The last two weeks at the College have been a vibrant celebration of learning, activity, and growth across many areas of school life. From future-focused planning to personal challenge and sporting success, our students have embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm and excellence.
A highlight of the fortnight was our inaugural Careers Expo, which welcomed over 30 exhibitors from a diverse range of industries, training providers, and universities. Students from Years 10–12 had the chance to engage in meaningful conversations about potential pathways, ask questions, and gain insights into the many options available to them beyond school. The energy and curiosity shown by our students was outstanding and reflects the College’s commitment to preparing young people for a purposeful future. Many thanks to Mrs Maha Ghabriel for her leadership of the expo.
On the track and in the field, our Junior School students showcased their talents and house spirit at the annual Athletics Carnival. It was a day filled with cheering, competition, and camaraderie. Students gave their best in each event, and it was wonderful to see the encouragement and support they offered one another throughout the day. A huge thank you to our staff for their coordination and to our parent supporters who cheered from the sidelines.
Our Bronze Duke of Edinburgh students completed their first hike last weekend. The rain held off and the group successfully navigated walking tracks alongside a flowing stream. The challenges included slippery rocks and leeches, but the students were able to encourage one another and demonstrate perseverance and teamwork. I want to acknowledge the support and patient leadership of Mr David Catto and the staff who accompanied the students.
Photo week is next week. It is important that all students are presented in full winter uniform for their photos. Senior School students must wear their blazers.
Please note the following uniform and grooming expectations:
- Girls should not be wearing false eyelashes or false nails.
- Boys must be clean-shaven with appropriate haircuts.
We appreciate your support in maintaining the College’s high standards of presentation and pride in our uniform.
As I reflect on the efforts and achievements of our students, I am reminded of the encouragement found in Colossians 3:23 –"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."
