Year 7 Camp!

The Year 7’s headed off to the Briars Camp in Mount Martha from the 5th - 7th March. It was an amazing experience for all students and staff. There were many highlights of the camp including but not limited to the flying fox, the giant swing and simply the free time that allows students to further develop the friendships they have made since the beginning of the year.

Swimming Carnival

The swimming carnival that took place on Friday 28th March was a great opportunity for students to get out of the classroom and enjoy a day at the pool with their peers. Students enjoyed the waterslide, and loved getting in the pool; whether it was for the formal races or the lilo relay race.

Digital Thumbprint

Year 7 students participated in Digital Thumbprint on 13th March which are curriculum-aligned workshops that teach young people to participate safely online, with the tools they need for positive, responsible and authentic experiences.

NAPLAN

NAPLAN is currently underway for students in Years 7 and 9. All students are encouraged to just try their best on NAPLAN. We ask that students please bring headphones to use during the tests and also a book to do silent reading if they finish the tests early.
