Melissa Shepherd
Principal
Year 9 and 10 Electives
Year 8 and 9 students have been submitting their preferences for their elective courses for 2024. This is the first opportunity that Year 8 students have had to make these choices. We thank all of the students and families who participated in this online selection process.
Write A Book in a Day
Our school staff have again provided the opportunity for students to participate in Write a Book in a Day. Staff were very impressed wiith the excellent writing, illustrations and teamwork across the day. The group also had a visit from author Holden Sheppard who popped in to give some inspirational words to the students. Thank you to the team of staff who host this incursion at our school.
Track and Field Carnival
We had a sunny day for the carnival this year and I was very happy to see a high number of students participating in events. The Health and Physical Education staff work hard to ensure the smooth running of the day and our cafeteria staff and P & C volunteers provided an assortment of food and drinks available for purchase. Congratulations to all students who represented their house and to Draco for winning the carnival.
Quiz Night
The annual quiz night, held on Friday 8 September, was a successful fundraising event and an opportunity for the school community to come together. Thank you to all of the students, parents, families, community members and staff who put tables together, assisted to run the event or donated prizes. A very big thank you to Angie Lukan who organised this event.
Camps and Concerts
This term we have had Music Camp, KPA Camp and Outdoor Adventure Expeditions. Audiences have also had the opportunity to attend the KPA musical Frozen, Dance and Drama Showcase and Rock Night. Thank you to all of the staff who have been part of organising these events for students.
Cross Country Carnival
The school cross country carnival was run last Friday and won by Draco. Congratulations to all of the students who competed in this event and thank you to the staff who made this event possible.
