SPRING HAS SPRUNG!
That means it’s time to turn your heaters off!
Plant some bee-friendly plants in the garden, refresh your wardrobe by buying second hand at one of Canberra’s many op shops and make sure to use seasonal Spring produce in your cooking!
We would like to congratulations Brianna Farrell (Year 10) who received the Hockey ACT U21 Women Significant Contribution to Hockey Award.

Why?
Congratulations to Kasey Kelley who placed first in the ACT Snow Sports Schools Cup on Sunday 2 September and achieved the fastest time overall amongst both genders. Very impressive Kasey, we are very proud of you!
A brave call was made not to cancel the Mountain Bike Championship this year! So Charlotte Farrell, Tara Maguire, Fey Etherington, Jess Kalthofen, Hannah Iles and Laura de Puit braved some shocking weather to ride with nearly 700 other high schoolers at Stromlo. The race was shortened to 2 hours as riders were shaking with cold being soaked and splattered from head to toe with mud. But fun was had by all and the girls placed a very impressive 4th and 6th in their all female category, competing against ACT and NSW teams. Well done girls!
