Small empty pots wanted

Every year in Term 2, after the examinations, the Year 11 biology students cultivate chilli plants from seed. To do this we need as many used, empty and small pots that we can grow our chillies in. If anyone has any spare empty pots can you please have them dropped off at either of the administration buildings for collection?

Year 8 Guest Speaker- Paul Litherland

A year assembly with a difference - an online safety presentation being delivered online! 

Paul Litherland from Surf Online Safe delivered an online presentation to the Year 8 students on Thursday 14 May during their year assembly. He discussed how students could think and act safe when using popular social media apps such as Snapchat/SnapMap and TikTok, as well as covering the Intimate Image Abuse legislation. With a wealth of experience having worked as a WA Police Officer for 20 years, including within the Technology Crime Investigation Unit, Paul offered some good advice to students about their online safety, helping them to become better informed and more aware of their surroundings when they post, whilst still interacting freely online with their peers.

Fr Gaetan Pereira Interhouse Cross-Country Carnival

Our 2020 Cross-Country carnival is well underway with five races completed from our Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 students. All races have had beautiful weather perfect for running, which has provided a wonderful atmosphere. A huge thank you to all the physical education staff for teaming together and providing this unique Cross-Country competition for our students.

The House spirit and passion has been evident in all races this week with all students trying their best to receive points for running under the cut off times (21 minutes for boys and 23 minutes for girls). Current standings after week one are:

The contest for the Father Gaetan Pereira Shield is looking to be very close. The standings will be released once all the Years 7 to 10 races are complete. It will then be up to our Years 11 and 12 students who will take part in their races after the exam period.
