End of Year Update

As we come to the close of the school year, there are a number of important reminders to share with you before the break.
Harmony Magazine
We are pleased to share with you the Term 4 edition of Harmony Magazine for 2024.
We hope that you have appreciated the introduction of this publication in 2024 and enjoyed each edition as we wrap up the term.
Speaking of wrapped… look out for our 2024 College Yearbook now named ‘Wrapped’ (students selected the new name) which will be sent home to each family in Term 1 in 2025.
