One of our star athlete's, Brayden Attwood, made the news last week with his outstanding qualification for the Australian All Schools Athletics Championships. Brayden shared his inspirational story with the press, detailing his training regime as a self-coached athlete, managing less than two hours a week on the track, with no access to competition grade blocks and still managing to win at the State competition.

Intergenerational Connections with Evergreen Retirement Village

Our Duke of Edinburgh students were the talk of Pakenham in the late October issue of the Pakenham Gazette and Star News. Their connection to the residents of the Evergreen Retirement Village has been highly beneficial for both parties. They have developed a special bond and the many visits to the Village has given the students a new level of confidence and their social skills have flourished.
