From the Principal

The final week of Term 3 has allowed many of our students to be recognised for the hard work, determination and commitment they have demonstrated throughout the term.

Our Primary students proudly showcased their learning during the Inquiry Journeys evening, while the Year 6 students proudly presented their PYP Exhibition. Meanwhile, many Secondary students were recognised at the Secondary Colours Assembly.

The Year 10 students have had a terrific final week participating in their Encounter where they have hiked part of the Cape to Cape, abseiled and explored some caves enjoying the spectacular scenery of the south coast.

Thank you to the staff involved in the many opportunities afforded to our students this term and to our families for your ongoing support.

Year 12 Mock Examinations

While most students will be taking a break from school over the next couple of weeks, our Year 12 ATAR students will be busy with their Mock Exams. It’s a challenging time as they near the end of their school journey and prepare for their final exams. We wish them the best of luck!

The students and staff have achieved a great deal this term. I am immensely proud and appreciative of their efforts.

I wish you a wonderful school break; a time to rest and rejuvenate after a busy term.

With appreciation

Kylie Virgo

Interim Principal
