for some fun photos and a range of activities for you to enjoy.
More details will follow as we get closer to the date. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the High School Council.
Stay tuned for updates!
Colony 47 Christmas Appeal

Each year Colony 47 host a Christmas lunch providing food, companionship and Christmas spirit to people in need. The event has been running for 40 years, and relies on donations of time, food, gifts and funds. This year, Unwin 4 and Hodgkin 7 are helping to support Colony 47 by collecting gift cards, children’s toys and both male and female toiletries. If any members of our community are able to support this drive to support the Christmas Lunch please bring donations to Lainey (Unwin 4), Casey-Rae (Hodgkin 7), or the High School Office. Donations will be accepted from November 13-December 8.
