Counsellor's Corner - Social Media and Sharing Photos

In my role as College Counsellor, I am privileged to gain insight and understanding about common problems and challenges that our students face daily. Themes of loneliness, stress, anxiety, time management, friendship challenges, poor self-esteem and being highly self-critical are common matters that I hear about. Often, we can draw lines of connection between these feelings and their social media use. 

2022 Swimming Carnival Results

This year’s Swimming Carnival was held at Civic Pool on Monday 7th November, after postponement due to COVID restrictions in Term 1. Thankfully the weather Gods were on our side, and all enjoyed a beautiful day competing in races and/or having fun through involvement in a variety of novelty events. Congratulations to all students, there was certainly an abundance of community spirit, and everyone had an enjoyable day.
