Around The College
Official opening of our newly renovated Library
Our newly renovated Library is now officially open after a special event yesterday attended by students, staff and invited guests that have played a role in its conception and realization.
Speakers included Mark Lumley our KESO who did the official acknowledgement of country, John Ballagh, Stella Koutikos our School Council President, Audriana Pham as a College Captain and Library Monitor of many years standing and the College Cadenzas sang a beautiful rendition of Lorde's 'Royals'. A huge thank you to everyone involved in ensuring the event was a success.
Year 7 TLC incursion
On the 2nd of April, year 7 TLC students will be visited by educators from the Ancient Chinese Museum. During 1 lesson of the day, students will hear stories about some of the most interesting Chinese inventions in history and participate in a 'hands-on' museum experience. Please make sure consent/payments are finalised by the 28th of March.

We would like to thank you for your continued support with the Personal Mobile Devices Policy. We have noticed students trying to utilise their phones as a payment method at the canteen and ask that families look to make other arrangements.
Mobile phones are not to be used at the canteen as they are not allowed to be in use between the school hours of 8.45am and 3.05pm.
