This week was the culminating event for the Year 7 2026 Long Orientation Programme. Over 120 of our incoming Year 7s and current Cranbrook Year 6s teamed up for a night of trivia and other games. Whether it was expert knowledge in emoji movie titles, cricket batting averages, Minecraft, Taylor Swift, or Cranbrook, the Year 7 cohort of 2026 definitely knows their stuff!

This dinner would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of the Year 10 and 11 Student Coeducation Committee members who came up with the questions, engaged with the students, broke the ice, cleared tables, sang songs and participated in Cranbrook based game of True/False! Thank you to Max, Edward, Tate, Noah, Simon, Ned, Ed, Ashton, Finnigan, Henry, George, and Oscar. Thank you also to Ms Stone, Ms Medniuk, Ms Probst, Ms Munn and Mr Beverley for volunteering and supervising. We are also grateful to have some Year 11 representation from Max, despite a huge assessment workload.

he Trivia Dinner was the final event for the Year 7 2026 long orientation, which began in Term 1 last year. This has included Bin Ball, dance workshops, public speaking, leadership sessions, and Music and Drama workshops. By participating in these events students have gotten to know each other, Cranbrook, and ease into coeducation as our first cohort.

We are so excited to start coeducation next year, and know that our Year 7s and 11s will be beacons for the School.
