Trading under the name, Scrunch_Iz, Isabel's scrunchie-making enterprise, which she launched in 2019 in memory of her uncle Brodie, has raised vital funds for BIAT.

Isabel currently donates 50 per cent of the sale of her products to BIAT, and has recently expanded her range to include colourful pencil cases and face masks, along with the ever-popular hair accessories. Read more about Isabel and Scrunch_Iz online here.

Caitlin Marr (Year 11), who has been invited to participate in the virtual International Science and Engineering Fair, which is being hosted in the United States. Caitlin will present her science investigative project from 2020 via the online conference, which takes place over one week in May.

Holly Richardson, Mackenzie Graves and Alet Le Grange (all Year 7), who competed at the 2021 Little Athletics Relay Championships in Launceston on 6 February 2021 with great results. The girls won one gold medal, one silver, one bronze and a fourth place. Terrific effort by all!
