THS Community Leadership

Two of our Year 12 students, Cas and Max recently had the opportunity to attend a gender and sexuality conference at Melbourne Grammar. There were 15 schools in attendance from all across Melbourne. Students had the opportunity to share ideas and hopes for the future of LGBTIQ+ inclusion in schools. Our students did an amazing job presenting on how to be an active ally. It was a fantastic opportunity to not only meet such a variety of other schools, but to also showcase the knowledge and skills of our own students. 

BOOK WEEK 2022

It was truly wonderful to celebrate Book Week in person this year. Lunchtime activities included a bookmark competition organised by the Arts committee, blackout poetry and origami bookmarks.

The highlight of the week was, of course, the costume parade. Strutting down the runway, the 30 participants proudly showed off their costumes. The enthusiastic audience were treated to an array of characters ranging from the historical - Cleopatra, Boudica and Queen Elizabeth I - to the fantastical - Frodo and Legolas, to the macabre - the axe scene from American psycho! Well done to all participants!
