Getting close but much to do!   

We are reaching the exciting, yet chaotic, part of Term Four where Christmas advertisements have started on the TV and carols can be heard in shopping centres - but there is still important learning happening in classrooms, exams to be completed and 2025 achievements to be acknowledged and celebrated. With less than three weeks of school left, we have a lot to do.

All Year 10 and 11 students will return to school, and their regular classes, following their recent examinations on Monday, 24 November.
