As a school we have a very clear goal to ensure that all our students are supported to achieve their best. Over these few weeks our HSC students have been showcasing their major works. These have been outstanding. The dance, drama and music performances, along with the art, technology and design projects have all shown great diversity in their focus and quality in their presentation. They have also had the added bonus of bringing great joy to those with whom they are showcased. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge both the students and the staff that work collaboratively to develop the skills and understanding and present such wonderful major works. I also acknowledge our Year 12 students who are focussing on preparing for the HSC exams during their final weeks of school. They are an outstanding group of young people and I am confident they are well supported by teachers and parents/carers who have given them both direction and support.

SENIOR SHOWCASE ASSEMBLY

Last Thursday our school celebrated the dedication and commitment of our Senior students, sharing talents in our Showcase Assembly. It was such a great opportunity for the school community to see their works and appreciate the talents and hard work culminating in outstanding presentations.
