The Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) Department has enjoyed a year of refreshment and excitement. In February, we welcomed a new visual art teacher, Ms. April Croft, to our team and she has inspired the students to create some remarkable art works this year. We also welcomed Mr. Jason Kohlman, who has been sharing his knowledge and passion for Media with the Year 9 and 10 students.

Thousands of year 12 students have discovered their ATAR scores this week, bringing an end to their high school careers.
But the university entrance score is not as crucial as it once was, with many students receiving early offers or choosing to take a break from academia.

Today we gather to celebrate the end of the academic calendar in a year of challenges, joys and the building of a culture of seeing the “other” through service. We also take this opportunity to recognise the successes, strength, resilience and passion exhibited by our young women in 2022. So much has been achieved, both academically and more broadly, by our students who have had the courage to serve our community whilst honouring their own dreams and capabilities.
We would like to congratulate all Year 12 students on their outstanding academic achievements.
