Middle School

As we approach the end of the school year, we would like to acknowledge the hard work, growth, and resilience our Middle School students have demonstrated. This year has been filled with academic challenges, co-curricular opportunities, and moments of personal achievement. We are incredibly proud of the way students have supported one another and shown strong commitment to their learning and wellbeing.

This week, students celebrated the end of the year through our Awards Assembly and acknowledgments, recognising students for their achievements, effort, and contributions across 2025. Students are encouraged to celebrate their own personal success across the year and had the opportunity to enjoy their year level Pastoral Day as a part of the end of year celebrations.

I have had the privilege of travelling to New Zealand this week with our Year 9 student delegation as part of the Round Square program. Our students represented the school with maturity and enthusiasm and are excited to return and share their experiences with the wider community in the new year.

As we head into the holiday period, I wish all families a safe, restful, and enjoyable break. We hope the Christmas season brings moments of joy, connection, and celebration. After a busy and rewarding year, we encourage students to take time to recharge so they can return in 2026 feeling refreshed and ready for the exciting opportunities awaiting them in the new school year.
