Our school continues to grow, with over 1,850 students now enrolled - our biggest Year 9 cohort yet, with 415 students! I’m especially grateful for our new classroom block, which has come at just the right time. This week, we held year-level assemblies for Years 10–13, where I asked students one simple question: What do you want out of this year? The start of a new year is a great time to reflect - on successes and achievements, as well as challenges and setbacks. No matter what this year holds, we are here to support every student in reaching their goals. Looking forward to seeing you in the next few weeks.
