🏀 U15 BOYS BASKETBALL – STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS BOUND! 🏀
A massive congratulations to our U15 Boys Basketball Team, who have secured a top-two finish at the South Coast Regional Competition and booked their place at the State Championships later this year!
The boys produced an outstanding day of basketball, going undefeated with four wins from four games against Goulburn High, Eden Marine High, Nowra High and Moss Vale High.
This is an incredible achievement and continues what has already been a hugely successful year for the team. This will be their second appearance at a state-level championship this year, having already competed at the Basketball NSW State Championships earlier this term.
Throughout the year, the boys have consistently demonstrated their immense basketball talent, teamwork and determination. From dominant victories to gritty comeback wins, they have shown an ability to play for one another, remain composed under pressure and compete until the final whistle.
This is an extremely talented group of basketballers who have already achieved some fantastic results this year, but they'll look to continue their incredible run and see just how far they can go.
Congratulations boys, an outstanding achievement and thoroughly deserved! 🏀👏🎉

Year 11 Ancient History went to Sydney University’s Chau Chak museum today. Students got to interact with objects from the ancient past, including ones from Sparta, Egypt, Minoan Greece and Rome. This session allowed us to engage with the processes of archaeological study and make inferences about what objects were used for.
Our lovely guide Julie then took us through the section with the mummified remains of Ancient Egyptians. We discussed ethical issues with the display of human remains before exploring the collection. Highlights included the mummified remains of animals such as cats, the sarcophagi of the priestesses and the use of technology to explore the mummified remains of the child named Horus.
The day added depth to our study on the value of human remains and was enjoyed by the students and teachers alike! 🎉👏🎉👏

🌱 National Science Week 2026 | Seeds of Science: Nurturing Science for All 🔬🧪

This National Science Week, our students are getting hands-on with science!

The 2026 theme 'Seeds of Science: nurturing science for all', celebrates how curiosity, inquiry and shared learning help scientific understanding grow. Just like seeds, knowledge flourishes when it has the right conditions — opportunities to question, investigate, experiment and apply learning to real-world challenges.

Across WHSPA, students have been putting this into action through practical investigations:

🔥 Year 12 Chemistry with Mrs Cram — conducting flame tests
🦑 Year 11 Biology with Mr Kates — dissecting squid
🧪 Year 7 Science with Mr Kates — testing solubility
🔬 Year 8 Science with Ms Meafou — investigating chemical and physical changes using sulfur and iron, and learning how to distinguish between the two
🔥 Year 10 Science with Mr Kates — testing the combustion of different fuels

From Year 7 through to Year 12, these practical experiences encourage our students to ask questions, test ideas and develop the skills of scientific inquiry.

🌱 Planting curiosity. Growing knowledge. Inspiring the scientists of the future.

As part of Society and Culture and Studies of Religion, Year 11 and 12 classes visited the Nan Tien Temple⛩️ in Berkeley to learn about the life of the monastics and adherents of Buddhism. We participated in a Tai Chi lesson, visited the pagoda, talked with a Venerable Monk and learnt about mindfulness and loving kindness. A wonderful day was had by all. 😄

Congratulations to our students who have successfully completed the White Card training course.
Under the current Work Health & Safety (WHS) legislation, all employees working in the Construction or Entertainment industries—or entering any building or construction site—must be trained in WHS in the workplace.
By completing the White Card training, our students have met these essential requirements. They have been issued the SafeWork NSW 'Statement of Training' certificate, allowing them to work in the Construction Industry immediately. After face-to-face training and assessment, SafeWork NSW will also send them their official NSW White Card.
We’re proud of our students’ dedication to safety and their future-ready skills. Well done!

What an incredible few days we had at the Year 10 PASS Ski Camp! ⛷️🏂☃️
Students embraced the alpine conditions, developed their skiing and snowboarding skills, and demonstrated outstanding resilience, friendship and encouragement throughout the camp. From first-time skiers & boarders finding their feet to more experienced students challenging themselves on the slopes, it was fantastic to see everyone’s confidence grow.
A memorable camp filled with fresh snow, new experiences and plenty of laughs! ❄️❄️❄️
