Nicole captures first place in Geography Photo Competition

We are delighted to congratulate Nicole (Year 7), who was named the winner of this year's South Australian Geography Photo Competition.

This statewide competition invites students in Years 7-9 to capture a photograph and write a short caption responding to a geographical theme. This year's theme, "Planning for the Future," inspired entries from students across South Australia, making Nicole's achievement even more impressive.

Nicole's award-winning photograph and caption demonstrated outstanding creativity, insight and understanding of the theme. In recognition of her success, Nicole received her prize from Professor Ariella Helfgott, Foresight Director of the SA Futures Agency, and Alice Rolls MP.

Nicole's winning photograph has also been professionally framed and is currently on display in the David Spence Room at Adelaide Town Hall, alongside the other finalist entries. The exhibition will remain open until January 2027.

Nicole's Photograph Caption: This is the construction of the future Women's and Children's Hospital, which will prepare it for incidents that cannot afford to wait in a queue for a room to open. The population will grow by 20% in 25 years, meaning more unprevented accidents and more crowded rooms in the original hospital. Even if there is less room, the world needs more doctors and people are trying to succeed to save lives. By making a new hospital, doctors and people alike can have more space to save lives in new spaces.

Congratulations to Kai (Year 7), who was selected to represent South Australia in the Under 12 Boys team at the National School Sport Australia Championships in Newcastle.

The South Australian team delivered an outstanding performance, defeating the Australian Capital Territory 2-0 in the championship match on 30 October. 

This is a remarkable achievement and a testament to Kai’s dedication, skill and sportsmanship.

We are incredibly proud of Kai for earning the honour of representing South Australia and contributing to his team's national success. Well done, Kai!
