🌼Our Year 7 students are having an absolute blast on their very first high school camp!

🎉 From new friendships to unforgettable adventures, it’s been amazing to see so many smiles, laughs, and moments of courage along the way so far.

What a fantastic start to their high school journey!

📝Our Year 8 students have spent the last few weeks learning about how political parties are made and run and how to campaign for change within the school.

They had the opportunity to create their own parties and hold an election, where fellow Year 8s and staff cast their vote for the party who they believed could lead a positive change to our school community!

Results are still pending!

🐰 The Bunny has been early and we want to share! 🥕

👀 Sneak Peak: Over the next few weeks our High School courts will be getting a much needed facelift!

Keep your eyes out for more updates!

Students are encouraged to write about topics and experiences that spark their poetic genius (in whatever form they choose.) As always, it is an optional theme. Students are encouraged to write about topics and experiences that spark their poetic genius.

🌟Our Year 10 Hair and Beauty class have begun their hair colouring unit. 🌟

After learning the theory behind hair colouring, they got to practice the application on each other with conditioner. After a few more practices, they will be able to mix and colour each other’s hair!
