Variety Night

It was great to see so many parents and students in attendance at our recent Variety Night evening. It was a fun night where many students were able to showcase their musical talents. Thank you to all students who performed or helped out with sound, lighting, backstage or compering.

Wellbeing Week

This week we have celebrated Wellbeing Week with a range of fun, relaxing and uplifting activities designed to support our mental health and overall wellbeing. Activities have included: a Pancake Breakfast as well as a casual clothes day and lunch time BBQ.  All proceeds from funds raised from the week will go to Headspace, an organisation that puts mental health first. A big thanks to the Student Leadership Team for organising these events.
