Newsletter – Term 3 2023

Term 3 has provided a wealth of opportunities for students to fully participate in school life on- and off-site. Duke of Edinburgh camp was a huge success this term, with students and teachers enthusiastic about braving the barely-into-spring weather. Our sports teams continue to represent the very best of our school values: excellence in their winning spirit, citizenship in working together, and respect in their behaviour towards all competitors. Throughout this term, there have been Art, Drama, STEM, and Humanities excursions that have enriched student learning. We encourage you to read more about these activities in the articles that follow.
