Upcoming Events for Students and Families

TAKE THE 40 HOUR CHALLENGE!

Following on from GLS Next Gen, we are excited to invite students (staff and parents) in Years 5–10 to take part in the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge!

The 40 Hour Challenge is an opportunity to step outside our comfort zones, challenge ourselves and make a difference in the lives of children and communities around the world.

For 40 hours, students can choose to GIVE UP something they enjoy, whether that is gaming, social media, snacks, screens, etc. Alternatively, students can TAKE ON a challenge for 40 hours, whether that is telling a joke every hour for 40 hours, sharing 40 words of encouragement, or something else entirely, and use the experience to raise funds for World Vision.

This is a great opportunity for students to put leadership into action. Just as we explored what it means to lead, serve and make a difference through our GLS Next Gen events, the 40 Hour Challenge gives students a practical way to live this out.

✨ Challenge yourself.🤝 Make a difference.🌏 Help change a life.

We would love to see as many of our Year 5–10 students as possible get involved!

Our 40 hour challenge will run from 12am (midnight) Friday 6th November through until 4pm Saturday 7th November (40 hours!).

2027 Year 7 Information Evening

We are excited to invite students, and families of our incoming 2027 Year 7 students, to an Information Evening on:

Date: Tuesday 17th November

Time: 7-8pm

Location: Year 7/8 Building

This session will provide an overview of what to expect as your child transitions into Secondary School. We’ll share information about subjects, routines, and the Secondary program, as well as details about school laptops and other practical arrangements.

School uniforms will also be on display during the evening, giving families a chance to see the Secondary uniform range and ask any questions.

It is a great opportunity to meet some of our Secondary staff, ask questions, and help your child feel confident and ready for the exciting year ahead.

We look forward to seeing you there!
