There's so much happening as we settle into Term 3! Final debates training is wrapping up, and preparations are underway for our next round of senior public speaking competitions. Readers Cup is keeping our Year 9s and 10s busy, while Model UN practice is gearing up again, for another session in week 3 discussing "The Question of AI and Democracy". Our much-loved co-curricular clubs—Writing, Japanese, Italian, Rebel Yarners, and Dungeons & Dragons at Padua—are all back in action too. A special shoutout to our brand-new Optiminds teams!
This exciting new challenge is similar to our past Tournament of Minds, and we can’t wait to see what our students bring to the table. Lastly, a huge thank you to everyone involved in the recent FCIP camp—an incredible experience thoroughly enjoyed by all! We look forward to sharing the highlights of our extensive club and committee opportunities each fortnight in News & Views - watch this space!
