This morning, we gathered for our Community Prayer Breakfast, welcoming staff, students, parents and members of our wider school community to begin the year in prayer.
Following a musical performance of ‘He’, featuring students Miah Graves and William Wheeler and accompanied by Mrs Szu Yu Chen with a student string ensemble, we gathered in prayer for our students, school leadership, staff and families. Prayers were led by Middle School CRU Leader Jake Partington, Assistant Secondary School Chaplain Julie McIntosh and Parents’ Prayer Group Coordinator Mae Leen Choe.
We then enjoyed hearing from guest speaker Rev. Sandy Grant, Dean of St Andrew’s Cathedral, who shared a reflection on Psalm 23 titled ‘A Song for the Ages’. Drawing on the psalm’s enduring imagery of God as shepherd, Rev. Grant spoke of a care that is both deeply personal and sustaining - one that provides, guides and protects, even through life’s darker valleys.
In a school community shaped by learning, growth and change, Psalm 23 offers a reminder that while we may not always find ourselves in green pastures, God leads us through the dark valleys because of what lies ahead. The image of the shepherd who restores, directs and walks alongside his people invites us to place our trust in God’s care, not only in seasons of peace, but also in times of challenge and uncertainty. ...

Students had an excellent day at Drummoyne Swimming Centre for their Swimming Carnival last week.
Swimmers from Year 2 to 6 took part in heats for breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly and freestyle. Many of our students will now qualify for the next level of competition – the ASISSA State Swimming Carnival.
Thank you to the P&F who provided an amazing barbecue lunch. It was fantastic to see so many families in attendance, cheering the students on.

Congratulations to Andrea Trahana (Year 12 IB) on being selected to attend the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF), a highly competitive national programme that brings together around 450 high-achieving students from across Australia each year, and a first for our School.
During the programme, Andrea explored real-world STEM pathways through university-based learning, industry engagement and hands-on experiences ranging from medical research to humanitarian engineering. She returned with a deeper understanding of science as a collaborative, real-world endeavour - and renewed confidence as she prepares for Year 12.
We are incredibly proud of Andrea and the dedication she brings to STEM learning. ... See MoreSee Less
This week we came together to celebrate our 2025 Academic Excellence Award recipients, a cohort whose achievements reflect not only strong academic results, but the confidence and capability to step into life beyond school.
This year’s award recipients are already pursuing a wide range of pathways, shaped by their interests, ambitions and the foundations built during their time at the School. Our IB Dux, Indigo Parry-Husbands, will commence Law and PPE at the Australian National University. Others are pursuing degrees in Law, Engineering, Veterinary Science, Advanced Science, Business, Clinical Science, Music and Ecology at leading universities across Australia.
What connects these pathways is not a single destination, but the preparation behind them. Throughout their schooling, these students have been supported to think critically, challenge themselves and develop the independence required to navigate life after graduation. This assembly is an important moment to recognise that transition, from students to emerging adults, and to acknowledge the role our community plays in supporting that journey.
We are proud of the Class of 2025 and the diverse futures they are shaping. We look forward to following their journeys and celebrating what comes next. ... See MoreSee Less
71 of our adventurous students set off on a life-changing expedition at the end of last year – our annual 20-day ‘Kosi to Coast’. This trip is the pinnacle of our Outdoor Education Programme. It sees our students summiting Mount Kosciuszko, hiking through the rugged Pilot Wilderness and white-water rafting 150km down the Snowy River to the Victorian coast.
Physically, mentally and emotionally challenging, this journey pushes limits, builds resilience and fosters deeper friendships and a connection with nature.
Well done to our adventurers on completing this incredible feat! ... See MoreSee Less
