What an adventure Year 7 campers have had this week! While rain may have cut the camping short, students tackled activities with incredible resilience, enthusiasm and positivity. 🌧️🧗

The traditional activities of bike riding, billy cart making, the giant swing and zipline provided the usual excitement and fun despite the rain. The indoor visits to Melba’s Chocolates and Mt Lofty Summit were an added highlight! 🍫⛰️

Students from Camp 1 enjoyed activities in the Blue Gum Sports Centre today, finishing their camp experience on a high! Camp 2 students look forward to three action-packed day trips to Woodhouse. ⛺✨

We officially opened the Catford Building earlier this month. It was wonderful to welcome the community into Catford, having achieved practical completion late in 2025. Catford is our new ‘home at school’ for Senior School students. Named in honour of our founding Principal, Geoff Catford, and his family, Catford now stands as a centrepiece of our campus. 🏛️✨🎓❤️

Year 4 students participated in their Challenge Day on Thursday, focusing on developing essential skills in teamwork and problem-solving. 🧠🤝

It was fantastic to see the students communicating effectively, thinking critically and supporting one another to achieve success throughout the day. 🌟👏
