Academic Excellence

Australian Geography competition

Over one hundred of our Year 8 to Year 12 students have been chosen to participate in the 2026 Australian Geography competition. They are competing against over 600 schools and 54,000 students around Australia. The online competition assesses the student’s geographical knowledge and skills. Good luck to all the students competing this week or next!

Young Geographers of the Year competition

There is an opportunity for students in each year level to compete in the Young Geographers of the Year competition. If you are interested in “Restoring our Environment” and sustainability, then this is the competition for you. If you are interested, please email me for more information.

Academic Excellence Program

In Term One we ran an Introduction to Academic Excellence Program. What a great response we had with more than 30 enthusiastic students meeting early Friday mornings to enhance their learning and be involved in some challenging and fun activities. The buzz in the room each week was tremendous.

The students have learnt about organisation, habits, teamwork and complex thinking. Their chosen project had an engineering flavour. They had to research and then build bridges coving a span of 75cm. Judging to be held this week!

Our Academic Excellence Program is well and truly underway this term. We are gaining some insight into the interesting topic of Philosophy. Our students have some great thoughts and are learning how to look differently at our world. We are looking forward to a fun term.
