Our week has been busy with many learning opportunities and fun. The Festival of Lights concert was absolutly fantastic, and once again we were provided with a wonderful ensemble of music by the Grade 9 students through to the graduatng students in Grade 12. Mr. Hoddinott certainly encouraged and allowed every musician to reach their potential and be true risk-takers.
The grade 11 University information evening was well attended and many questions answered about the process and educational opportunties for our students. The students in Grade 11 will now begin researching into the best courses and universities that they may be interested in applying to. Please contact our University advisor if you missed the evening or you have any specific questions to ask - [email protected]

WWW update
Our teachers have been busy working with students on getting their visa's organised for Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia. All of the students that require visa's have been spoken to and information on the process sent to them. Please take time to check with your student/ward to see if they need a visa. Students are also learning about the communities they will be working with and have begun fund raising for fruit trees and educational supplies. The WWW trips are a wonderful opportunity for our students to give back to the community and really embrace service learning and the gift of giving. Please contact the HS office if you have any questions about WWW ([email protected])
