Inter-House Cross Country Carnival

We had wonderful weather for our annual Inter-House Cross Country Carnival on Friday. It was great to see so many students participating and cheering on their peers. Congratulations to Ferguson House for their win, and a special mention to Summers House who had the loudest cheers. Well done to our individual winners in each race.

Friendships

Our Years 7 and 8 students recently attended a presentation by Mindset Coach, Claire Eaton. This presentation continued to focus on the friendship work that Claire has previously done with the cohorts. She encouraged students to be kind and curious about making friends, with her three top tips being:

1. Showing up as your best
2. Being kind to yourself and to others
3. Thinking curiously

Media Excursion to Murdoch University

This week, our Year 10 Media students attended an excursion at Murdoch University. In contributing to students' learning, the excursion provided the opportunity to further develop visual storytelling skills. With on-location filming and post-production editing workshops, it was a great opportunity for students to progress their knowledge, and get a glimpse into Murdoch’s Media courses.

Years 11 and Year 12 Examinations

Our Years 11 and 12 examinations and work experience involvements will continue throughout Week 3. For the students sitting examinations, these often finish after the school day, therefore, we ask that parents who are using the McNeil Street Slipway please keep any noise down to allow our students in the building to focus. If your daughter is sitting an examination, please ensure she has read the examination schedule carefully and that she arrives with plenty of time for her examination.
