What a great first term, with so many wonderful opportunities taken by our students.

Year 12 Formal

The 2025 Year 12 Formal was a resounding success. The students arrived in a diverse array of formal attire and in some impressive cars to mark the occasion. Past College Captain Claudia Child was the guest speaker for the evening.

Thanks to Mr Rod Spain in his role as MC and to Miss Sophie Boon and Mr Tyron Fraser for the Red-Carpet arrivals. The night was a culmination of the hard work of Mrs Simone Forbes and her team of helpers to make the evening one that will long live in the memories of the 2025 seniors.

Year 10 White Card Training

On Wednesday all Year 10 students completed White Card training. This is a key prerequisite for all students to attend Work Experience at the end of Term 2. Thanks to the careers teams of Mr Garside and Mrs Boland for organising this training for our students.

Year 9-11 Life Changer Sessions

This week the Year 9-11 cohorts have been involved in Life Changer sessions organised by our College Counsellor Mrs Katrina Ballantyne. The Life Changer team are regular visitors to the College and each year build on the process made in past visits. The focus for the visit this week were:

Year 11- Mentoring

Year 10- Connection

Year 9 – Building Self Esteem

The Life Changer team will be back at the College in Term 3.

Winter Uniform in Term 2
Students are required to wear their College tie with their formal uniform. This includes boys having their top button done up. Students in the Senior Years need to demonstrate a high example for our younger students. The cool weather is also rapidly approaching, please check the state of jumpers etc … and ensure that you have contacted the uniform shop to arrange any for upgrades as soon as possible.
