Highlights of the Term So Far
It has been an exciting and eventful term for our House, filled with opportunities for students to challenge themselves, celebrate diversity, show leadership, and build strong connections within our school community. From sporting achievements to special assemblies and unique excursions, our students have embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm and pride.
Celebrating Learning and Wellbeing
This term began with a vibrant focus on student wellbeing and learning through both Health and PE Week and English Week. Across the school, students participated in a range of engaging activities that promoted healthy lifestyles, teamwork, creativity, and literacy. These themed weeks provided students with opportunities to step outside the classroom, collaborate with peers, and showcase their talents in new and exciting ways.
Recognising Important Events
Students and staff came together to acknowledge several important events this term. Our school proudly recognised IDAHOBIT Day, promoting inclusion, respect, and support for LGBTQIA+ communities. It was wonderful to see students engaging positively in conversations around acceptance and belonging.
Our ANZAC Day Assembly was another significant occasion, where students reflected on the courage and sacrifice of servicemen and women. The respectful participation of students helped make the assembly a meaningful and memorable event for all involved.
The school also celebrated diversity and culture during our vibrant Multicultural Assembly. Students shared and celebrated the many cultures represented within our community through performances, traditional dress, and stories, highlighting the richness and inclusivity of our school.
Sporting Successes and Participation
Sport has been a major highlight this term, with students representing the House and school with determination and excellent sportsmanship.
The School Cross Country event saw strong participation across all year levels, with students demonstrating resilience and perseverance as they tackled the challenging course. Congratulations to all students who competed and represented our House proudly.
Our students also participated in a range of Interschool Sports, including AFL, Badminton, Netball, and Soccer. These competitions provided students with opportunities to develop teamwork, leadership, and school pride while competing against neighbouring schools.
Excursions and Special Events
One of the standout experiences this term was the Nitro Surfing Excursion, where students had the opportunity to develop new skills, challenge themselves, and enjoy a fantastic day outside the classroom. The excursion was a memorable experience and highlighted the importance of participation, confidence, and teamwork.
Students and staff also took part in our special 40th Anniversary Photo, commemorating an important milestone in the school’s history. It was a wonderful moment for the community to come together and celebrate four decades of learning, growth, and achievement.
Academy Highlights
Our academy programs have continued to provide outstanding opportunities for students this term. A major highlight was the visit from a Melbourne Storm player, who inspired students through sharing insights into professional sport, teamwork, resilience, and dedication.
Students also proudly represented the school in the Storm Cup and Rugby 9s, demonstrating excellent commitment, skill, and sportsmanship throughout the competitions. Soccer are excited to continue training for their upcoming competitions!
