YEAR 12 ADVENTURE RUN | Our Year 12 students and staff set out on a 32km trail run hike. Around 15 girls completed the run in under 10 hours. Set amongst the Grampians, friends and family were stationed along the course to cheer them on and keep spirits high.

Beating their target of $1000, they raised an incredible $1242 for The Queen’s Fund, a Melbourne‑based, volunteer‑run organisation supporting single women across Victoria.

We are so proud of our Year 12 students and staff, what an epic effort, an unforgettable challenge and a seriously impressive way to make a difference! 💛🔥

GYMNASTICS CHAMPION | Georgia W (Year 11) has had an incredible few months, delivering standout performances at both the Singapore Open 2026 in June and the Australian Gymnastics Championships in July.

Now in her 2nd year representing Victoria as a Senior International Gymnast and her 7th consecutive year competing for Victoria at the Australian Championships, Georgia continues to raise the bar with her consistency, composure and growth across all four apparatus.

At the Singapore Open, she finished 4th overall and achieved a FIG‑recognised international podium (Federation Internationale de Gymnastique), placing 3rd in Ribbon.

Returning home to Sydney for the Australian Gymnastics Championships, Georgia and her two Victorian teammates secured 3rd place overall.

Training 22+ hours a week, she continues to demonstrate remarkable improvement, dedication and resilience. Well done Georgia!✨💙
