A huge thank you to the families, staff and teammates who have supported the group throughout their journey. We can’t wait to follow the boys throughout the week and see how they represent our Academy both on and off the court.

Singapore, here we come.

Staff and students have enjoyed a wonderful range of activities and lessons for Reconciliation Week. This year’s theme was All In, a reminder that reconciliation is everyone’s responsibility. Thank you to our student leaders who shared the Acknowledgement of Country each morning and to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who prepared Johnny Cakes to share at lunchtimes. Nikiah, our Koorie Leader, reminded our school community that our school values guide how we learn, lead and support one another. We show Aspiration when we commit ourselves to learning the truth about Australia’s history and striving to create a more respectful and inclusive future.
We demonstrate Belonging by ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, families and cultures are respected, valued and celebrated within our school community.
We strengthen our Community when we listen to one another’s stories with empathy, understanding and respect.
We show Diligence when we continue to educate ourselves, challenge prejudice and work towards reconciliation every day — not just today.
And we pursue Excellence when we lead with kindness, integrity and a commitment to making our school a place where everyone feels seen, heard and valued.
By learning from the past and walking forward together, we can help build a future grounded in truth, respect and unity.

The annual Autumn Soiree was a wonderful success. Instrumental Music students performed for family and friends in a relaxed, casual environment, for many it was their first performance. Instrumental Music teachers and families proudly congratulated all students for their courage, dedication and diligent practice!

Our students were honoured to march and join the Berwick RSL ANZAC service this morning

Today, students and staff gathered to commemorate ANZAC Day and honour the sacrifice of those who have worn our nation’s uniform. Our Principal, Josie, reminded us that remembrance is not just about looking back—it is about remembering with intention and choosing how we move forward. It calls us to carry forward the values those soldiers embodied: courage, mateship, respect, and service.

Thank you to our Humanities Learning Leader, Ms Bond, along with staff and our Year 7 students, for preparing this morning’s poppy display. We also acknowledge our College Captains—Teale, Riley, Michelle, and Austin—and Jordi, Tom, Sarah, Tinaya, and Torah for respectfully leading the presentations.

Lest We Forget
