Year 8 News

As we reach the end of term, The Year 8 team would like to congratulate our students on reaching the end of Term 3. It has been a busy and rewarding term, and it has been pleasing to see students continue to grow in their learning, relationships and confidence. As we head into the final term of the year, we encourage all students to continue demonstrating our school pillars of Work Ethic, Engagement, Relationships and Excellence and finish

 the year strong.
