As we step into a new year, our students continue to embrace the challenges and rewards of co-curricular activities. From outdoor adventures to skill-building experiences, there’s plenty to celebrate and look forward to!
Over the holidays, our senior students participating in the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award embarked on one of two incredible hiking expeditions, testing their resilience, teamwork, and outdoor survival skills. The first group of students traveled to New Zealand in December, undertaking an adventurous hike through some of the country’s most breathtaking landscapes. This was followed by a Tasmania trip in January, where students got to explore some of the best natural landscapes the region has to offer. The completion of these hikes marks the penultimate stage of the Duke of Edinburgh journey and I commend each of these students for their efforts.
As we return to school, the co-curricular calendar is quickly filling up. The Sport and Dance Academy programs will be resuming next week, giving students the chance to refine their athletic and artistic skills in a structured and supportive environment. Private music lessons will also be starting back next week for junior students, while senior students will begin their lessons in Week 4. Music Academy ensembles will also resume in Week 4, bringing students together to collaborate and grow their musical talents in a dynamic group setting.
Stay tuned for more co-curricular updates in the coming weeks. As always, we encourage all students to explore the many opportunities available to them beyond the classroom! Looking ahead to 2025, what activities will your child be signing up for? We’d love to hear about their interests and plans for the upcoming year!
