In the July school holidays, I was fortunate to be able to travel to Siem Reap, Cambodia for a 10-day cultural immersion. Our main reasons for visiting were to be of service to the community through volunteering, and to immerse ourselves in the local culture. When preparing for the immersion, it was important to me that I step out of my comfort zone and jump wholeheartedly into the activities we were going to be doing. One of my primary goals was to come away from the trip with greater self-confidence and a better understanding of Cambodian culture.  

It has become tradition that at our Semester 1 Academic Awards Ceremony, that we announce the senior scholarships recipients for Year 11 and 12. It is with pride that we announce the following 2025 scholarships:

The St Ursula Scholarship is for students who show commitment to the study of either Languages or the Arts awarded to Mary David-Hoole.

The Melissa van Poppel Scholarship for study of Science and participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme awarded to Amelia Miller.

On Monday 12 August, our community gathered together to congratulate and celebrate students who have a high level of academic achievement across all subjects and students who are recognised by their teachers in individual subjects in Semester 1.  Year 7 students received awards for the first time which always bring some extra excitement.
