Year 10 Encounter
Year 10 Cape to Cape
This week the Year 10 students set off for their Encounter in the Margaret River region. Often a highlight when students reflect upon their time at the School, this experience saw the students enjoy part of the stunning Cape to Cape track, test themselves rock climbing and abseiling whilst enjoying each other company away from the formalities of school. My thanks to Ms Fowler for her organisation of the Encounter and the staff who supported our students for their time away.

Year 11/12 Outdoor Rec Mountain Biking Excursion
On Friday 13 September, students from Year 10 Outdoor Recreation and Year 11 Certificate II Outdoor Recreation went Point Walter Mountain Bike Track to test their mountain bike skills and bravery. It was awesome to see students flying off jumps and around corners. While we have some very confident riders, I was most proud of the courage shown by some our less confident riders. Like every year some students pushed their limits and lost some skin…but gained some stories. I was also impressed by the leadership shown by the Year 11 students, always offering to help and assist the Year 10 students. Well done to everyone.
