From the Principal

On Thursday, we held our first major school event, the ‘Academic Assembly’, in our Multipurpose Centre. We took a cautious approach due to the current pandemic resulting in only Yrs 7, 11, 12 and award recipients being in attendance. This assembly set the tone for a culture that demonstrates diligent participation in the academic and co-curricular programs, the pursuit of personal excellence and belonging to the school community. The 2021 high academic achievers from each year level were recognised on stage.

Thank you to Deputy Principal (Learning & Teaching) Mrs Bernadette Donnelly for her tremendous leadership and management of this first significant school event and the team of staff involved in the organisation. Thank you to parents and family members who were able to attend.

Congratulations to the following students.
