Performing Arts: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Congratulations to the cast and crew of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ that wowed audiences over the weekend.
The passion, dedication and commitment of these students over the last six months has been exemplary. It was wonderful to see the students absolutely shine on and back of stage, rewarded with enthusiastic audiences each night and very positive feedback flooding in.
A big thank you to the teachers that generously gave many, many hours of their own time to support and nurture these students through a project they’ll no doubt remember fondly for many years to come. These staff are: Bridget Day, Laura Matthews, Kim Bucknell, Raoul Linossier, Astrid Dux, Nathaniel Rosario, Dolores Doran, Tom Hubeek and Hamish Dun.
As we pack down this project, we eagerly have an eye on the next project in 2024…watch this space!

Mathematics AMPED
We were thrilled to host the University of Melbourne School of Mathematics and Statistics for a special event this Tuesday 18 July. Our students across Years 7 to 10 took part in an engaging and thought-provoking workshop on Bijections.
Students encountered apparently random problems and explore connections between these problems. The mathematics underlying these problems has rich applications both in theory and practice, particularly in the space of computing. No prior knowledge required.
Our AMPED students embody enthusiasm and dedication and enjoyed a valuable and memorable experience.

Environment Update
Litter-free spaces
The health of our College environment is integral to positive student and staff wellbeing.
Having litter-free spaces for everyone to enjoy is part of making this possible.
We encourage all students to pick up and dispose thoughtfully of any litter on the College grounds and also to do their bit by taking part in Plastic Free July with these helpful tips.
New recycling boxes
A big thank you to our Year 12 Ecological Leaders, Sam H. and Jacob B. for their great initiative in making recycling more accessible across our Campuses. They've put many boxes around the school to recycle pens, textas and whiteboard markers. Please send any from home to be recycled at school.
Ideas in action
Our Ecological Leaders have some very exciting ideas to improve the health and sustainability of our community. We look forward to sharing these with you in coming weeks.
Save $10 on Zero Waste cleaning items
Aussie company Tirtyl (pronounced: turtle) has kindly shared samples of eco-friendly washing detergent sheets and dishwasher tablets to our staff, who have all given very positive feedback. Tirtyl is making a huge difference with its climate and ocean-friendly cleaning products. You can even get $10 off your items with this promo code.
