Over the past week, we've witnessed a spectacular showcase of talent, creativity, and teamwork from so many incredible performers. Earlier this week, our Intermediate Dance Company took to the stage and impressed the audience with an outstanding performance – their professionalism, energy, and artistry were on full display. Every dancer’s commitment and passion brought the festival to life and made it a night to remember.

A special congratulations to Arlo, who was selected to compere for the evening. Arlo was extremely professional and represented our school proudly throughout the event.

⚖️ Year 11 Legal Studies Excursion ⚖️

Last week, our Year 11 Legal Studies students visited the NSW Supreme and District Courts , gaining valuable firsthand insight into the Australian legal system.

Students toured the Queens Square courts, as well as the historic King Street court complex, before observing a range of real-life criminal proceedings. This authentic learning experience allowed students to see the law in action and deepen their understanding of how the justice system operates.

The excursion closely aligns with the Preliminary Legal Studies syllabus and has provided students with a strong foundation as they prepare to study their Crime topic in Term 4.

A fantastic opportunity to connect classroom learning with the real world!
