Principal's Address

Mr. Ralph David
As Term 2 comes to a close, its amazing to reflect on all the incredible events and achievements we have shared. This term has been packed with activities and plenty to celebrate.
Celebrating Our Sporting Successes
From our Athletics Carnival and Cross Country to our school sporting knockout teams. Our students have shown outstanding spirit.
Congratulations to all our sporting teams:
Support Unit Basketball Team
U15's Netball Team, with a fantastic victory over Blakehurst High School
Open Netball Team
Boccia Team, proudly placing 7th overall
Open Basketball Team
And, of course, our spectacular Volleyball Teams.
A special thank you to Sydney Super Shuttle for generously donating their services to our school and providing transport for our Volleyball students to the Volleyball School Cup Tournament at Sydney Olympic Park. Your support made a significant difference, and we truly appreciate your contribution to our students’ sporting experience.
Honouring ANZAC Day
Our school's ANZAC Day ceremony was a moving and thoughtful event, helping everyone deepen their understanding of its importance. Thank you to the dedicated staff and students who organised and presented the ceremony, and to our special guest who made the occasion truly meaningful. Additionally, as we do each year, many students and staff attended the Mascot Sub-Branch ANZAC Day Commemoration.
Community and Culture
This term, we proudly celebrated International Women’s Day, Harmony Day and National Reconciliation Week, with significant student leadership driving these important events. Our Aboriginal girls participated in Sister Speak, a program designed to build confidence and strengthen connections within our community.
These highlights are just a glimpse of the many enriching opportunities our school offers, embraced wholeheartedly by our wonderful students.
Guitar Club
I have truly enjoyed leading the Guitar Club this year, running both beginner and intermediate groups. We’re excited to showcase our progress with a performance planned for the end-of-year Big Night Out!
Big Picture Learning
We recently held a Big Picture Information Evening for families interested in an alternative approach to learning. As an exploring school, we are currently enrolling students in Years 9 and 10 for the 2027 Big Picture Learning program. To learn more, please visit our website or contact the school directly. You can also explore success stories and further details at the Big Picture Learning Australia website.
School Uniform
I want to emphasise the importance of wearing our school uniform every day. After extensive consultation with the community, we designed a uniform that prioritises comfort and style our students feel confident wearing. Uniform compliance is a school expectation.
To support families, we sell uniforms on-site at affordable prices. If your family is experiencing financial hardship, confidential assistance is available—please contact the school to discuss support options.
Parents, please encourage your children to wear the correct uniform. You can find uniform details on our website, and we are happy to answer any questions you may have.
Final Thoughts
To our students, I wish you a safe and relaxing holiday. Senior students, please use this time wisely to prepare for your HSC exams. For families enjoying a break, have a wonderful holiday season. Stay warm and safe, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Tuesday 21 July 2026.
