A huge congratulations to our Year 9 and 10 students for their enthusiasm and teamwork during our Amazing Race Day - it was great seeing students dressed in their house colours and having fun! Well done to all our prizegiving recipients; your hard work and achievements make us so proud. I’m especially proud of our Year 10 students for their outstanding achievements in the CAA Literacy and Numeracy assessments. Your dedication and success in these important milestones are a testament to your effort and resilience. We’re also excited to share some fantastic updates for 2025! Our 12 new classrooms on the field will be ready to welcome students next year, and the design for our state-of-the-art 18-classroom Science block is well underway. These developments mark an exciting chapter in our school’s journey and will provide even more opportunities for our students to thrive. Wishing everyone a safe and relaxing summer break. I look forward to seeing you all again next year, ready for another fantastic year ahead!
