Our school motto Ad Lucem Crescimus “Growing towards the light” connects strongly to the school value of Pursuit of Excellence.  At last week’s whole school assembly, we celebrated the achievements and efforts of our students who reached their personal best in a range of areas: academic, science, STEM, music, sport, and the arts.

Welcome Back. We have had a wonderful start to the new school year and are hoping that there is more certainty for the students, staff, and families during this third year of living with COVID. There was a real sense of excitement when the Year 7 and 12 students returned on Monday, 31st January and the other year levels on Tuesday, 1st February. The State Government has extended the availability of the Rapid Antigen Tests to students and staff for the remainder of Term 1 and they have doubled the number of air purifiers in schools to keep protecting students and staff.

We are continually taken aback by the resilience and commitment of our entire school community during another term of disrupted learning.

In response to the ongoing lockdown, students in Years 7-10 moved to a model of checking in more regularly with their teachers during scheduled lessons, which has proven a successful necessity as remote learning continued all the way to the end of Term 3.
