We have had an amazing fortnight off gathering College students and families and staff. Several major events have been conducted to celebrate learning and to celebrate the community.

The Year 12 Illuminate evening is now in its 13th year. The students who have major works as part of the HSC program exhibit their works for parents and friends. We included works from the following subjects this year:

  • English Extension
  • History Extension
  • Society and Culture
  • Music
  • Drama
  • Visual Arts
  • Hospitality
  • Design and Technology

Illuminate 2023 was an excellent evening and our thanks go to each of our teachers involved. Congratulations to Year 12 students. We wish every Year 12 HSC student well at this time.

The NASSA Senior Athletics was held last week at Campbelltown with many outstanding performances from students in our team. NESSA is the pathway we belong to which allows talented sports students to complete at higher levels. Some students progress to Australian level competition. Congratulations to students competing at NASSA or higher in both Junior and Senior school.

The Young Performance evening was also held last week, and hundreds of students and parents enjoyed individual performances by students in the peripatetic music program.

The 2023 South West Festival was judged our best ever, with estimates of more than 15,000 in attendance.  We trust you had a great day of celebrating the College and the South West. Congratulations to Carmen Pasapera our Director of Community Relations and her team; to Rebecca Clarke, our Business Manager and her team and Jason Swan, Scott Hobbins, Peter Ford and their teams for such a presentation. All staff supervised the day, and we know you will enjoy the photos in this edition of The Way.

How delightful was out Fathers’ Day Breakfast this morning?  Just ask the 1,200 Dads and children across the College years. We are sure they will agree. Again, we are so blessed to have organising teams, this time also including the MRK team who from 5am were preparing a hot breakfast, fruit, and juice. Congratulations staff and families for such a fortnight.
