Mobile Phone Muster

Do you have an old phone left-over from an upgrade? Do you have a drawer full of old phones and chargers and not know what to do with them?

Tutor group U5 in the Senior School is organising a mobile phone muster to recycle old phones and reuse the precious materials in them. There will be collection boxes in the office on every campus for students and parents to drop them in to. The boxes will be there for the last two weeks of term - Monday 16 September through to Friday 27 September. Please help us to look after the environment by recycling these old devices rather than just digging up new resources.

IB Theatre - Year 12 Solo Theatre Performances

Tuesday 17 September | 6.30pm start

We warmly invite all members of our school community to an evening of culminating performances presented by Year 12 IB Diploma Theatre students. Their last Higher Level project is a Solo Theatre Piece. Students must select a theatre practitioner whose approach to theatre making interests them and from their research create their own original performance based on key aspects of that practitioner’s work. Solo performers this year are Florence Jeffrey, Miles Bray, Immy Nock, Grace Winspear and Amelia Hoskin-Newell.

The performances will be followed by Q&A sessions as students are required to gain feedback from their audience as to the impact of their theatre piece. This evening of theatre is highly recommended for all senior students, in particular, Senior School students who have selected or are considering the IB Diploma for Years 11 and 12.

When: Tuesday 17 September, 6.30pm - 8.30pm

Where: Bill & Marjorie Oats Theatre, Commercial Road Campus

Entry: Free, doors will open at 6.20pm
