Year 9 Captains Report

Welcome back to the school for Term 4, the most exciting term. Christmas holidays are just around the corner and we hope everyone does well for the rest of this term.

On Friday 13 October, students who qualified in individual events at the school athletics carnival competed at the Eastern Metropolitan Region Athletics Carnival. Many students from Middle School did well in their events.

Camp is coming up and it’s fair to say that it will be the most exciting camp.  It is being held in Tasmania. Year 9 students will be going to many different sights such as Cataract Gorge, The Isle of the Dead, Mole Creek Cave and many more amazing sights.

We wish all students good luck in working their way towards earning an ‘S’ in all their subjects.

Good luck for the rest of the term.
