Hackett House has claimed the 2026 Interhouse Dance Shield after a spectacular performance during last night's Lower School Interhouse Dance Competition. 💃

The girls were crowned overall champions after points from the Senior and Lower School Dance events were combined. Congratulations to Grace ( Year 8 ) on winning Best Ensemble, Riley Dance Captain Sienna on being named Best Choreographer, and Hackett House, whose electrifying performance of 'Don't Stop Me Now' earned Best Junior Troupe.

Congratulations to all dancers and House Dance Captains for their dedication and hard work throughout the year.

Our Years 11 and 12 ATAR Dance students recently enjoyed an inspiring excursion to see ‘Engine’ by Sydney Dance Company at the State Theatre Centre of WA. 🎭

The girls gained valuable insights into the life of a professional dancer, explored the choreographic process behind the performance and experienced a captivating double bill of ‘Love Lock’ and ‘The Journey Itself Is Home’, leaving inspired and with a deeper appreciation for the art of dance.

Our Year 5 students are this week’s Junior Weather Watchers for 9News Perth! 🌦️📺

Today, the girls welcomed 9News Perth Weather Presenter Natalia Cooper  and the Channel 9 camera crew to campus, as part of the Junior Weather Watch program. 

Throughout the week, our students will use their new mini weather kit to collect local weather data and send their observations to the 9News Perth team each day. Their weather reports will help contribute to the nightly weather segment read by Natalia on-air.

Be sure to tune in to 9News Perth at 4.00pm and 6.00pm this week to catch a glimpse of our Year 5 weather watchers in action!

Thank you, Natalia and the 9News Perth team, for this wonderful opportunity. 💙

Our Year 10 students experienced a week of challenge, connection and self-discovery during this week's Boora Koort Program at St Mary's and our Metricup campus. 🏕️

From campfire cooking and creative floral art to bike skills, improv, yoga and journalling, the girls built confidence and resilience while stepping beyond their comfort zones.

Through community service with BaptistCare, trail clean-ups with Mrorca and tree planting at Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, they also made a meaningful contribution to the wider community. 🌿
