From the Principal
Some of our Year 12s enjoying the slopes on their ski trip to Mt Hotham
Dear Parents and Guardians
It is always lovely to welcome students and staff back to the new term. The holiday fortnight offers time to recharge and rejuvenate and everyone returns happier for the break from the school routine. The yard is full of chatter and laughter about holiday activities.
Thank you to staff Quentin Hess, Jessica Dunn and Tracy Grant who led a very successful Year 12 Ski Trip to the Victorian snowfields. The students had a memorable trip with great snow, fun and friendship. As an annual event, the Ski Trip continues to grow in popularity with our Leavers.
Local and International Students
We have commenced this week with 963 students including two new Little Wollies students. In the coming weeks we will be welcoming up to six Chinese students through Anglican Schools Commission International (ASCI) who will be joining us for a four week immersion program in our Primary School. We look forward to hosting them.
