Our Cello Ensemble surprised Head of School Dr Julie McGonigle on Tuesday morning with an impromptu rendition of a song called 'Irish Blessing'. Given the link with Dr McGonigle's Irish heritage, it seemed too good an opportunity to pass up! Cellists Harry, Andrea, Darcy and William set up outside her office and moved our Head of School to tears (in a good way!). Mission accomplished. ... See MoreSee Less
Our Middle School students held a mufti day on Wednesday in order to raise funds for Anglicare's flood relief. Each student brought in a gold coin donation and enjoyed going to class throughout the rest of the day wearing casual clothes. The idea for the event came from the Middle School leaders who decided they would use their position of influence to do something for the sake of those affected by the floods. ... See MoreSee Less
Year 8 students have been spending some time at our Kirrikee Outdoor Education Centre this term. They've learnt how to cook their own food, carry their own gear and even set up their own shelter. The character-building experience helps our students to develop teamwork, leadership, resilience, independence and a greater appreciation of the outdoors. Congratulations to all students who have now completed camp! #CharacterEducation#lifegivinglearning... See MoreSee Less
Great work and indeed character-building adventure!

All Blacks sensation Sonny Bill Williams dropped in to rugby training last week to coach our students. He spoke to them about why he loves the game and then fully immersed himself in our training session, pulling aside individual kids to correct their body position and technique.

We were delighted to receive the 5-star employer of choice award for 2022 from industry magazine The Educator, last month. Last year was a big year for schools around Australia, with COVID enforced remote learning, pandemic restrictions, and on-off school closures. In light of these challenges, it's a great encouragement to receive this recognition. ... See MoreSee Less
Last term our Year 9 Aboriginal Studies class was treated to a private tour of an exhibition at Hyde Park Barracks, lead by our own First Nation's Elder in Residence, Leanna Carr-Smith. Leanna helped put together the exhibition called 'The convict impact on Aboriginal Settlement' which brings to life Indigenous perspectives on European colonisation. It's the first time we've offered Aboriginal Studies in the secondary school and we're excited to build on our long-standing conviction that Indigenous truth-telling and education is vital for our students. #truthteller...

He worked closely with several of our students, taking the time to listen to them play. Thank you Simon! ... See MoreSee Less
