JUNIOR SCHOOL SPEECH DAY

Our 2023 Junior School Speech Day will be held at 10.00 am next Friday, 1 December in the Simons Auditorium at the Senior Campus.  As this is a formal occasion, Prep to Year 6 students are asked to be dressed accordingly.  Boys will wear shorts, a shirt and tie with blazer.  Girls will wear their summer dress and blazer. All students will take to the stage and perform in a range of choirs. There will also be several performances from talented individuals and string groups. I look forward to seeing parents and grandparents at this celebration of the year we have had.

YEAR 6 ASSEMBLY

Well done to the Year 6 class and Mrs Robertson on their final Junior School Class Assembly. Their interpretation of ‘Are You Paying Attention’ was certainly entertaining. This was our final Tuesday Assembly for 2024. We will have a special farewell to our Year 6 students on the final afternoon of term, Wednesday, 6 December, at around 2.30 pm in the Refectory at Myrniong.

Students are to be collected by parents outside the Hamilton PAC. 

YEAR 1/2 PORT FAIRY CAMP

Well done to the Year 1 and Year 2 students and staff on a hugely successful camp to Port Fairy.  The students were wonderful ambassadors for the College.  Many were on their first overnight school camp, but you could not tell. They enjoyed their time at the Volcano Centre in Penshurst, the history tour of Port Fairy and beachcombing on several beaches.  We stayed in the lodge at the Southcombe Caravan Park, and enjoyed outdoor/indoor games, a barbeque dinner and a movie.  Thanks to Mrs. Callinan, Miss Brabham, Mrs Alexander and Mrs. Kelvy for their planning, encouragement and support of the students over the two days.
