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.

So proud of you Andrea!

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.

Looking back on the 2025 ‘Kosi to Coast’

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!

Fabulous SACS Science.

Fortunate students

Australia Day invites both gratitude and honesty.We give thanks for the beauty of this land and the many gifts we share as a nation — while also acknowledging that its history is complex, and for many First Nations peoples, marked by loss and injustice.Christian faith teaches us that love of Country and truth-telling belong together.Reconciliation begins not by looking away, but by listening well. As a school community, we commit ourselves to walking together with humility, respect and hope.“What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, love mercy and walk humbly.” Micah 6:8
