Week 3 has been a week of camps – Our Secondary Student Leaders spent three days, from Sunday to Tuesday, together working on their plans for 2025 and building a culture of teamwork amongst themselves while the Year 6s and spent three days at Woodman Point testing their comfort levels with a wide range of challenging activities. A big thank you to the ten staff involved in these two camps. It is a lot of work and time away from their own families. Camps are not required at schools, they only run because staff are prepared to attend them. We really are blessed to have a dedicated staff who enjoy providing meaningful experiences for our students. 

Secondary Textbooks

There are still some families who have not purchased the required booklist items for their children. This is not setting your children up for a good year and creates frustration and can cause them to fall behind. Secondary students are very welcome to use secondhand textbooks but parents will still need to purchase the online code for Maths. Please ensure that your children have the stationery and the books that they need to be successful at school as soon as possible.
