Teaching and Learning 

 Term 2

It has been a wonderful start to the term with the exciting opening of the new building and the demolition of the old building. We would like to acknowledge the students, staff and families for their flexibility and understanding throughout this time. Already this term there have been many students taking learning beyond the classrooms through section excursions, VET programs, statewide sporting events, 7/8 Spectacular rehearsals and State Schools Spectacular rehearsals. It is wonderful to see our students thriving in a range of different activities both at school and in our local community.
